Lever for Tomlinson.

McAdam's been underwhelming but at least he'll try to chase and tackle. We simply can't cop Fritsch's ongoing efforts and whatever that disaster was on Saturday night. Seriously, why keep tolerating such below par efforts in the hope they change rather than do something proactice?

AMW for whom? Bowey? Howes? Salem? They all have to be options. Or play him as sub. Kynan Brown can go back to Casey and push his case for a full game when he's more ready.

Agree with all your points except the last. You cannot debut a guy as sub who is a father / son and passionate demon supporter, bring him on with 8 minutes to go, busts his [censored] unlike some in the team and lays a game saving tackle and then send him back to Casey. I know our player management / selection has been questionable but that would be a new low.

    Howes out - Lever in 

    Chandler out - ANW in 

    surely Chandler can’t keep underperforming for 10 weeks and keep getting a game 

    He’s not underperforming. He’s the foundation of our forward half pressure. 

    Plenty on here bemoan perceived lack of effort or care. Chandler’s not hitting the scoreboard as much as we’d like but he’s bringing the effort and intensity.

    Correct. Had 8 tackles and a goal on the weekend.

    Lever back helps

    cant drop Windsor

    Tomlinson likely out

    I’d like to see AMW get a game…….who goes out?

    I'm starting to feel my pregame confidence returning.

    None of the Caey players will come in on the back of a five-day break unless it's as the sub.

    My guess is Lever in and Tommo out. I could also see another out with Hunter/Hore in as sub.

    Good point I hadn’t thought of that. Would be silly to bring someone in from Casey off a 5 day break unless absolutely necessary.

    Ridiculous statement. Do you actually follow what's happening ? Hunter has been struggling with a calf & will play for Casey & Hore is still injured.

    And was our second highest pressure player. Critically important - if we’re any chance this week or for the rest of the season, we need our pressure game to be on point.

    The woes are in the midfield. Berry will probably go to Clarry, I think we should send ANB to Neale a la the Nick Daicos tag, that leaves Viney head to head with Dunkley and Rivers head to head with McCluggage.  The damage may be able to be limited somewhat.

    Honestly mate, get a grip. 

    The fact that Oliver is even playing tells you the culture is broken. If you watched him tonight - really watched him, he behaved like a petulant little kid. I don't care that he can't shake a tag. North were a man down simply because Clarry is who he is. 

    But there was a centre bounce in the 3rd where Claz genuinely ignored the entire contest just to beeline someone and take them out. Imagine one of your three centre bounce mids not even watching the game. His head was NOWHERE NEAR the game, his team or his role. Nowhere near it.  

     

    This is pretty funny.

    Max said that Clarry had a hard tag and was going to other north players to create an opening for Viney.

    You give the exact example that Max provides and bag him out. 

    Your inability to read the play even after its been explained to you is alarming.

    You are a donkey.

    Thanks champ! I misread Hore as being available but as they didn't pull anyone out of the Casey game last week, it's highly unlikely a player will come from there unless they want to risk them as a sub. As I posted Tommo out Lever in, with the rest being conceivable but less likely. Your opinion is that it is not. My opinion is that it is. That's why we're all here. Jog on.

    Unless he is the sub - AMW well qualified now to play at either end.

    I think this is the week we can play Lever, Tommo, Tmac and May.

    Brisbane have a lot of quality talls

    Can Oliver just go straight to Neale and hound the F out of him as well as racking up 25 touches himself?

    Why not send Clarry to HF and upset the balance of Lions midfield group? They’d be planning for Clarry so give them something that they may not be ready for.
     

    If Berry goes with him to the Forward line then someone has to come out of there. Where do they play? Just need a bit of magnet movement to create some confusion for the Lions

    Berry just goes to Viney imo.

    He won't bother following him forward as he isn't good up there.

    That's clever thinking & an option that should be used more often. Clarry will be tagged so get him to stick to Neale like a limpet. It'll throw the Lions planning out.

    He may do. But then you move. Larry back in and keep Berry guessing . Ultimately creating a mismatch and not allowing him to settle and get into the game. 
     

    Just cannot go into the game thinking Clarry will shake the tag. The coaching panel have to do some planning to help him have a bigger impact. 

     

    Captain’s run at the Gabba on Thursday afternoon. 3:30 - 4:30

    It’s an open session.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
