Perhaps we could give the support staff a game?

We need more VFL players

 

We could get a few from Wang Magpies and they'd be stars compared to...


Bennell, Green our worst by far today. We never really got the change we expected last week, so i don't like the chances of getting them this week

Realistically Watts and Howe wont be dropped.

Out: Green, Benell, Bail, MacDonald

In: Martin, Couch, Tapscott, Blease/Morton/best mid from Casey.

 

What can you say, has anyone ever heard of f.........manning up. Thats it for me a supporter for 50 years I have nothing left to give


OUT: Green, Macdonald, McKenzie, Sellar, Bennell

IN: Tapscott, Moloney, Morton, Couch, Tynan

Green is gawn; Macdonald is too slow, too short and his disposal is wretched; McKenzie can't dispose of the ball properly and is still not fit enough because of his injury; Sellar only came in to match it with the WCE talls; Bennell has no idea or willingness to get the ball

Tapscott is hard at it; Moloney is still our best midfielder, and as long as he hasn't cracked the sads, and is one of the few senior players who has a shot of taking us forward; Morton is just a hail-mary, hope-he-shows-something selection; and Couch has had some good form of late; and Tynan should never have been dropped.

Is Sylvia a chance of playing next round? If so, then he's straight in, perhaps for Colin Garland, who's been woeful all year.

Out Bennell,Mckenzie.Mcdonald. Bartram,Sellar,Green,Bail, Dunn.

In Couch, Nicholson,Blease,Moloney,Davis,Tynan,Tapscott,Morton.

also..Sack Royal , bring in Lovett or Viney.

I saw the first half after the first 15 minutes. Then the bar witch from the west got me dragged for me complaining about her 2 weeks a go. Barman apologised to me again re her, told me he couldn't serve me but let me stay until the boys in blue came an hour later. Barmen asked me if I wanted a beer 10 minutes before the boys turned up. I needed an ATM so He gave me a wink & said, "My shout".

I'm going to take it further next week.

The teams: Green was quiet again I think. McKenzie should be Sub, with his lack of fitness base, although that may put him back further. Maybe your right, he should get fit with Casey, but I can't think of anyone who'd be better.

I'd keep Sellar for height balance & it frees up Frawley to matchup on others tall or small. IMO the Rivers/ JMcDonald/ Garland thing isn't working. TMac looked OK, encouraging.

So, I'd bring in the likes of Morton for run, Davey for run & pace, Martin in, Moloney if fit? Couch for McKenzie, leave Green for one more, Maybe Bail goes out for Tynan, Bennell > Sub:


We really need size .

Bail ,Bartram ,Jordy Mac etc are just not going to get us there .Jmac is a battler at best .

Not Morton, please. I don't want to see him play again.

Morton is better than half the blokes we have in there at the moment.

At least he has a bit of run and good disposal.

Showing the white feather? I have been a longtime supporter too, but I'm not changing ships now or ever.

Well at least in Magners case he just plays footy unlike our overpaid players

I agree we should look further afield the sooner the better

 

Morton isnt the kind of player we need. We have too many of that kind already.

Just a bit of push and shove from the Tiges. We're yet to see if it will pay off, but it's something the Melbourne players didn't show today when they were getting flogged.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
