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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
