WERRIDEE

Spargo is senior emergency and J.Wagner is out. T.Smith BOG just in front of C.Wagner.

Johnstone is playing down back now I don't think he has a problem.

That's the team we will knock out. I have us 8th by %, losing to Sydney, Geelong and West.Coast. GWS game will be massive.

Sounds like a player we need. When they say lively do they mean quick? We need pace, pace and more pace.

Don't give up on Gaff yet we have plenty of money to give Gaff as well.

It's got to be doubtful it's a hard team to break into.

So Pedersen is emergency and Vince plays in the VFL. When was the last time Vince has played in the VFL? His career is almost over unfortunately for old Vince.

I can't remember Bernie being on an extended bench. I think Bernie's luck has just run out he will be emergency. Why would Pedersen play back last week if he was to replace Tommy makes no sense. Tommy will be fine. IC: Fritsch, Harmes, Tyson, Weideman

GO HARRY YOU GOOD THING

Petty gets a game ahead of Frost who is really out of favour. Filipovic, Keilty and Scott come back into the side as does Kent. With Tim.Smith not even in the emergencies I think it's safe to say Tommy.Mac will play.

Yeah add Tim.Smith to the emergencies and bring Scott in.

Casey are on a roll ATM with 6 on the trot and I think that will continue against Essendon on Saturday. My prediction is a 5 goal victory to the Dees. The game is televised. Kent will be back for this game. Senior emergency should be J.Smith. My Preferred Team B: Keilty, Pedersen, Johnstone HB: J.Wagner, Petty, Lockhart C : Hannan, Spargo, Baker HF: Balic, Hutchins, Kent F: Garlett, T.Smith, Filipovic FOLL: King, Bugg, Kennedy Harris IC: C.Wagner, Lok, Machaya, Munro, Stockdale

Pretty confident about this game, well if we can't win this game we don't deserve to make finals. I'm predicting a 60 point victory. My Preferred Team B: Jetta, O.McDonald, J.Lewis HB: Hibberd, Frost, Vince C : Fritsch, Oliver, Jones HF: Neal-Bullen, Hogan, Petracca F: Weideman, T.McDonald, Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Tyson, Harmes, Stretch EMERG: J.Smith

It would be better if they told us who we would beat.

Just done the ladder predictor again and I've noticed a few things. We can't afford to drop a game to a team that is below us. We must beat GWS in the last game. To assure our spot in the 8 we must win 1 game against either Sydney, Geelong, West.Coast. So we can only drop 2 games.

Terrible article firstly Watson doesn't give the best reason why we aren't balanced he said we didn't have a crumber. We did until last week with Garlett then Spargo playing, we have more problems than just that. Can we compete with the best? we just did against Port dominating key stats but not on the scoreboard where it really matters. Can we beat the best? That's a different question. ATM the moment it's no. With all the talk only being able to beat bottom teams what's the bet we lose to one I'm thinking Freo. That would be typical Melbourne.

I'm not going to a game until we start losing. Gotta keep it under 40k.

I think one thing is for certain at draft time is we will be going for pace. Expect an indigenous player or 2 and a player or 2 who can run the lines like Baker.

Vince will never go out Goody loves him the easy option is Frost for young Joel.Smith.

We are not going to get a top 10 pick just face it. Trading Petracca or Hogan is ridiculous. Tyson is the only player with any trade value and that a pick between the 20's and 30's. The trade week and drafts are going to be lean next year unless Taylor pulls something out of his butt. FA is what we have to look at and we must go after Gaff, for that to happen we must make the 8 and that's no certainty. Bring in Gaff and Lever can be fit by round 1 after his knee reco, then we can go for that elusive premiership.

Misson misses injured players all the time it's not unusual. Keilty and Filipovic didn't play nothing on them also.

If Goodwin also said we were too short then I expect Joel.Smith to be dropped and I think Frost will get his last chance at AFL level hopefully he doesn't stuff it up like Pedo did. IN: Weed, Frost OUT: The Smith's

He seems the likely replacement for Jetta doesn't he?

What happened to Keilty and Scott Drunkn?

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-06-23/analysis-how-demons-can-save-their-season Nothing that hasn't been said before. Stop bombing. Vince and Lewis don't work, need Hunt Too small down back, need Petty. Need an opportunist forward, need Garlett Petracca has to lift. Any others? Thoughts?
