PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

[Demonland 73,465]

After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?

[Abyssal 470]

Please let’s see Sestan, Tholstrup and Fullarton.

Surely Petty has to be omitted on form.

Turner, Billings, Laurie don’t look up to it.

Chandler, Sparrow, Oliver and Fritsch have unsatisfactory and should be dropped even just to make a statement but the cupboards bare so they’ll stay in.

 

[adonski 12,903]

IN: AMW, Tholstrup, Sestan, Woewodin
OUT: Who cares

Care factor. Zero

[GCDee 3,199]

Please lose this. 
It will surely be the final nail

[Pirlo 813]

I dread the inevitable dropping of Howes, Laurie and Turner for Woey, McAdam & B.Brown whilst the likes of Petty, Sparrow, Bowey etc get away with the bare minimum as always.

[Lexinator 1,771]

If Roos bring that same pressure against Eagles, they are a genuine sniff. 

Out: Billings, Laurie, Turner.

In: Woewodin, McAdam, Tholstrup.

Go bit smaller for more forward half pressure given the foot skills are way off at the moment.

[bing181 9,411]

Tholstrup, and play him for the rest of the year. Time to make selections for the future rather than the present. Unfortunately.

Not sure that any other changes are more than rearranging the deck chairs.

[Nascent 9,320]

Not sure about the ins/outs, hopefully Petracca pulls up ok after the break.

If Lever isn't ready I would put Turner down back and consider bringing Fullarton in for fwd/ruck duties.

Tholstrup perhaps to get a recall. Does Casey have a game next week?

This disgraceful excuse for a support competition - no. Another bye.  A blight on player development. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,615]

Rebuild starts in round 15.

HB: Bowey McDonald Salem

C: Langdon Viney Windsor

HF: ANB Fritsch Tholstrup

FF: Laurie van Rooyen Fullarton

R: Gawn Oliver Rivers

I/C: Woewodin, Tomlinson, Sestan, McAdam

Sub: Turner

Those italicised should be on notice for playing totally within themselves since the bye. Petracca out maybe saves Sparrow, but I just can't put up with the lack of effort from the likes of him, Chandler and Petty every week. 

It does feel a bit silly throwing in Sestan, Fullarton and Tholstrup but there also isn't much choice unless we want to keep rewarding mediocrity.

Would like to see Tholstrup, Woey and AMW in the team next game.

Think it's worth testing Fullarton out against North, he was signed as back up.. but i'm sure he'd be doing Petty/Turner numbers in this team. Would keep JvR forward too.

Sestan must be getting closer - Does he have the tank? 

 

[DubDee 26,295]

Trac will definitely be a couple of weeks out

[Nicko 1,389]

Kolt in - and tell him to tackle everything in sight 

6 players who pulled on the MFC jumper today had zero tackles 

[dees189227 12,453]

I hink Lever said he'd be back after the bye.

Just play Woewodin and Koltyn for the rest of the year. Surely they couldn't do any worse than Laurie, Billings, Sparrow or Chandler at the moment

[Deebymistake 790]

Who is coming in the MCG gates to watch? 

[Bates Mate 4,511]

Petty , disco out or back to the backline 

One or more of the Casey forwards who have actually been drafted and played a lot of footy as a forward.

Jefferson, Luka, Fullerton , Brown can't be any worse.

I like my chances of securing a position in one of the MCC's dining room ballots

[SPC 3,571]

Gee Mays form is bad.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,315]

We'll beat Norf. 

[monoccular 17,642]

Surely Kolt, and Sestan, both big bodied but inexperienced, would both contribute more than Billings and Laurie, and we definitely need a big strong body to replace Petracca.

Even Luker Kentfield would probably outdo poor Petty who is just totally devoid of confidence - I know he won't get a debut probably this season but that is how low impact or tall forwards (JVR excepted) are at the moment.   

Fullarton, if he is ever going to be selected, must replace Petty and or Turner next round.

I should be able to get three bays to myself on level 4 Warne stand.

Definately playing injured. Saw him huddled over wincing on multiple occasions
