    May in for someone ... Adams presumably (even though that's a bit harsh)?

    Not sure who for Windsor unless it's Woewodin or Brown, and Billings has been pretty consistent at Casey.

    Cupboard is always bare at this time of year.

    Adam’s would be pretty stiff to be dropped after a reasonable debut.

    K Brown for Windsor?

    Mentioned maybe but for whom?

    May for Adams would normally make sense. But with only two games to go, you could make a case for giving the youngster some more AFL experience and letting May's battered body have a good rest before the next pre-season .

    Brown or Woewodin for Windsor? Either change will probably weaken the team. Not much use promoting Billings, who does not seem to feature in any long-term plans.

    As for the rest, everyone in today's team (with the possible exception of Sparrow) did enough to keep their place.

    May for Adams

    Kolt for Windsor

    Howes back, Bowey forward, Sparrow sub.

    It’s not harsh to drop Adams. He’s not ready. You can tell at Casey he’s not ready. He loses concentration and doesn’t seek out the ball. It’s good he got a taste and there were some flashes but he has to take that back to vfl and dominate.

    I think Kolts going to be a good solid player but wouldnt reward him yet.

    Windsor out.

    We only need replace the sub.

    OUT: windsor, adams, sparrow
    IN: may, tholstrup, woey 2.0

    there's honestly not much at vfl level pushing for a call-up, despite their game being a ripper contest and great win

    Need a runner in tho. Can’t have May for Windsor.

    We could leave Sparrow in the starting 22, or drop him entirely but I think sub is a fair compromise. I don’t want to disrupt Casey too much either, those guys are having a good crack at finals.

    Lindsay in not Kolt is an option too, but I’d like to see Kolt play a little defensive mid.

    It would seem a bit unfair to drop Adams after he was given the impossible task of guarding Naughton who's in the form of his life, but I can't imagine we'll be leaving May on the sidelines.

    I imagine Windsor will miss the remainder of the season. Lindsay seems the most logical replacement but Kolt has also had a good block of VFL form. I can't see any of Woey 2.0, Laurie or Brown getting a look in anytime soon.

    Might be an unpopular opinion but as much as I'd love to see Kentfield or Brown get a go next week, Casey kinda has more to play for at this point. With two dead rubber games to go for the seniors, why bother messing with a team that needs the momentum going into finals? Is it worth a call-up for 1 or 2 games? Maybe? Maybe not.

    Very likely. All things considered the likely option.

    I really dislike the arrogant tossers at Hawthorn. Please let us smash them.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
