I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see Fullarton come in for the two remaining games and JvR played forward for 100% of both games.

Fullarton ain't no ruck, doesn't like contact. He's a forward only.

Casey didn’t play last week, maybe that had something to do with no Jeffo. 
Next week might be different.

Yes at least they are all travelling up to Gold Coast together it will be good for the full list to spend some travel and game day time together.

Has anyone got any energy left to complain about the team selections this week?

Don't  get me started ...

Chris isn't the sharpest tool in the shed at the best of times.

Perhaps Chris is, perhaps Chris is not. One thing that appeals is to replace the doorman - change can be as good as a holiday. Maybe, in 2025, it would be a good offering for Badloss, who really needs to see the other side. 


Honestly the melts over Jefferson not getting selected, is worth him not getting selected.

Don’t think anyone has overreacted. Our season is done, what harm comes from playing him? It’s hardly Watts on QB all over again.

Have you done a welfare check on @picket fence

 

Hopefully Jeffo and Brown are late changes as emergencies. 
 

It’s the perfect time to blood a couple of players. 
 

Disappointed with selection. Change and review does not need to wait until seasons end.

Very wet start to the week in the GC however come Saturday, beautiful and 27°. Be nice to beat the Suns on a ground they have dominated at this season.

Understatement 

we’ve had 250mm down Bangalow way.

Listened to Dwanes world the other day did anyone else catch Chris from Camberwells take?? He reckons Goody will be gone by seasons end. Now I know everyone has an opinion but for some reason I have a sneaky suspicion that he could be onto something here!

Is it available online? I’m not in melb so can’t listen. I’m happy to go through the torture of listening to Dwayne just for Chris

 I live 10 mins from the ground and it’s been very wet but drying up very quickly as well as warming up.

Match committee meeting probably took all of 30 seconds this week judging by those changes.

Match committee is only Goodwin these days 

Yes, Chris from Camberwell has called twice this week on Monday and Wednesday and he didn't hold back. Unfortunately Dwayne Russell gives Chris from Camberwell the royal treatment and gives him plenty of airtime and encouragement whenever he calls. 

I don't really take much notice what he says but unfortunately the texters gives Dwayne plenty of encouragement to hear from him again soon.

Oh yes, Chris from Camberwell is definitely someone I suggest you listen to. He is not at all unhinged. 

Neither are any of us🤪


Disappointing not to see Woey or Brown selected.

Yep, very warm and humid up here after some decent rain. 28 degrees on Saturday so you visitors ensure the summer gear is packed and tell the players to put plenty of sunscreen on.

This has been a horrible season. We have players out and the team we play get players back. Touk (nearly their best player) back for Suns which will help them in the middle. Then the weather turns against us. Be a tough game me thinks.

Chris has been banging on about our lack of a "first rover" all season. Which kinda gives you an idea of where he's at. And his tortured mispronunciation of our players names is something to behold.

If he didn't follow my club I'd think he was bloody hysterical. But he does. I also think he mentioned not renewing his membership should major upheaval not take place in the off season so Chris, while probably a lovely old fella, can G&GF.

Wow one change Bowey in Oliver out. 

@picket fence is going to have a heart attack!!!!

Not the only one.  Our season is over, time to give the kids a run and see how they look at the top level.  GC have only lost once at home this year, so it's not like it's a game we expect to win.  Jefferson has more than earned a call-up.

This is part of the reason we've stagnated as a club and many no longer taking much interest imv.

Simon's selections have, on many occasions this season, been mind bogglingly more of the same olds that don't offer up much in terms of any weapons that will bother an oppo or impact in some way on match day.

Drop ANB

Make a statement

wash your mouth out

Why was bowey out of the team to begin with? Was he injured or been dropped?

I think the past few weeks I stopped paying attention to selections

Illness 

I’ll put my hand up explaining my excuse RN 

“I don’t want to go or watch atm” 

I may watch the start to see if McVee plays mid-field. My only point of interest for Saturday arvo.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
