I think it’s going to land as:

In: Petty, Hibberd

Out: Brown, Sparrow

Hibberd will come in to play on Dusty. I wonder if Ryan will come in for Richmond since how we have the 3 tall defenders? 

 

The club obviously see our tall fwds as Petty and JVR. Petty was starting to look very good forward before he go injured.

We need a big senior body up there who can compete. Brown showed he couldn't do that on the weekend

Interesting bench.

Petty, Woewodin, Harmes?

One of McVee or Hibberd you would suspect.

Smith for sub again.

Think spargo makes us too small and if Petty is in I can't see Grundy being brought in just yet.

Interesting that Laurie was carry over emergency and not named on the extended bench, they probably want to give him a full game at Casey again for fitness reasons.

If the LUUURVE child Spargy pants gets a game again I will 🤮

Tomlinson has continued to deliver. There’s no need to keep pushing him back to the VFL when we have a desperate need for another tall forward and Petty can fill that role. It’s a win win.

BAD MOVE IMV

I'm with Demon Spurs and have Petty as the sub and leave Smith forward; he did a pretty good job.

Therefore the bench is

 [40] Taj Woewodin, [41] Judd McVee, [29] Joel Smith and maybe [4] Harmesy who has failed to perform recently.

Give Grundy another week's spell.

Agree D11... My read with Brown the only tall out and Grundy likely playing for Casey that Petty is forward again.  

 

Petty and JVR are, whether you like it or not, our best tall forwards and I’d expect they’re our September duo.

Edited by Roost it far

Dunstan is clearly only rated by the coaches as a clearance player. He’s only ever played when Viney was injured if my memory serves me

And that is the only reason he is on the list, to cover Viney in case of injury

i wonder if goodwin will go back to his stated word, and play petty forward if they're bringing him straight back in

tomlinson had a few 'oh my god' moments, but he wasn't on his pat malone along with may, and played well enough to hold his spot - one thing going against him is richmond are not an overly tall forward structure

jj and sparrow looked knackered but i'm going to choose to blame the long break between competitive games

wouldn't surprise me at all if hibberd was the in for tomlinson, and petty came in to play forward, presuming bowey is right to go, i'd go:

OUT: tomlinson, brown
IN: hibberd, petty

smith stays as sub

if bowey is no good then tomlinson probably holds his spot for mine

What do you mean 'stated word'?

He's previously said we wouldn't tinker with the three defensive talls set up, not that we wouldn't play Petty forward...

Dunstan was disillusioned and heading out of the AFL system before we came calling apparently so no guarantee he would have ended up at any other club. 

Disappointed for BB as he's one of my faves. Great human being too. If he's dropped on form rather than injury this late in the season though I fear for his chances of returning. 

Worried that we're getting a little thin through the middle of the ground now with Spaz out with a sore calf.

Dunstan had a choice between the Dees, Gold Coast and the Bombers.

So no choice at all really then dazzle. Was always coming to the Dees with those options.

He originally said that when petty came back he’d return as a forward 

sure enough…back

Apparently he had offers from Gold Coast and the Dees.. looks like he made the wrong choice.

Mind you he would have been behind Miller, Rowell and Anderson and any young players they wanted to develop

 

Most likely...

> Petty as defensive forward on Balta

> Hibb for Dusty

Dunstan was a monty for Sparrow surely?  Love Harmes but the difference between him & Dunstan in the last two matches were chalk & cheese.

Then again i might need to visit Spec Savers!

Edited by Demon Dynasty

Sparrow is a pretty big out for us. He has been superb in Clarrie's absence.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
