I'm a no for Schache (I want to see him do well but he just doesn't seem a competitor) but you've argued that pretty well.

Goody and the match committee are very much process driven people.  Each player plays a role and if someone is injured or suspended then the next person in line comes in.  If Schache is not to play in this circumstance then why re-sign him.  If the delivery is good, he is actually capable.  Could his job be to nullify Weitering?

(Btw I'd still lean to Grundy))

Yeah agree, surely we didn't draft him just to play in the 2s. 

He would be a decent matchup for Weitering. Very possible. 

haha yeah, it's hard to argue in favour of leaving out an AA ruckman who can kick a goal or two 

Really interested to see which way we'll go!!

    He’s a star mate. A tough, premiership player. Literally had the norm smith until CP5 went platinum in the last 40 mins.

    Agree Mate was a star clearly injured or crook cant kick or turn premiership was a world back in the past

    Imagine what Grundy would be thinking on Friday night when he's up in the stands watching Schache taking his first centre ruck contest of the night.

    I understand the potential selection because one can play forward and the other can't, but it's still hard to get your head around.

     

     

    And when the siren sounds..  I'm outta here, tossing his cap in the bin on the way out 😞

    Hard ask for 2 blokes 193cm up against a 211cm and 204cm 

    Sure.

    But most opposition rucks are pretty tall.

    Not only does he barrack for the Demons, at the rate our forwards are falling, he is odds on to line up at FF this week

    It's an old one, but... Back in the day, a church in Hawthorn put up the topic for next week's sermon: "What would you do if Jesus came to Hawthorn?".  A couple of days later there was a scrawl underneath that said: "Move Brereton to centre half forward!"

    And I think there are spots for at least six of the Apostles in the forward line, too.

    Just to clarify what I read in the last minute regarding Tomlinson & Hibberd:

    We had a team that was winning and playing well with Tomlinson alongside Lever & May.

    We dumped Tomlinson after Richmond, brought him back against Hawthorn, then dumped him again for no reason to play Turner against Sydney. Turner wasn't great, but the team still won.

    We then dumped Turner to play Hibberd against Collingwood. After a slow start Hibberd was okay, but the team lost.

    We are now bringing back Tomlinson to play against Carlton without McKay, even though he didn't play when McKay did play in round 22. 

    The question is why, oh why, would you keep stuffing around with the competition's best defence at this stage of the season?

    Binman reckons Tomlinson's failure to play all-team defence cost us three goals against the Hawks. Good enough reason to leave him out when we are losing by less than two goals each week?

    As I’ve already said Hibberd is needed against Cameron and Elliot the next 2 weeks and can’t play 4 games in a row on his Achilles. 

    This. Hibberd is incredibly close to the end and simply can't back up multiple weeks in a row even though he is still good enough when he can get up for the game.

    I think the answer was, "Move Hudson to Centre Half forward" though at the old Glenferrie Oval Full Forward is not that far from Centre Half Forward.

    Correct. Thanks demoniac.  Brereton was never FF.

    Because last week we wasted Lever as a lockdown for most of the game. Third tall means Lever can actually do what he does best

    I thought the original response was..... "play him at CHF"  .... inferring that  Peter Hudson is God and remains at FF.  I never saw it in person but a few relatives did.

    So it’s feeling like Grundy, Spargo, Jordon into the 23 with Schache the dark horse now.. considering Turner didn’t train. 
     

    im gonna go with Thommo as sub, Jordon & Spargo in… massive risk but admits and McDonald can compete might help the bombing be less prevalent

    Did Grundy train today ? ( i mean  really participate) 

    I really do believe we will win this. Not so confident about the Pf.

    But it feels like the whole world is against us. Not just the Maynard  Incident. 

    But we will coming out breathing fire and jump this mob. Their campaign is finished. They are in for a very rude awakening .

    Voss is hedging his bets with Silvagni.  Says he is available but hasn't played a game for over a month.  It is rare for a player with his # of preseasons to come back via the VFL.  .

    They have lost a tall fwd have an injured #1 ruckman and only Silvagni covers both positions.  Pittoney and DeK are not fwds and they need another tall to help Curnow otherwise Curnow will be in for a harrowing night!! 

    If he isn't selected tonight I would expect a late change tomorrow.

    Mind games...!

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
