    Salem and bowey the obvious candidates to come in. Would love for Tholstrup and AMW to retain their spots. Await the vfl game but suspect only Bill and Jefferson the other possible candidates.

    AMW did great imo. Also like the tall backline option for WCE with Oscar, Darling and G-Train 2.0. 

    Jeffo for Petty if his ankle doesn't get up. Salem in, but not totally sure who for

    Jefferson has to play. Time to give him a taste of the big time and build for a big year next season.

    Tholstrup and AMW must play for the remainder of the season. Both showed plenty tonight and deserve time in the seniors to develop.

    Kynan probably deserves a full game but will likely be dropped for either Bowey or Salem pending their respective niggles. 

    Demonland will be on full Jefferson watch tomorrow.

    All eyes on Casey. 3 goals + or 8+ marks and Jefferson surely comes in. 

    Petty let us down big time in front of goals, and whilst he's finding a small amount of form, he's still not playing well.

    No interest in seeing Bowey back without a run at Casey. He has been fumbly, poor and somehow undroppable.

    Out: Petty, Tomlinson (unlucky but not sure we need 4 talls for West Coast)

    In: Jefferson, Salem if fit or Brown for a full game and McAdam to sub.

    Salem will come in probably for Tomlinson although the defence were good tonight, 
    Brown likely to go back to the VFL

    Petty rolled an ankle should get up

    Absolutely. 8-7 means we are still in the season. 8 games left and need to win 5 of them.  It's not over.

    Surely they can’t drop Moniz or Tholstrup after tonight’s efforts.

    Therefore : Salem in for Woewodin.

    K. Brown in the 22

    Windsor sub

    Would really like to see Sestan and Fullarton ( for Chandler and either one of Turner or Petty ) but it looks like their cards have been stamped, at least for this year.

    Surely Monners and Brown to stay in. 
    Great opportunity to play Jeffo. 
    And FFS don’t start Brown as sub

    It’s a combination of being 8-7 and how we played tonight.

    If this is what we bring for the rest of the year, rather than the football of our previous 6 weeks, then our season is alive. The fixture is challenging but 6 games in Melbourne, 5 at the G, and some 8-point games where wins can help bring challengers for the top 8 down (Essendon, GWS, Port, GC).

    The only change I would make to the side is Petty out injured / managed for Fullerton.

    We need to first have a look at Fullerton and see what he looks like in the team, we cannot continue to use JVR in the ruck. Starting to really hit his straps up forward and we need to find a way to keep him down there. Like the effort and intensity I saw from the kids need to keep playing them. Kynan needs a proper run, not two cameos. West Coast is as good a team as any to give him that proper opportunity.

    Jefferson next cab off the rank.

    I’d like to see Pup have a full game tagging Reid. Shoulder to shoulder with him. He has the speed and mongrel to take him out of the game.

    Add salo and bowey to that team and it looks a lot stronger.

    I can't see amw or kolt getting dropped. 

    Perhaps woey and pup come out and amw is the sub.

    Being realistic we cannot be considered serious contenders this year. (Sydney is and perhaps any one that ends up top four at season end).  
    Strange game this. I felt gutted by last week’s win, but gained some hope with this week’s loss. 
    Hoping that we can somehow make the finals. Not caring or thinking about higher draft picks if we finish lower. 
    Just want to see us play finals. You got to be in it to win it (but refer to my first sentence). It is a long off season. GO DEES!

    Sorry, did you not see Reid fending off Petracca and Oliver? Brown has some courage and tackled Larkey but this would be a bloodbath. He's tiny.

    Woey and Pup out, Salem and Bowey in.

    We gunna win.

     

    Tommo needs to stay in with an Eagles fwd line of Darling, Allen and Waterman. Lever can't play on either of them, more likely to play on Cripps

    For mine, an elimination final and a shot as underdogs to get the finals monkey off our back is worth playing for, and a finals win from here is a fantastic result all things considered.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      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.
