Demonland 74,430 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out? 3
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 Surely it's about time to give Jeffo a shot for the last run of games home? No change means more of the same, which clearly isn't our future hope 5 1
Nicko 1,390 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 After 24 tackles, 27 disposals, 11 clearances and a goal for Casey on the weekend do we reward K. BROWN with a game against the giants? Those sorta numbers force him into the team, don’t they?? 18 1 1 4
WERRIDEE 5,638 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 This is it lose and our season is over. Win and we are back in with a shot. Let's hope Gawn makes a massive difference because we were putrid today. We are Freo's [censored]. In Gawn and K.Brown out Tholstrup, Billings 1

In Gawn and K.Brown out Tholstrup, Billings Thought Tholstrup being subbed out was harsh, took the game on. Brings energy. I liked that he was so upset about it too. Wouldn’t want to see him dropped. Billings was ok. But doesn’t add enough intensity. Agree with your INs. I’d like to see Howes back too. OUT. Salem (inj?) Billings and someone else ?? 1

whatwhat say what 23,854 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 OUT: salem IN: gawn there's only one of other possibility, and that is brown replaces billings as the sub, or tholstrup in the selected side we need to win this one (obviously)

No change means more of the same, which clearly isn't our future hope Who are you dropping out of JVR, Petty and Turner to bring him in, bearing in mind Gawn is coming back too? Surely our focus has to be on the mids after what we just dished up? Given what I’m reading here and seeing on the stat sheet, Salem, Sparrow, Kolt and AMW would all be up for debate?
bluey 1,123 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 Out : Tholstrop, Chin, Bowey In: Gawn, Brown, Woewoedin
layzie 34,528 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 Yeah, selection should fix this right up.. 1 3
Pirlo 813 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 (edited) The season is too close for Goody to be too adventurous, I imagine. The team would benefit most from: Out: Bowey, Billings, Sparrow, In: Howes, Gawn, K.Brown With Tholstrup moving to sub after a very poor game. A reprieve for Tholstrup and Bowey to sub if Salem is injured. I expect we'll go for: Out: Billings, AMW/Salem* In: Gawn, K.Brown Edited July 21, 2024 by Pirlo 1

He's tracking better than before, but he needs to put up numbers consistently. Miserable rainy day though, in fairness. We were always going to have bad days with the squad as it is. There's not a single player in the reserves who will come in and 'fix' us. No use throwing the baby out with the bath water. Plenty to criticise Goodwin about, but there's been plenty of change this season. 1

Plenty to criticise Goodwin about, but there's been plenty of change this season. Yes, I watched the second half of the vfl game. The conditions didn't suit Jefferson at all, the ground was barely playable, but he's had a decent previous month. I don't believe selecting him will fix us, nor that blooding him is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Of course, we don't know the inner workings of selection committee, but he must be close. In fact someone on here quoted Choco as saying he's close. Picket Fence spoke with Jeffo at the G a couple of weeks ago and his spirits were very high. There's 5 games to go before finals. Our chances of playing beyond that are borderline at best. Top 4 is now a pipedream. Jefferson's time is soon, I hope they give him a go. Edited July 21, 2024 by Moonshadow

If Jefferson can bring energy and a goal or even two… why not 1 1

Ungarieboy 457 Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 Teams are starting to expose Boweys lack of height in the backs, but against GWS this shouldnt be a problen - so he gets a reprieve. What GWS had is speed and in form Hogan. Salem should play in the midfield or be given a rest. We have to tag Tom Green (note they ate not a high inside 50 team, so restricting Green is a must). On a brighter side, they wouldn't have a clue who Bedford should go and tag!!!!! 1
