Even if Clarry’s not ready please get Harmes out of our side. 

I suggest we may see the Grundy forward experiment. 

In Oliver Grundy

Out Harmes Petty

    Moonboots are precautionary although they look awful.

    Fingers crossed on Petty. Maybe just a week or 2 hopefully.

    Healy on kayo, looking at it on replay thought  it could well be  the dreaded syndesmosis. ie 8 weeks. Anyway fingers crossed it’s not .. he’s a big cog in the wheel for us.

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    there's no match-up for tomlinson at the baggers so can't see him coming in

    OUT: petty, harmes
    IN: oliver

    smith forward and hibb comes into the 22

    Yeah I think i’m with you. Tempting to give grundy one last go though isn’t it.

    Hibberd was quality after he came on for Petty. Definitely deserves a full game next week against the dangerous Carlton smalls.

    For anyone else you’d be suspicious of a syndesmosis so I’m not surprised job for life Gerard went with that. But with Petty only just recovering from the sprained ligament in his foot that has to be the suspicion too.

    Either way serious foot/ankle injuries rarely get back inside 6 weeks. Full fit inside 5 would be a good result.

    ...not really?

    do not rate as a forward option and gawn's work around the ground has been extraordinary these last few weeks

    Thought he was average. A poor panicked handball gifted the Roos a goal. 


    JJ’s second half probably keeps him in but geez if Oliver is cherry ripe and can dominate the midfield with Viney and others then do we go a double change in the middle and take out a crash and bash mid and bring in Woey, Spargo, Laurie or even Moniz-Wakefield? All who would bring either speed or polish. 

    We had 6 inside mids today: Viney, Gus, Tracc, Sparrow, Harmes, JJ. We really only need 5. 

    I don’t think he’s quite ready but I’d love to see the Money man Wakefield

    Oliver for Harmes seems a reasonable bet.

    A few options for Petty. We could try Grundy. We could flip Smith back to the forward line and bring Tomlinson back. We could go back to the well with Brown, but I doubt that will happen. A lot of food for thought. A shame Casey didn't play this weekend.

    I think Viney 71% gametime was part of the idea there.

    Loading up on mids lets us run out games strongly, but it means we also start slowly because we’re slow.

    • 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.
