That still means that one of Rivers or Brayshaw plays midfield if we play 7 defenders. 

If Hunter goes (which he shouldn’t) I’d put McVee on the wing he was far from our worst last night

Daniel Turner has to come in imo.

Jake Levers form has taken a complete nose dive ever since they moved Petty which has left him playing as 2nd key defender which it's been proven over time that he plays his best footy as a floating intercept defender.

We built our our premiership defence off the back of playing 3 tall defenders. Stick to that.

Amen to this until Petty returns.

Who comes out though?  Or straight in for Bowey (inj)??

    If we lose this match at the MCG to Freo like last year then this year can bugger off.

    I think the FD will persist with JVR. They love the fact that he competes. Those calling for Nibbler or Langers to be dropped are wasting their breath/ keystrokes. Won’t happen. Those two and Spargo are always going to be picked when fit.

    I don’t reckon TMac did enough to hold his spot. Has Turner ever played forward?

    Don't think so. 

    BBB most likely gets the nod over Macca provided he has an injury free run at Casey

    There's little at Casey.. perhaps they will get desperate and try Joel Smith up front

    Bowey out allows Sparrow back in

    Could well be no change

    Struggles to get a kick at Casey but I guess it must be easier at AFL level 

    Not sure why people seem desperate to promote a player that isn’t in form and seems incapable of making a contest and chase when not in possession 

    Plenty looked slow last night and you want to add potentially our most immobile player - struggle to see the merit in this 

    We would run all the great leading full forwards out of form, it's a dysfunctional forward line, we don't have a Lockett, Brown ect but hey lets just bomb it in and expect it to be done.

    just watch Casey today

    we'll play the boundary and bomb it forward. Even have the left side kick out.

    Do we ever practice anything different ... even for a quarter or two at VFL level let alone at AFL level

    lmfao and we do that to.

    If Hunter is suspended does that allow Langdon to play on the other wing for the week. They seemed to swap sides at the start of the year. 


    Have to start thinking outside of the box.  Maybe try Brayshaw forward

    Prior to the Casey game, I would assume…

    OUT: Hunter (suspended), McDonald, McVee
    IN: Sparrow, Brown

    JJ needs either a full game at afl level or straight up get dropped - he offered little last night after coming in for Bowey

    Brayshaw must return to defence - too slow to transition between offence and defence as a mid

    Edited by whatwhat say what

    Bring BB back in. No point waiting. I think JVR's indiscipline was due to frustration at his lack of impact. Give him a few weeks at Casey to refocus.

    I'm not very confident about TMac but maybe he'll be better with a game under his belt. He did kick 2 goals.

    Sparrow to replace JJ.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
