Lever is listed on the ground but isn't listed as an "in". I'm confused. Shouldn't be listed as an inclusion?

    Spargo broken scapula. I broke my right scap in a bike stack. It’s super hard to brake as it’s covered in muscle. Must’ve been a big whack.

    There were two ...just sayin ' 😉

    TMac not included confirms that he was indeed omitted last week, as per team selection list at the time.

    He was not "rested". He was dropped.

    I tend to agree.

    They don't want to get this path wrong.

    You need physicality in your team and on every line, he brings that in spades.

    Team orientated, selfless and can knock a few skittles down when the occasion arises.

    His confidence will continue to grow and you never know he might bob up and take a couple of towering grabs and kick a couple of snags in the accompanying months.

    Agreed. I would certainly like to see him in our team against pies. I'm not saying AJ is an enforcer but he could be if required. It's been a while since we have had players that dish a bit out. So he needs to play against the Saints.

    Jvr is probably a better choice but AJ isn't just there for his looks and marking ability.

    Vineys always dependable to stick up for his mates and Melksham certainly doesn't lack ticker.

    So if Viney plays forward it would make defenders very nervous.

    I'm tired of seeing Cwood rough us up. Time to give a bit back and see how they like it.

    AJ is certainly the bloke that could do it. I think he may be a gentle giant but only a fool would test him.

    Team selection this week proves one thing

    That I myself have NFI of what’s going on.

    It’s well past my logic. Go Dee’s

    What’s so hard to understand about this week’s extended squad?

    Perhaps, Adams in the squad rather than JMAC. JMAC was unlucky on form to be dropped.

    Admittedly T Mac was a bit stiff to get omitted, but we swapped Lever for T Mac. A tall for a tall. Maybe it’s a sign Adams is getting a little closer, competition for spots is healthy.

    This is very easy to pick. Viney in for Spargo. That’s it.

    Bench will be Turner McVee Rivers and AJ.

    Sharp sub, or if they want to get a full game into him at Casey, Laurie a sub smokey.

    I'm guessing Adams is back up for Lever in case he doesn't get up.

    So does tom mcdonald play for casey this week?

    Unless he's injured, yes. Not an emergency.

    He's ahead of Adams, but you can't have guys not playing each week because they're emergency, so Tom drops back to at least keep up his match fitness.

    How could Sharp NOT be in the starting 22?? If he aint the sub and Laurie gets a gig... selection is STUFFED!

    I reckon the entire channel 7 team will be there as it is a designated CH 7 game.

    The Foxtel calling team till be calling from a studio aside from the designated boundary rider who will be at the game.

    Apparently the callers at the studio have access to vision that the viewer doesn't while they're watching the game live.

    Garry Lyon admitted on radio earlier this year that he hadn’t appreciated how good Tom Barrass was until he saw him live, as he’d only seen him on TV when he played in Perth.

    Studio-based commentary is sub-standard. Foxtel know that but don’t care.

    That’s right, bing. He said he was dropped and he knows he’s gonna have to work hard to get to his 250th this year.

    Because he’s shown next to nothing when he’s played from the start mate.

    His energy shines through when he comes on for a quarter when the opposition’s tiring.

      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.

      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?
