As others have mentioned. This is a great test for our forward line. 

Brambles has played 30 games

Coffield has played 50 games

Khamis has played 10 games. 

It's a great test because if our forward line isn't able to win one on one match ups, find separation and take marks against this lot I'm not sure when. 

 

Tmac and BBB. Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.

 

Laurie, Schache and Spargo out doesn't raise anyone's eyebrow, and Bowey of course is injured.

Tomlinson I can't quite agree with it. Searching for the panel's perspective all I can think of is that they looked at the various tall opponents they might put Tomlinson on;

Ugle-Hagan - too mobile

Lobb - too big.

Naughton - too strong

English - too big, too strong and too mobile

But how that translates into Hore and McDonald, I don't know.

Still, I'm thrilled for Hore and between him and McVee I expect we'll see a tribute match to each half of Michael Hibberd's career!

These changes man... this season has 2019 written all over it. 


Not sure about all those changes, and not using Fullarton, seriously though Tmac must have impressed some folks to make cut.  I can understand BBB but I really hope Tmac has a good one, we need him to.

Who on earth is sub out of this list though?  Hope not Billings again I want him to play a full game dammit.  Probably either him or WW2 surely?  Maybe Tmac?? 

Hope BB and TMac have good games but gee it leaves us vunerable if they both play poorly.

posters reactions to the changes never stop being hilarious 

if we win, we do not speak of them 

if we lose… Goodwin must go

We ain’t beating the dogs with these selections. I thought it was April 1 for a minute 


Five changes for round 1 is a clear admission that we royally stuffed up the opening round team.

Hopefully we never see Laurie, Schache and Spargo again. Chandler very lucky as well, but I have no idea what Tomlinson did wrong.

so you give us no chance due to the FD changes?

Chandler has been lucky for a long time now. He played well in the first 8 -10 games then has dropped off something chronic


Changes needed, chorused all the post-Sydney critics.

Changes we duly got, and still no one seems happy.

But apart from Tomlinson, rather unluckily omitted, and Fullarton, what other fringe players have staked any sort of claim?

For TMac and BBB this is probably the final chance to show us whether they still have what it takes to compete at AFL level. I for one hope they prove the grumblers wrong.

So far it has already been a good week anyway, with Collingwood going 0-2.

It's true.

I'm not too fussed with the changes, I've got a "The best revenge is to live well" attitude as a Dees fan right now.

Hope T-Mac or BBB bags a hatful.

Goes a long way to explain wht we are currently 1.60 favourites (in from 1.65 AFTER the final teams were announced).

And can you believe we lost to Sydney last week when they had their own 3 best midfielders out

Adams 0 games for Sydney 

Mills who rarely played through the middle unless needed to run with someone played more off half back

Parker was a very very good midfielder but Warner and Guiden have been there 2 best mids since early 22

But Kane Cornes was pushing the best mids out agenda and many bought it. If you watch footy and Sydney’s evolution you would realise how deep their midfield went

They made the pies look second rate tonight

Any midfield that has Bont in it is dangerous and Sanders is very good he will be one to watch

18 hours ago, leave it to deever said:

Aside from Tmacs two final performances, I think the issue is we have seen Tommo play in a real game and he was one of our better players so he shouldn't get dropped. 

I am not opining on Tmac vs Tommo really but merely commenting  on your criticism of Tmac. I think he will be fine based on his to match form and training. Tommo was not in any way responsible for our loss but like Laurie is a whipping boy at selection. 

Here’s hoping for a real team effort on Sunday. Go Dees.

Gives us a little better recognition after the Pies assassination. We stood up till our legs ran out of gas.

How do you get to sit in on Reviews? Everyone gets filthy when they are dropped.

Yeah everyone gets filthy when they’re dropped but his level of filthiness was: ‘what am I even doing here/I want to leave’ 3 months after he was dropped.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
