Yikes. So when Tmac is rucking we have no tall forwards.

    Joel Smith will ruck IMO

    Tmac can’t get off the ground.

    Just when I was just starting to come around again..

    We went in last week with one less tall in defence and that proved costly and now we're going in with one less tall with no genuine tall up forward when Max needs a rest.

    Yikes..

    Grundy is named as an emergency with Hibberd Laurie and Schache but if he can't get a game this week it is bye bye. 

    Guessing Hibberd will get the Sub roll.

    Huh, I thought Grundy would come in for JVR. Well there you go. 
     

    Edit: first said TMAC not JVR

    Jordon😪. I hope Grundy is the sub because we might need him but regardless, his non-selection in the 22 makes it completely clear the club is happy for him to move on.

    It’s as if our supporter base has no understanding of football. Who plays ruck when Gawn is off????

    Gee mate. It's almost like you have no understanding of football

    This creates challenges for Carlton’s backline in match ups and forces us to lower our eyes… seems like I’m alone but like it a lot

    No Grundy is so dumb.

    No idea why Hibberd has been dropped, he was excellent last week but assume he will at least be the sub.

    Jordon no thanks.

    I like it create a bit of chaos going forward with smalls, plus they are all runners so can push up the ground and help

    Guess you just have to have faith in the section committee but so far this year Jordan has failed every-time he has been picked and Schache "granted only emergency" can't even play well at Casey.

    Mmmm, you don't think both parties came to an arrangement 6 weeks ago (if not longer)... they're not NOT discussing with him, nor are the 'signaling' to him.

    It’s a good move. No point bring in another tall if we just play the same way. May as well bring in someone who can hit a target inside 50.

    Is anyone else frustrated with Van Rooyen and annoyed that's he's out due to stupidity?

    I know it's his first year but he has gone some silly things this year and when our forward line is falling down he puts himself out with a silly elbow to the chin which he didn't need to do.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
