Good luck to you if you can get anything out of those selections.

    So who are the 4 interchange and 1 sub?


    Petty is a certainty (doh)

    Sparrow for mid-field rotations (rather than Harmes)
    Tomlinson 
    Hibberd

    (or is that too may backs?)

    Smith is the perfect sub

    Spargo will be kept out by the form of Chandler

    Grundy is destined to be an emergency every game

    That is probably the way it will barring an injury prior to game time

    They must have liked Jordon's game last week.

    Jordon was a bit quiet last week but has been good at playing specific roles since Clarry has been out.

    There’s more to footy than stats alone

    Poor Taj I thought he started all right. He was a bit quiet last week but I think of the chances Neal Bullen, kozzie,even spargo and JJ have had over the season.

    Of course nth bring back Cunnington. The guy that always manages to find the ball against us.

    I think Jordon is a lock until Clarry returns. I want Hibberd in for Harmes, but I don't think we've ever played that many defenders together.

    Cotchin isn't best 22 anymore. It's passed him. Champion but I forgot he was in the ground last week

    I think they have named him to give him a bit of confidence, he's had a tough year with selection. I think they will see what he brings and if he plays like he did again I suggest he'll be dropped. Probably will anyway to make way for clarry

    Spargo and Chandler plsy different roles..

    I suspect spargo comes in for Woey, who had been playing spargo's role.

    I am OK with Woey being dropped. Had a run, knows what to expect next year, or perhaps if an injury occurs to one of the wingers/mids before the season ends.

    A chance Tomlinson takes the sub position (or Harmes), as they need to get some game time into Joel.

    Hibbo slots into the backline, unless they decide to keep Chandler.

    Sparrow is Woey's replacement.

    A no to Grundy and Spargo from me.

    Petty on the bench. Lol. 
     

    Even WORSE Spargy Pants in the squad!?? He was very very ordinary last week in the half he played! What about rewarding guys like Andy Moniz Wakefield who was sensational in a loss last! Time to reward FORM Goody!

    Goody did say Grundy won’t play this week so not sure why he is named - emergency I guess. I favour him being on the bench to share ruck duties against their two rucks.

    We could, if we play Bowey at half forward… I know it won’t happen but a girl can dream of those sexy kicks going inside 50

    My tip for the bench:

    Spargo

    Sparrow

    Petty

    Hibberd

    Smith (sub)

    Meaning woey, harmes and tomo dropped.

    The eight bench players are named in order of jumper numbers from lowest to highest.

    You can tie me to an anthill and smear my ears with jam if Petty isn't in the starting 22.

    • 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.
