I think we should only change the sub. Jordon for Laurie. The rest stay hopefully Roo's suspension gets downgraded. I can't see who we could replace Roo with maybe go small and pick Spargo.

    Just had the realisation that James Harmes is going to come in for Angus Brayshaw and I've now vomited everywhere. If we are going out in straight sets, please don't pile on the misery of watching Harmes torch teammates, try his dusty impression before getting pinged and miss directly in front set shots at crucial times in the again.

    3. Have a forwardline with, wait for it, forwards 

    Yes like renowned forward Harrison Petty or longtime halfback flankers Jake Melksham and Bailey Fritsch?

    Will Carlton be forced to wear their clash jumper next week? Given we had to wear ours against the Pies

    They were in 2011 vs West Coast

    So we go a man down without Gus? Cool idea. Bamboozle them.

    If we as supporters want to help our players the plan is pretty simple. If you went to the G on Thursday you must turn up again. Better still buy a ticket for a mate. Doesn’t matter if they don’t barrack for the Dees, so long as they hate Carlton and are very loud.

    The bull [censored] free kicks in Carlton’s favour, from the umpires (AFL) need to stop next week.  The critical calls against Sydney and the non calls for Sydney was laughable.

    Out: Roo Gus Laurie (sub)

    In: grundy, spargo Jordan (sub) 

    Spargo comes in to get kozzy more into the midfield and let Trac spend more time inside 50

    .... or even non forwards who can disperse leads so that it its impossible to find a pack of 20 to kick it towards.

    Harmes season ending injury today I believe.

    Yes I know the narrative about Schache but we signed him for another year and TMac, really, are we confident he will win a one on one battle. At least Schache is a tall forward so could be novel to have one of those in our forward line given JvR is out.

    Remind me to ping you early next year when Petty kicks 0.3 (two out on the full) after having the ball kicked on his head 21 times.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
