PREGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

[Demonland 73,253]

The Demons have a 10 day break before they head on the road to Perth to take on the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,438]

Carlton with Sydney in Sydney, us with this game.

Helps ease the swallowing of tonight...

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

Out.   Chandler.  Jogging. He’s clearly injured.  Clearly.

 AMW IN !!!!  

Out.  Turner.  One good game then lost as a forward v cats and lost v blues.  Natural defender.  
 

MCADAM IN !!! (If fit)

Give Woewodin a go . He is improving every time he plays.

[Gouga 570]

Surely mcadam for billings...

[Deelectable 1,043]

I've been a supporter of Turner and he has a bright future. Fullarton had a very good game against Port Melbourne a few weeks ago and has been moderate since. If he plays well tomorrow night I would promote him for Disco who needs to regain some confidence at Casey. If Fullarton plays it would mean JVR could stay at home and hopefully build confidence against the Eagles. Chandler clearly playing injured. Give him a rest. I'm also in the AMW camp. He looks classy. If Tholstrup has a cracker tomorrow he might be considered. 

[DemonWA 3,936]

Minimal changes. Almost glad we got stung, as WCE aren't easy beats. With a bit of fire in the belly from that 1st quarter I'm feeling less MFCSS around the fixture. I'll be in the crowd

Forgot about McAdam. Presuming he plays tomorrow night and plays reasonably well in the VFL he HAS to come in and play in Perth. Our forward line is screaming out for an 'X factor' and this bloke could well be the answer! I'll be watching with interest.

I agree. He was great tonight. Developing at a nice and steady rate. Full game against Eagles could do wonders for his confidence.

[Lexinator 1,741]

No disrespect to Eagles, as they've improved, but need to blow out a few cobwebs. Reverted to bombing it in too much tonight and connection moving the ball was very stifled. Good chance to stamp down on how we want to play heading into the 2nd half of the season. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,639]

It's a gimme game in the scheme of things

Regulation win

Hopefully we use it to get the forward line clicking because... well we all know

I really like JVR having a crack in the ruck, but surely it's time we bring in Fullerton as a proper back up. JVR was torn apart by Pittonet and De Koning whenever Max went off. 

In: Fullerton, McAdam (if fit)

Out: Turner (unlucky but has now played two average games in a row), Billings (poor recent form although he had a good last quarter).

[binman 44,099]

No change.

JVR is a better ruck then Fullarton.

The commentary on here with people thinking Fullarton is actually a ruckman of so far off the mark. He's literally a 200cm forward flanker that tries to attempt a few hitouts every now and then.

If you think Fullarton would have made any difference as a 2nd hand ruckman then you would have been in for a shock.

this

or mcadam for chandler, who looks very proppy on that knee

[monoccular 17,607]

Let's see who does what at Casey.  No glaringly obvious changes to me

IMO Billings is still NQR decision making and disposal - does AMW fill his role?

McAdam is an interesting one - pulled out sick I believe early in Casey's last game.  Has he recovered and can he play a full and good game Saturday?

PS - wwsw ⬆️ prodded my tired and frustrated brain - Chandler is looking NQR too.  Is he fit or carrying an injury?  McAdam could fill that role if fit.

me too ... perhaps we say hi F2F

 

please DM 

[titan_uranus 25,050]

Not sure Turner is the answer but not sure we have any better options available. 

Ditto Billings. 

Probably no change at this stage.

I’d swap Woey and Billings so Billings is sub. 

[DeeSpencer 26,091]

FB: McVee May McDonald
HB: Howes Lever Bowey
C: Billings  Rivers Windsor
HF: Langdon Petty Tracc
FF: Pickett JVR Fritsch
Foll: Gawn Oliver Viney
Int: Sparrow, ANB, Woey, Chandler
S: Turner

Let's stick with Langdon and Tracc forward, both gave us something different and try Rivers on ball for a good spurt.

That means Woey in down back, Billings on the wing.

I'm hardly a Billings fan, but he had 16 disposals in the second half on the wing and some of them were at least fine. 

Disco back to sub because we don't need as much height with Tracc forward, and we need speed to pressure.

No one else on here seemingly agrees with me but if we are fair dinkum we need to think about dropping Fritsch if he doesn't start doing some more team first stuff from the first bounce. Lead up at the kicker every now and then and have a crack with the ball on the deck. If they made him sub I'd be ecstatic. 

[layzie 34,114]

I think Woey's cameo warrants a recall.

can't see a 'tall' being used a sub

fritsch is not getting dropped, nor played as a sub

rivers stays down back for mine, and neal-bullen plays more midfield time - he was excellent in the square and around stoppages in the second half

ditto sparrow

Billings better make sure the vest fits

Fritsch sub!

Out: JVR, Rivers, Woey

Don't need these kids getting any ideas about sunnier climates.
