    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

    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??

    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

    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 ??

    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)

    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?

    Out : Tholstrop, Chin, Bowey

    In: Gawn, Brown, Woewoedin

    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

    Jefferson didn't do enough at Casey on the weekend. 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.

    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.

    Maybe drop Fritch.

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

    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!!!!!

      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?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
