    Fantastic ins, no real surprise with the outs though I don't know about bringing two guys back in for one game.

    Dew dropped for disciplinary reasons - probably lost weight against coach's orders .

    You have to say that this is the best team (on paper) we've had all year.

    Cheney's really, really unlucky. I thought he was one of our better players last week.

  • Quote

    That's a very good team. Glad to have Green back, we have been missing his goals. Cheny is very very unlucky. He was great last week and did some courageous stuff but with those 4 coming back someone had to be dropped. Also glad to see Bennell back in the team. Dew must be the hawthorn player dropped for disciplinary reasons. Quarters mentioned it when he said what's coming up in sport. He didn't mention Dew but just said the Hawks drop a star player for disciplinary reasons.

    Looking foward to sunday to see how we go.

    Happy with the team. The players returning are massive inclusions.

    Cheney is unlucky but understandable, I think he might be the sort of player who is on the fringes of selection week in week out, he certainly gives himself every chance.

    And I guess either Bartram or Petterd were going to be dropped. Ricky has to show a little bit this week.

    Overall I think the lineup is one that will give it a shake on Sunday.

    That's the best team we have fielded in a long time.

    It's a good sign when we have players unlucky to be playing in the senior team.

  • Quote

    Sensational that we are starting to get some real depth and competition for spots. Cheney, in particular, is extremely unlucky after an excellent game last weekend. The future is looking brighter and brighter.

  • Quote
    Cheney stiff, but still really happy with that side.

    Agreed.

    Hopefully Petterd is played in the backline.

    I'm particularly happy that with Frawley and Rives coming in as two defenders, Cheney (unlucky as you say) and Bartram have made way. In the past the team would be full of these defensive type players.

    P.S. I tipped Melbourne this week.

    If we had a gun key forward we would beat that Hawthorn side...

    Cheney is unlucky to miss but will probably be this week's emergency.

    'Unlucky' is understatment of the year. Would have him and C@#nt Bartram in ahead of the Pett at the moment.. and prob Miller!

  • Quote

    Great team.

    Definitely the best one we've fielded all season.

    Cheney stiff, but not as stiff as Bartram, who has done a great job this season under the most difficult circumstances.

    This will be the first time that Bartram has ever played seconds while at the MFC, which is a testament to the great services he has given us in his short career.

    If we can keep Buddy and Roughead to under 5 goals combined, we'll win.

    GO DEES!

  • Quote

    Yeah, Cheney's unlucky, but I suppose that's a good sign. It's incredibly tough to get a game down back at the moment. Where the heck are they going to fit Garland in there, when he's eventually fit?

  • Quote

    Neither of our main 'run with' players (Bartram / Dunn) have been selected, while Bateman, Mitchell, Sewell and Rioli are all going well for the Hawks. The match-ups will be fascinating!!

  • Quote

    Hmmm...

    Not only one of, but two of our best taggers and run with players get dropped, just as we come up against a side with a strong midfield.

    I'd have kept one of Bartram or Dunn.

  • Quote

    Cheney might be looking to get JMac to have a meeting with Bailey after this...

    Very stiff.

    If our midfield breaks-even we win, simple as that.

    Bartram hasn't really been dropped and won't be playing for Casey. The club is resting him and giving him some time off- he hasn't trained for the second half of this week. After a pretty stressful couple of months they're just giving him soon time to get refreshed.

    Cheney VERY stiff.

    While this makes perfect sense, and Bartram deserves times off if he needs it, why was he named in the Casey squad for this week?

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
