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.

    Please lose this. 
    It will surely be the final nail


    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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? 

     

    Trac will definitely be a couple of weeks out

    Kolt in - and tell him to tackle everything in sight 

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
