Melksham and Smith are both naturals for the horrible sub position because they are both fit and can kick straight. Smith is also athletic. I have liked most of what Smith has added, but I don't believe they should both be in the 23.

I am one of the few James Jordon fans, and hope he holds his place. I would have him in ANB's place because he can do all the things ANB is loved for (gut running, tackling, defensive pressure) but he can actually kick and doesn't fumble as much.

No JVR looks to be a selection howler. Unsure what to make of it. Spargo very lucky, and would prefer only 2 small forwards.

Stoked to see another Woewodin at the Dees. I have watched about half the Casey games and he looks more than ready. His link up play could be a real point of difference, as long as he can kick straight.

    Suprised no dazzledavey named, calling most our players useless I reckon he’d have a better go.

    Agreed. It would give the Saints a headache, too. Hard to match up on an anonymous rando sitting behind a keyboard. 😁

    I’m always ‘glass half full’ with our beloved Dees, but gee, I’m confused / perplexed by this week’s team selection.  I’m shaking my head in disbelief, but simultaneously acknowledging that our MC know far more about these things than I do.  Gee, but, wow!

    Yep and I thought it might be as sub against Roos.

    A poor game will be his last.

    Agree that's very likely.

    JVR Sub?

    Wouldn't that be interesting. 

    A 3 goal impact last quarter by JVR. Just dreaming.

    “I am not sure we have improved our forward line.”
    This is an example of an understatement.

    “Melksham is back.” This demonstrates the word farcical.

    Does anyone seriously believe the selected forward line is how the FD see us going forward?

    Good ins.

    Jordon into the middle off a dominant display. 

    Spargo best 22, provides defensive run as a high half forward and will help with our kicks inside 50. Has been managed and should be in good nick.

    Woey rewarded for hard work, brings the buzz of a debutante- a father son of one of few Charlie winners ti boot.

    From goody's comments, JVR has some work to do on his game (and possibly fitness?). 

    He'll be back in the next couple of matches, and is best 22.

    They want him cherry ripe in the finals not mid winter. Good development of a very young player to be playing as a key tall.

    Unbalanced forward line, who's really going to play CHF

    The MC must be really worried about their pace off HB at the Saints on that deck…

    Surprised at JVR but this just means I was right - he wasn’t ‘managed’ he was dropped and that is ok, he should come back in soon and be better for it.

    Glad Melksham gets to 100 with some semblance of form and Brown can straighten us up to some degree. He has great forward craft and leading patterns - we need to unlock it this year to win finals, especially without Fritsch.

    I like the ins in isolation. Aside from JVR not sure who else we bring in to kick goals. 

    Does Woey play as a roving forward?

    Lets bloody hope not...otherwise we may as well concede any September glory now and spare us all the angst.

    The selection committee have lost the plot. Where the hell is JVR? Who is going to kick our goals? I'm not too concerned with the other changes but they had to recall JVR, that's a shocking decision.

    Must give bbb another week under the roof. Last week's experiment wasted due to rain.

    In what world do we need to 'experiment' with BBB?

    He has played 150+ AFL games.

    We know what he offers. It hasn't been working.

    OMG

    Fritra out so drop Smith and don’t recall JVR, our best kick and best contested mark   The other decent contested mark is Petty but he stays back    Melksham fresh off 7 possessions stays in the forward line  

    Hope this works but I cannot see how  - I could very easily lose all interest in the remainder of the season.

    He’s played one game since round 2or 3, and while he seems cooked and I think he’s owed a couple of games

    If we are relying on a stifled and poorly supplied 19 year old to kick a winning score - we are in huge trouble.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
