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.

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 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
