I would guess it would have to be TMac's, unless we dropped a smaller defender to combat Naughton and Darcy more effectively? Baptism of fire for Adams, but glad he is finally getting a crack.

Tommy is listed... not on bench. Not him

For the life of me I've NFI why Campbell is on our list. He's older than Max, played 58 games at 4 clubs over 12 seasons, and has zero chance in being part of our next flag. AJ before TC every day.

If Max did his a serious injury, we’d have no mature 1st ruck cover

Pretty obvious need I would have thought

    Adams is great news!

    I wonder who misses from last week? May sounded like we want another tall down back... The defenders on the bench are McVee and part timers Windsor and Petty.

    Given we want McVee to re-sign It would be foolish to drop him 😢would it not 😭

    They might just drop Sharp and make McVee sub?

    Adams playing should be no surprise. Otherwise we'd be playing with only two tall defenders against a team with a tall forward line. Assuming we play 7 defenders as usual, the likely "out" would seem to be either McVee, because he's on the bench and hasn't really been playing particularly well, or Howes, who would be unlucky.

    Of course, if Jefferson plays, then Petty could be the third tall defender and I have no idea what's going on.

    If the Bulldoags only have 2 tall fwds how many tall backs do we need???
     

    If the changes were Howes + T Mac out, (Petty to defence), Adams & Jeffo IN....I'd start campaigning for the Chaplin Era™

    Do we necessarily have to play follow the leader ? I.e. just because their fwd isn't super tall !!

    Keep in mind Adams is very very quick , especially for his size.

    Just a curiosity on my part .

    Is it purely out of the interchange options? thought it could be anyone.

    based on Chaplin interview and selection, it sounds like Jeffo might be back also.

    Yeah, well why he didn't play last week was an absolute bloody disgrace!

    Interesting no Lindsay. Maybe they’ve decided to wrap up his season early. Get him set up for a big pre season.

    Howes and T Mac was good down back and Petty dominated fwd

    makes sense

    5 first gamers this year.

    Please dont count players that have previously played AFL games else especially when one especiallywill be delisted in 3 weeks time.

    There are worse teams than us that have won after a coach sacking.

    And for all those who were jumping off till Goody was gone I hope to see you there on Sunday if you aren’t at the snow yet.

    Go dees!

    One would hope our sub is NOT coming from the bench this week

    Final changes

    In: Adams

    Out: Sharp

    Windsor looks the most likely sub option looking at the bench. Adams would be an odd choice.

    If Windsor is sub we should sack another coach this week

    All i’m saying is there have been 9 players making their demon debuts this year which is factually correct.

    Harry Sharp's last three months:

    Round 10: Activated sub

    Round 11: Subbed off

    Round 12: Full game AFL

    Round 13: Dropped, no game

    Round 14: Played VFL

    Round 15: Bye

    Round 16: Activated sub

    Round 17: Activated sub

    Round 18: Dropped, played VFL

    Round 19: Full game AFL

    Round 20: Dropped, played VFL

    Round 21: Activated sub

    Round 22: Dropped, ??

    In 12 weeks that's 2 full AFL games, 3 VFL games, 4 games activated sub, 1 game subbed off, and 2 weeks off, plus whatever comes this week.

    Firstly, I'm not sure what we expect from him when we drop him and bring him straight back the next week. Secondly, how is he ever going to develop when he is yo-yoing between AFL and VFL, and playing completely different roles in each?

    Nor should it be. TMac has been in good form and SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DROPPED earlier in the season.

    He should be offered another contract next yr too.

    Best one-two punch in the league, so I think we need at least 3 talls in case one goes down or gets towelled up and one extra to intercept or come over the top to help spoil.

    English likes to go forward as well, that's 3 towering forwards. Scary

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
