PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

[Demonland 69,738]

The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

[adonski 10,523]

Only one man can save us

[Demongirl35 947]

Out: brown lever billing

in: Roo, k.brown and Fullerton 

max needs a chop out and roo needs to stay forward. 

send petty back to defence.

Give Verral, sestan,adams or Jefferson a go.. I don’t even care at this stage.

Did anyone watch the Casey game ? Seriously only Sestan and Moniz-Wakefield would be capable.  Both deserve a game. 
 

outs.  Brown again, Petty, Billings, Lever (concussion) Chandler (knee) 

in.  JVR.  Langdon.  Sestan. AMW.  Tomlinson. 

[BDA 21,981]

Billings has been very poor. Howes was very weak tonight. 

not sure you comes in though. the cupboard seems bare.

Shades of Jack Watts debuting against the Pies. 
 

Let’s not kill this poor kid because we are in panic mode.

Agreed. Already playing a lot of kids; let’s not throw them all in.

Outs look good. McAdam could go too 

[whatwhat say what 21,798]

Half the Casey regulars didn’t play cos they were carry over emergencies for the AFL game

Those that did play at Casey are, presumably, further back in the pack 

OUT: Lever, Billings, Sparrow, B Brown
IN: JVR, Langdon, Fullarton, Tholstrup

Petty to return to defence where he’s clearly more comfortable

I somehow doubt that the above will happen tho

[Bates Mate 4,382]

Is Marty hore available? straight swap for lever 

[Bang Bang Bang 5,736]

I think we need to hedge our bets a little. It’s possible 2021 is all we’re gonna get, or it’s possible we might still be in the flag race. It’s hard to say at 6-4 in May.

So I would be in favor of cutting clear deadwood like Billings who won’t get a kick in September anyway, for someone like Laurie or Sestan. 
Woey Jr was one I thought might not be up to it but he’s starting to flourish with opportunity. 
Ben Brown is another who needs to go, but the cupboard is a little bare. Absolutely not to Jeffo coming in lol, I have faith in him but it’s too soon.

Tomlinson one and done for Lever. 

Otherwise I think Goody has to roll with the same guys and hope we can peak later in the year or pinch one in an open year. 

[DeeSpencer 24,412]

Out: Lever, BBB, Billings. (Howes sub)

In: JVR, Fullarton, Langdon

FB: McVee May McDonald
HB: Rivers Petty Woey
C: Langdon Oliver Windsor 
HF: Chandler  Fullarton Viney 
FF: McAdam JVR Pickett 
Foll: Gawn ANB  Salem
Int: Bowey , Sparrow, Fritsch, Petracca
S: Howes

Probably have to give Petty the chance down back, he at least had a go in the ruck.

Which means Fullarton I guess??

Seen enough of BBB, he’s on a hiding to nothing but gave nothing. Seen more than enough of Billings.

Time to reward Woey’s consistent effort with a full game, could be half back for Howes, could be wing with Langdon forward more.

Swing the axe. 

Out: Billings, BBB, Petty, Lever

In: Competitors.

[Demon Jack 6,710]

IN: JVR, Tomlinson, Langdon

OUT: Brown, Lever, Billings

Wouldn't be surprised if we also see Tholstrup back in the side either. Maybe even a Sestan debut.

Laurie? 🤣 he's genuinely a worse version of Billings.

[titan_uranus 24,425]

Probably only two things for sure.

Lever misses due to concussion.

At least one of Brown and Petty is dropped/moved out of the forward line (they combined for 1.2 from 8 disposals and 3 marks. That's not good enough for one of them on their own, let alone both of them).

Presumably JVR replaces the dropped/moved key forward. Tomlinson or Petty for Lever you'd think.

We don’t know that for sure. He’s barely had an extended opportunity. At worst he’s rubbish, like Billings is anyway, and at best he might find himself like Taj has done. 

[whatwhat say what 21,798]

If we’re going to play Laurie is has to be as a mid in place of Sparrow

He can’t be much worse of an option

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,291]

Outs: BBB, Lever, Billings

Ins: JVR, Tomlinson, Langdon

Woewodin to play a full game. 
 

the midfield really need a complete rocket up the proverbial ! Are we plying as Narrm again? We never win as Narrm. 

[layzie 32,378]

Why send Jefferson to the slaughterhouse?

[David-Demon 545]

OUT: BBB   should never get another game.

        Lever (concussion)

       Woey.

IN:  Tomlinson

      JVR

      Langdon

 

 

Somehow or other Fullerton needs to be also blooded... dunno how but when I can't even give a 6.5.4.3 vote for that pathetic effort I am in a quandry.
