I like it. we simply can't win a game with this trash of a forward line.
Good to see that people are finally calling for B.Brown to be out.

May in for Tomlinson - Enough said.
Rivers in for Hunt - No speed from hunt on weekend im gonna go with the better 1v1 defender.
On notice
Mitch Brown - Weids or JVR? Mitch wont work long term despite not being terrible on wknd. Weids struggling CHF. JVR no idea if he can do CHF. We need this sorted. Luke Jackson may need to take on more FWD responsibilities.

May get the forward line they wanted at the start of 2021 - Weid and BBB. Let Weid know he is in no matter what for next 4 games to take away his performance anxiety (not that I know anything about his bedroom form)
Last chance saloon because of TMac being out.

Mitch Browns deserves another go, bring back Rivers and May.

he wasn't even that bad in comparison to the majority of fwd line. just wont be able to carry that role hes undersized. He was a stop gap usage for the late withdrawal of Mac

But we've already got Fritsch who plays a similar role to Fritsch.
This is a big game DD. Marquee game.
Sparrow IS, a big game player.
I would want 'all hardness', on deck, for this one.
The wrong game to give Sparrow a rest.
But I would like to see a spot for Bedford, in there somewhere.
I think a big mobile forward-line, plus our smalls. so, Weide, MBrown, and Jackson/Gawn, rotating around our front half, from our centre-line forward.
Just have them continually rotating, mix and match, barely spending more than a couple of minutes in their current positioning. So the tall defenders don't have much of a chance to settle on the one tall forward. They will have to keep dropping off the forward who is moving out higher.
Have the smalls deeper, looking for the holes opening up from the tall's movements, and being ready for a quick entry.
Our wingers& center-line players need to be ready, with good kicking skills. Spargo/ANB/Sparrow/Salem. etc

I seriously doubt Petty will play. Give him 2 weeks off with the bye, and he should hopefully be ready to come back for Brisbane. We'll need him with all of the Lions talls now back in the side.
Bring May in and give Tomlinson another run at it.

Learned, I've known that since his first year with us, playing at Casey. He really is depth, for TMc. TMc originally not a natural key forward either, (since he was sent forward), but has learned to improve as a tall forward.
TMc is our best body on body, aside from May and Gawn.
Weide has to learn these skills, and would do well to go into defence for this reason, to learn the art.

Can’t stand that little prick. Has already got a name for himself as a ducker and the umpires just buy it.

If the forward line is struggling we should be pushing Gawn down there and have him rotating with Jackson. Can’t see why we wouldn’t go down this path?
A Round 21 change I'd like to make for the Pies, would be to bring in Christian Welch to CHF. A true Demon supporter.
just to set the cat amongst the pigeons. er, the pies.

Hey Ginnivan... look out, it's PIG time!

Digging into the why
You say this like Brown has played more than six games in the three seasons he's been on our list.
Tbh our forwardline is a complete mess at the moment. Apart from Fritsch they're all out of form. Need more from both Ben Brown and our ball movement through the midfield and the rest of the forwards will benefit as a result.

From what I have seen of Ginnivan I don't mind him. Only thing I don't like is constant floppers.
I thought Mitch Brown did great last game, he was just surrounded by a bunch of Muppets and had about 3 almost chances to go back and have a set shot (he is a good kick).
The motivation here for him must be massive as well. Assuming Melbourne get into a GF and he can hold his place it would be the Cinderella story of the season, again assuming they win.
