I know it won't happen, but I would love to see Goody just mix things up today.

• Bowey to a half forward and give us some clean delivery amd poise going inside 50.

• Midfield shake up. Get Brayshaw out of there and get Salem in a few starting centre bounce set up. The only one with poise and smarts around the field. Throw Kozzie in there just to give us a bit of speed and flair.

• Harmes to tag. Again, won't happen, but we're better team when he's fully locking down on their best mid whether that's Kelly, Congilio, or Green. Compensate for not having Oliver there.

 

Agree with all of that.

The Bowey part especially but Goodwin appears glued to ANB which was the move that shouldve been made ie;  Bowey for ANB

Woe for Jordan

Melk as sub

Standing and watching the captains run yesterday in the cold, has added another meaning to the phrase dedicated supporter. I can attest that the sausages were hot cheerfully served and plentiful. I shall be leaving the unit to trudge the 300m to the ground looking like a red and blue Michellin Man, and join other supporters on the hill (at the Grange tent...I hope). Of all the players kicking the ball around yesterday, Bowey impressed me the most, his bullet passes just dont miss. 

Speaking of dedicated supporters, are you happy about the appointment of Ange?

And hope the redlegs have a win for you today.

koz into the midfield mix is something that i thought we would see more of this year, but outside of rd 1 it hasn't really happened

Sorry, this is nonsense.

Kozzy has had heaps of CBAs since Round 1.

* 6 against West Coast.

* 3 against Essendon.

* 11 against North.

* 3 against Gold Coast.

* 7 against Hawthorn.

* 3 against Port.

So up to the Port game in Round 10, Kozzy had a CBA in every game he played except Round 6 (remembering he was suspended for Rounds 2 and 3).

Since then, his possession tally has gone down and his CBAs have stopped altogether.

However, this has coincided with his TOG being progressively ramped up post Round 10 (see in bold below). I suspect we're not using him the bash and crash of the midfield, because he's already being asked to consistently cover more kms in transition forward than he was earlier in the year. 

R1 - 79%

R4 - 79%

R5 - 81%

R6 - 72%

R7 - 80%

R8 - 84%

R9 - 80%

R10 - 66%

R11 - 84%

R12 - 86%

R13 - 86%

R14 - Bye

R15 - 89%

Kozzy takes a good and watchful opponent, so although it'd be great to inject him into the CBs more often, I suspect we won't see this until later in the year, if at all.

If Chandler and ANB start hitting the scoreboard again, that probably allows us to throw Kozzy in at CBs.

Currently 8 deg in Alice, feels like 6 deg, but it has stopped raining. No wind, so conditions are perfect for footy now. Only question is how wet the ground will be after several days of persistent drizzle.

I'm Rapt with the Ange appointment, and so good to see Spurs getting some Australian press. Sick of seeing Man U, Liverpool and Ars....(I can't bring myself to type it), in the news all the time.

Really hoping we see a significant difference with our forward set up now that Brown is back into the team.

Really hoping he has a big one. Been a big fan of his since day dot.

his cba has definitely fallen away then as the season has gone, other than in the monster wins

i think he's one of our most important players forward of the ball, and i trust the coaching dept's judgement as to when to deploy him through the middle...or not, as the case may be

Sorry to stray from the preferred topic of conversation on this thread ... Spurs/Ange.

I think Melksham will get the gig as sub.

 

That would be game 99 for Melb. Might as well get him to 100....

Salem up the ground isn’t a bad call but I want it to be Rivers instead. I like the idea of Salem staying at half back, we can’t strip all our good kicks out of there. With Bowey, Salem and McVee all in the side maybe this is the week we push Rivers further up.

I'm Liverpool, but I hope he does well, just not against my team.

I'm glad to see the back of him to be honest. He made it so difficult to hate Celtic for those two years but normal service can now be resumed thankfully. My team 'down south' is Brentford but I hope he sticks it up all the naysayers down there and win a major trophy with them.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
