Good ins I reckon.

Pickett, Windsor and Spargo are all probably in our top five kicks and Turner player a blinder in the VFL.

Happy 100th to Spargs as well!

    If only Captain Parmenter were in the side.

    Four changes, so we can add Sergeant O’Rouke, Corporal Agarn and Chief Wild Eagle too.

    Fritta very lucky - last chance to impact the scoreboard or back to the magoos (if Goody has any selection integrity)

    What a gutless team selection, same old players get dropped

    MAKE A STATEMENT GOODWIN

    How can Fritsch still be getting a game, he was terrible last year and absolutely woeful in the 3 games so far this year, his body language is infecting the whole team.

    The poor buggers confidence is shot and would probably really benefit with some pressure off at Casey.

    Billings, Howes & Johnson will be back in in a couple of weeks along with Woey, where as Laurie will continue good form at Casey & never get a look in other than a sub. Why in Gods name was he given a 3 year contract & then not given a chance!!

    Goodwin once upon a time wouldn't play Fritsch as a forward even though we were screaming for it. Now we can't get him to get Fritsch out of the forward line even though he isn't even Coldstream seconds level at the moment.

    There's been plenty of bigger upsets than us winning this but my jaw will dislocate in shock if it happens.

    Laurie should be in for Spargo. Just don’t understand why players get a free run at playing seniors with little footy behind them. Laurie deserves a solid run at it.

    Laurie must be wondering what he has to do to get a game but Henderson and Sharp walk into the team and aren't playing very well

    We look a lot better on paper.

    Good changes overall, Billing Howes, AJ have been poor and deserve to be dropped

    Pace, skill and youth come in

    Add Lever, McVee, Kolt and Lindsay and drop the likes of Sharp, Hendo and we start to look pretty good

    I agree he has been down on form and has put in some poor efforts. But he kicked 41.23 in a poor team last year, so that is not terrible

    He finally started to get involved last week with 15 touches and 8 scoring involvements so to drop him would be not the best move for the team. Clearly guys like AJ were worse

    I agree on Laurie though

    Excuse my ignorance but am i correcting in thinking Spargo is replacing Billings?

    Different positions, different kinds of players. It would be Laurie for Sparrow, and doubt that’s happening anytime soon.

    True but I reckon Laurie could play at HF or small fwd or even wing. He bring better skills than Sharp

    Sparrow has been one of our few decent players this year so agree he won't be dropped

    Oliver on the pine. Surprising. I would have thought Petracca or Viney before him

    Wait do people think that these announced team lineup positions are actually the definite positions they start at on the day/night? Its just slapped together really. I doubt Sparrow starts on a wing either...

    Looks like Fritta has called Goody's bluff, he still getting a game in the seniors. A reason we are playing so badly is that the players have lost respect for the coach. Perhaps our CEO should put Goody on notice in the media.

    Melbourne to win by 24 pts ( in an alternative world) .Kangaroos to win by 23 pts.

    I’m driving down to Kitty-litter Park tomorrow with a couple of Geelong supporting mates. Banking on a win so I don’t have to hear their dribble on the way back.

    Spargo, Melksham and Salem. All we need is Lever to return and Goody will have all his favourites back together.

    Yeah, but I think Melksham is a good favourite. I expect him to lead the forward line with his verbal messages. Hope he finds form too.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      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?
