Going in with one injured ruck against a team with 2 legit rucks is bizarreย 

Gawn has been declared fit and is a beast who can battle through almost anything

What makes you think he is not match fit? trust media gossip more than the club?

Werribee,??

Iโ€™m completely confused

1- Hibbo OUT ???! Omitted. wtf. One of our best last week. Iโ€™m confused.ย 

2- No Grundy ??!?!?! Wtf ย our ruck is under an injury cloud. heโ€™s probably packed his bags already. Goodys trial failed and heโ€™s on the outer (on a plane bound for Sydney town)ย 

3-???? Spargo IN Wtf. ๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸคฏHeโ€™s had a poor year and very average at Casey. Goodys lovechild rises again.ย 

4- Tomlinson?? IN. ย Forward or back ??? Maybe heโ€™s the new forward option ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

No Petty. No Melksham. ย No Brayshaw. No JVR. Weakest team in 2023ย 
ย 

my changes.
In. JJ. Grundy.ย 
outs. JVR Brayshawย 
ย 

Agreed

The non Hibberd section is mind boggling, he played a great game last week & youโ€™d think his retirement couldโ€™ve given his teammates a little bit more motivation for a club favouriteย 

Perfect opportunity for Grundy with Max a bit sore & Carltons two rucks

Spargo l can cop, at least he can spot up a target inside 50

And some people want Schahce as the sub

Ive lost all confidence now, itโ€™s been lost at the selection table

I thought Grundy was valued at our club??? Those words will haunt Goodwin & could go down as the biggest flop of a trade & only Melbourne could manufacture this! Canโ€™t help injuries but if Gawn is on one leg who will be out back up ruck???

Our list is incredibly short, especially the forwards. Itโ€™s been a real failure of list management thatโ€™s never talked about.ย 

not at all.ย  lower that to 188cm and you'd add a few.ย  Clarry missed that list by hair

Tall mids have been a priority and we have several talls injured

Spargypants in !!!

Someone send the cardio ambulance around to picket fence's house !!!

Actually I was genuinely concerned about this so I made some discreet enquiries.

Picket has apparently survived the selection shock but the paramedics had to cook two defibrillators and blackout the neighbourhood to keep him gasping.


Tbh I don't think they gave the gawndy combo a real chance. How many games did they play together in the dry?

Don't have to 'look'

Good luck.... but....

Uninspiring ins.. although happy that Thommo gets to play a final for us.ย 

Uninsipiring maybe, but flags arn't won by superstars.

All the ins are quality, solid players, more than capable of playing a role in my mind.

Our depth is certainly being tested, but we're still in the flag race because we have it.

Tommo in is a bit baffling to me.ย  Could he play fwd and sit on Weitering?

Not strong enough in the air I'd say... Tommo's strength is at ground level and neat disposal.

Our ability to mark inside 50 really concerns me.ย 

Iโ€™m sort of hoping that our forward game plan will involve very quick sharp kicking in (breaking the lines, lowering the eyes) , not slow congested long bombs.

If and when it is bombed in (say from a centre clearance) again , speed is the essence.

Andโ€ฆ. keep it locked inโ€ฆ. and kick accurately, andโ€ฆ.

And the last thing we need is to bring Grundy in as it takes our best player away from what he does best.ย  Gawn will get us home tomorrow night

So ... Chaps...Chapettes..ย  ( anything in betweenย  )....

How do we feel about the looks of the team ?

Take all brouhaha and mock excitement away...ย  ย are we booking tix for Brissy... or checking out the Specials Board at Kooroora ??ย 

I'm disappointed as to where we sit.

I fear another wasted year...

Cheersย 

I will be honest I never really get too caught up in team selection and only just looked at the full team after reading so many people upset with selection. Looking at our team itโ€™s still a bloody strong lineup, yes we have some fragilityโ€™s but if we play our best and take our chances we will win.ย 
ย 

Donโ€™t worry where all fearing another wasted year. If we lose the anger and disappointment will be at a record Demonland level. This is a massive game.ย 

Blues wont kick a winning score against us. Goody has backed in our defence. Blues to kick 10 goals or less

Jake Lever,ย Adam Tomlinson,ย Jake Bowey
Judd McVee,ย Steven May,ย Christian Salem (Rivers)

and yes, it won't be pretty to watch

The midfield is a bit of an issue for mine. They beat us in there in Rd 22 when we had Brayshaw in, and they were missing Walsh and cerra. Now they're both back in and we have ...JJ. Ouch.ย 

Overall the team is NQR and I think we all know it. Wish us luck ...

Only via a dubious goal line review.

In a general sense you are correct but on his day JJ is up there.ย  The question is will he bring it for three quarters or more on the night!ย  If he can only manage a quarter or two at his best then yes we might be in trouble.

Another big watch for mine is Viney.ย  His last three finals haven't been his greatest performances vs his usual VG or better H&As.

We need Kozzy to play more mid field & stoppage minutes along with Tracc to play substantial time inside 50.

You'd imagine Hibberd would be sub.

Would be bizarre to completely drop him after his superb shut down job on Jamie Elliot last week.

Has to be , I'd back him anywhere in the ground to make a contest. Even in the forward 50

ย 

Tomlinson .... i get it.

JJ and Spargoย  omfgย  ย  ย They better play out of their skins tomorrow night. Dont you both dare mupp it.

Hibberd must be unable to play back to back games hence retiring.

Grundyย  ??ย  Maybe subย  incaseย  someone stomps on Gawns busted toe.

I think Grundy is gone; same as most Dl posters. Shame.

Correct.

Same as LJ.

We were a man down much of the time from about Rnd 12 onwards and even worse when we hit finals.

Goes some way towards explaining how our second half of the year was so shizen.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwinโ€™s summer of love.ย Manyย issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
