Godfrey has been excellent as a stopper in the past couple of weeks [Goodes, Burgoyne & West].

Kerr has lowered his colors to Boyd last week, and Ling this week. I assume Judd gets a hard tag every week and just beats it most of the time.

I think Godfrey should go to Kerr. Perhaps play Bruce on Judd and try to go head to head, the way Bruce used to play on Hird.

Thoughts?

Agree completely. I expect fire works between those two as well. No doubt Kerr will have a crack at Godders, if far more composed players in West and Goodes have previously.

Would love to see one of the young guys given the job on Judd. Regardless of who plays on him, he'll kill us, so why not give the experience to someone like Bate, or Petterd if he plays, or even Bell. I know it's a huge ask, but we have nothing to lose.

Bruce on Embley for me.

Godfrey vs Kerr - he doesnt seem to like the physical, nagging side to the game, young Daniel. I'm sure Godders will give him a few 'horse tranq' jokes over the course of the day...

Bruce vs Embley - as much as i like the idea of Bruce playing on Judd ala Bruce v Hird, i just think this is a better match-up physically. Just imagine what Judd would do to Bruce with that burst of speed?

BELL vs Judd - Jaded put this one on the table, the more i think of it, the more i like it. Has the speed, strength, agility and engine to go with Judd. Could be a massive learning curve for Belly, who has come on in leaps and bounds this year and will only get better from the experience. And if he does well, it just adds another string to his bow.

Other options include Junior Mac on Judd (wihch is probably more likely), or Godders on Judd and Junior on Kerr. Maybe Ward to do a defensive midfield job if he stays in the side. Would at least make him accountable.

Other than that, i dont see us having too many options.

It seems that Embley may be a few weeks away from playing according to Fox Sports, due to an ongoing knee problem.

Apparently he was only walking laps at training on Monday.....

Having said that though, he will probably play now :unsure: !!!

I like it.... A lot.

And if Bell goes ok, maybe we can make it his yearly appointment? And if he doesn't, which is more likely, JMac can take over and at least keep Judd to 30 possessions.

godders to kerr i think but we cant let bruce or TJ go head to head with judd.

if we had someone of the same calibre, sure back our guy in but no team has a midfielder in the same league... apart from West Coast.

I agree with those wanting to play a younger player on him, and no neccessarily a tagger either. Put sylvia or jones onto him and let them see what the best in the league do, it would be a marvellous lesson, especially for their minds if not bodies.

- they'll learn how hard to run and when

- the most effective ways to break tags

- roatations of a top midfielder

-decision making

i would like to see that.

What about Junior to Kerr, Bruce and the human splinter Godders rotating on Judd. To be quite honest I think their younger kids are the real problem eg. Rosa, Hurn, Selwood, LeCras, etc. We may be able to shut down Kerr or Judd, but these kids are more than capable of stepping up.

If you took your own advice occo,GO WITH YOUR HEAD NOT UR HEART, you'd be barracking for Westcoast Eagles.

You've sucked me in, what other younger kids?

PJ, Bell, Bate, Jones, Warnock, Dunn all played last week. We've played Petterd (who was only forced out through injury) and Garland (who was clearly not ready), Frawley as an emergency but hadn't earned a spot straight up. Who of the young kids are left? CJ was out of form and i think it was a good move to drop him, Newton (by many reports) is not ready yet as he's only just started playing Sandy seniors, Weetra is a smokey pick and i won't expect him till next year, and Neville i've heard nothing about.

We ARE playing the kids, and many of them are showing the way. You can't just pack a team full of young players and hope they'll learn their lessons, your reasoning makes no sense.

Irronically i understood what you were saying before that garbage. I don't expect us to win this week, i won't tip us, BUT it's still worth discussing who to play on two of the best players in the comp. If you don't care than why go onto a forum that's all about discussing this very thing?

On the topic of the thread, for me, we play Godders on Kerr. Chances are that Judd will tear us a new one anyway so i'd like to see us go with either Bruce to run off him and try and be damaging (pipe dream possibility), or as Doggo24 suggested, go with Bell. He's been a great improver this year and doing this will not only give him great experience but show some real faith in him (much the same way as we did for Bartram last year).

I would have thought that no supporter gives up caring, no matter what......

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
