    No Whelan and no Yze - they are best 22 players.

    At least Newton is in the emergencies. Could he come in for Neitz? They'll probably go for Yze.

    so its

    In : Pickett

    Out :Johnstone

    Big question is - Will Neitz be ready?

    Good to see that Miller will be getting another run at Sandy.

    At least newton will get his name in the footy record we should all take out the team page and frame it and put it on the wall.

    Brad Green said last night on 3AW that Neitz was 100% to NOT play.

    Newton in?

    On past ND form, Newton won't play. 1st gamers have to be named in the 18 don't they?

    Expect Yze to come in for Neitz. Good to see Newton has at least been named as an emergency - probably a reward for pretty good form at VFL level and to show he's not been forgotten.

    Either that or ND is half-pandering to Demonland :rolleyes:

    lol.

    If Yze wasn't fit I don't see why he'd be in the emergencies and thus I'm guessing he'll come in for Neitz if there's a late change.

    So we could see the oddity of Adem Yze being a last minute replacement for a player who was never going to play, whereas the week before

    he was replaced at the last minute and was never going to play. :blink:

    No, why would they???

    yze was named last week but was a late withdrawal...and he was out the 2 games before that.

    he had scans done on his groin to check for OP and apparently he had a mild case. Do you get the feeling they don't want to risk him but might if they have too? i reckon he'll play for the dees or not at all, and it wouldnt surprise me if he doesnt play at all.

    neitz out, newton in, yze rested, leaves 12 payers in the line up for sandy, perfect solution.

    Yes deanox, it's a safe bet that one of those will come true :lol:

    i mean, i dont think he will play for sandy after acting as an emergency.

    i dont think he is over his injury yet, and so they want to rest him, but if we need to call on him he will play. no point in playing at sandy though...

    Yeah i know, the wording just made me laugh.

    I have a theory that they have named Newton as an emergency so He doesnt spend all night working himself up thinking about playing. They will tell him on Friday that he will replace Neitz.

  • Quote

    in some ways there isn't that much pressure on the kid, i mean every newton lover here will either rave about the great game he has, or pass off a bad one as 'its just his first game,' he really can't lose.

    if you listen to channel 9, you'd beleive than brown hasn't played for two years at that the game tonight is on at telstra dome. do they do any research? that's a joke. even tony jones said it, a supposed 'afl buff'

    Yeah, it made me check to see if I was going to be the only one turning up to the MCG tonight. :lol:

    I am sure it was just one of his underlings making a right goose out of him. Sorry,, my mistake; a bigger than the goose he already is!!! :lol:

    I suspect the Yze, Newton decision might come down to the weather as well. I can't see Newton getting a game over Yze or Brown if it is going to be wet tonight.

    That said, my money is actually on Brown getting the nod. He was fit last week and was dropped in what the coach described as a very hard decision. Brown would add extra run and allow the likes of Holland, Bizzell or P Johnson to play key forward, depending on how match ups went at the other end of the ground.

    If Holland can't do the job on Richo then he will be used in the forward line rather than warming the bench all night. This will allow us the rotate 4 runners off the bench rather than three and will also stretch the Toigs short defence.

    But secretly I have my fingers crossed the ND hits his head today and calls Newton instead of Brown Dog.

    GO DEES

    No, why would they???

    I meant ND's past track record, not an AFL or MFC rule.

    Should have made that clearer

  • Quote

    obviously nobody told terry wallace that this was the 1 game a year to play the dud kingsley...ah well, not complaining!

    You will not believe how relieved I am about Can't Kicksley not playing!!!

    I still see a therapist about the trauma of all those Skilled Stadium debacles where Kingsley destroyed us :o

    while i agree it should be considered, im not sure it will happen. holland hasnt been thrown up forward this season much (maybe not even at all?), ND has seemed determined that he play back and he has sat on the pine at other times...

    Dutchy is there to negate...thats all. he been quite effective all year in this role.. he's a very strong boy !!

    • 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?
