Jeffo in, Petty goes back (assuming May misses).

McVee into the middle, Viney out.

    Viney looks really sore, will probably require surgery on his shoulder

    Oliver has 14 pins in his hand, will require surgery

    Gawn has his ankle/leg issue

    May has his back/ribs issue

    Get them all in for surgery/recovery early so that they are fit for the majority of the preseason. And give the AFL minutes to guys in the VFL to see what they have (Laurie, Jefferson, Fullarton, K Brown)

    Tonight was our last shot at '24.

    Results be damned, It's officially time to rest the older guys or anyone who isn't 100% and get some games into the kids.

    Play Jefferson and K Brown, that's all I really want.

    We all need to prepare for a blast from the media because it will be another very small crowd.

    Lingers and McVee will get rubbed out. May will miss too. 

    Get ready for a nice pantsing. I’m expecting a 10+ goal loss.

    Langdon probably gets a week for that but English dominates the last quarter.

    Bedford and Cameron put their opponents into next week and somehow play the next week.

    Try explaining that to someone new to the game.

    Use the next couple of weeks to rest a couple. Viney for a week and Clarry for a week. Try and be in as good as shape as possible for the filth in the last game.

    May obviously injured, feels like Gawn, Oliver and Viney are too.

    TMac's form has disintegrated in a fortnight.

    We've spent all year trying to force the square peg that is Petty into the round hole that is our forward line. I think that experiment can end. With May going out, put Petty back and accept that from now on he's a defender. He will have TMac's spot next year, most likely.

    If that means it's time to play Jefferson in the forward line, so be it.

    Oofa doofa. This is gonna be ugly. The crowd will be back to 2008-2013 levels and the performance could match it.

    I'm disappointed that he's such a confidence player after all these years.

    You could tell from very early on tonight he was thinking about last week.

    I think it might be time I'm afraid...

    Jeffo will only come in if one of the other talls goes out. Can't see them dropping anyone, in spite of anything, players like Petty and Turner need game time. So depends on May?

    That’s what I said - May out injured, Petty goes back, Jefferson comes in.

    Tom McDonald is ready for retirement.  He’s moving slower and getting outbodied.  Just hanging in. Has moments but is getting exposed too much. Goodwin had refused to play Tomlinson who surely walks out after getting overlooked again this year.

    Yes, exit interviews could be interesting unless he makes the decision himself. Would prefer TMac stayed, even if he plays the year out at Casey where he could bring a bit of experience. Can't see BBB or Schache going round again.

    I was all for him going around again two weeks ago, even after last week I thought he could go around one more time, but he's in his head already.

    I think he'll hang them up.

    Just want to see Jefferson and Laurie in for the remaining games. Not much else to get excited about for the remainder of this season.

    Time for the draft board to be opened up?

    Tomlinson, I believe, has been available for over a year. Nobody took a bite last year.

    Gawn will never agree to a rest, nor will Oliver or Viney.

    Tom controlled Hogan for the best part of 3/4's before a couple of good efforts by Jesse after a flood of supply. Had a shocker tonight but also got some of the roughest umpiring you'll ever see. Honestly, a few dropped marks paid and laughable frees against.

    He'll finish very highly in the B+F. If he's keen to play on someone will nab him. If we move him on it will only be because we've found another option and we want to stagger the McDonald/May coming off the list.

    Why would he be dropped for Tomlinson who would've given up just as many if not more contests tonight given the flood of supply.

    Disco in for May, not too worried about which end he or Petty plays.

    The big guns won't take a rest whilst we are still mathematically alive.

    Hore for Moniz-Wakefield please, we need some experience and steadiness down back.

    No interest in Jeffo this year unless really needed. He still doesn't have the body for AFL footy and won't touch it with no supply at all. Round 1 next year has to be the target.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
