I too think Pup is unlucky to have been dropped. He was given 10 minutes and could not have done more in that time. (His kick after the free is overlooked a lot: it was a perfect kick that set it up so only Petty could mark it).  I can only suspect that they thought: pick him as sub, let him have a taste to see the pace and toughness of senior football, and then he can go back to Casey and work with that knowledge.

    Woewodin in off a very average vfl game, tomlinson still in with Lever. Strange selections.

    First time seeing Jefferson as an emergency which is nice.

    Are we playing funny buggers and springing a late change?

    Kynan is royally stiff to be dropped. Comes on for ten minutes, shows intensity and lays a game winning tackle. Team selection is beyond a joke these days.

    Knowing Simon, we will make Wowey sub for the millionth time and then drop him after 5 minutes of footy.

    Who the hell is going to play on Cameron, Ah Chee, Lohmann, Morris. They have two talls and a bunch of smalls and we have 4 key backs and 2 key backs playing forward.

    woey 2.0's lack of game time in the second half of the vfl may be explained that the plan was always to bring him in as a bigger body than pup brown vs the bears

    i don't particularly like the lack of reward for result, but i can understand it

    amw for salem makes sense given the latter's injury and the desire to leave rivers as a midfielder

    Feel for K Brown, bit stiff being omitted after 10 minutes, can only imagine they wanted him getting more playing time in the 2s as opposed to being sub again. Hopefully we see him back in for the eagles game.

    It honestly can only make sense if it was predetermined that Brown was only ever playing vs North and not vs Brisbane.

    How could anyone have looked him in the eye and said “you didn’t quite do enough” after his debut?

    A lot of angst among MFC supporters about Kynan Brown getting left out this week.

    I'm just surmising here, but Pup has not really played for 3 weeks. (He was carry over emergency against Collingwood. Then we had a bye. Then he was the sub against North.) Maybe Goody thought it was better for him to have a full game at Casey instead of playing as sub again tomorrow night.

    Pup will be back.

    This is probably correct, but honestly the optics are terrible. There was no rush to debut Brown. They could have debuted AMW last week who has had great form at Casey all year and is far more developed than Brown. 
    To debut him as sub was poor, to then drop him when he showed plenty in the 8 minutes he was on the ground, is worse. 
     

    Poor foresight and management. It’s not as if we didn’t know the schedule of games for both teams.

    Realistic summary. How could they play him this week after those last few weeks. He'll find a spot in time but not yet.

    Lots of low level thinking on here at times

    This sounds right, but he could have played on last Sunday as well if that’s what they were thinking.

    With Salo’s form it’s actually not a huge loss. He’s also looked really slow of late.

    Payne out for them is a big bonus. He played like Glen Jakovich last time

    Not sure about May, Lever, TMac and Tomlinson all in the side. 

    Are we planning on TMac or Tomlinson playing forward? Or May or Lever playing small? 

    Not a fan of Brown being dropped after 10 minutes of game time and I’d prefer we don’t make AMW sub, so presumably Woey cops it again.

    Maybe May will take Cameron again. He has done that in the past.

    The kids are getting treated so poorly at selection. How can any of these young guys begin to build confidence without any kind of faith from the coaching staff and a decent run at it. Pathetic.

    Debut Kynan in Melb near family

    Debut AMW in Bris, closer to Darwin and his family.

    Any kid would take 10 minutes in their first match, and to deliver a game saving tackle to boot!  Neither AMW or Pup are of a Harley Reid level demanding a full run, so we should trust the club is using these moments to build lads on the edge of a career into having the best chance of having one. Long term development

    Everyone on here dusting off the gallows without considering for even a nanosecond that there might be reasons for Pup’s omission, reasons about which we know nothing.

    Does anyone really believe that the Club told him he’s not good enough etc.? Seriously??????! People can hate Goody all they like but please pick valid reasons for today's bash-fest coz I don’t think this is one of them.

    He is in Brisbane with the squad.

      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.

    • 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?
