Any worries about Salem? Goodwin said he was subbed off after some knee soreness I think. He looked a bit proppy in the third. 

his going off and being subbed out was a huge part of us dropping our bundle

rivers went back to cover for him and our midfield got pantsed for the remainder of the game

    I think Windsor has to go. Couldn’t even execute basic handballs last night. Needs a rest.

    Also AnB must tag Zorko and we need Petty to play a defensive forward role on Andrews. If we can nullify those two we might get a look in.

    Yep agree but you may have forgotten their mids. They are miles in front ours and give good service to their forwards who are looking dangerous even Hipwood.

    Why?

     Cause he has stuck fat with Oetty stinking up the whole joint this year. This is why selection integrity is crucial.

     

    If Oliver got grumpy with his tag on Saturday get ready for Jarrod Berry’s attention

    Oliver hates him too after the eye gouge in the 2022 SF.

    Can't see this ending up in anything other than a 40+ point lions win, hope I am wrong however.

    As I mentioned in the non MFC thread today, how is it that Brisbane keep drafting and successfully blooding goal kicking forwards, and now have 2 more in Lohmann and Morris that are now established in their best 22.

    They got Danniher from Essendon and Hipwood out of the academy.

    I agree - 2 teams going opposite directions right now.  Swans look unstoppable however if Brisbane get back to their best they could take them on GF day

    Also think Carlton and Collingwood could account for Sydney on GF day, but that's for another thread.


    We have plenty of tickets available for this match. A number of folks who’d registered interest in tickets have informed us they can’t/won’t attend.

    We sit behind the goals in section 16/17, Wellington Rd end (Gate 8). No opposition colours in our bay. Dees only. 👍🏽

    We can win if we win the centre clearance (easier said than done against Brisbane but crucial at the GABBA) and kick straight.

    I think our structure would look better with Turner in defence and TMac forward.

    Tomlinson does not have a great match up even if Lever fails to get up.

    Oliver to be rested for the remainder of this year

    Come at me....

    I'm not sure that would be good for his mental health - keep him active and involved. Boredom and disengagement can be toxic.

    Agree and I'm not trying to be obtuse with my suggestion, or controversial

    I wonder if he could be in the coaches' box as he gets his mind and body right?

    2025, with all the stars aligning, we'll have The Trac back, and a rejuvenated Clayton?

    Yep I agree chook, I still think we'd be better running him as sub for a while and give some youngsters a crack first.

    Having him come on midway through the third as an impact player might be a better way to manage his fitness levels for the moment. Might be a better way to reduce his frustration with the heavy tags flright from the start of games too.

    Can't See it happening though.

    Can't see him being dropped either with Tracc out now.

    He is one of the best midfielders I've ever seen. God I hope he gets back to his best somehow and he's still wearing our jumper.

    A wicked problem for everyone at the club right now

    He can remain active and involved at Casey. Not sure why he is playing tbh, he is not helping in anyway.

    Not playing - just training and doing extra sessions, that he has to pay for

    I'm sure he can afford it

     

    Out Salem injured and Howes

    in Lever Moniz Wakefield

    No way - Howes, Tholstrup, Turner, Brown - these guys need to play every game this year, to see if they're going to make it

    It's about 2-3 year planning now....2024 is cooked

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
