James Frawley out

in Melbourne Demons

According to mmm James will be a late change tonight. Huge loss I reckon as he is the stable one down back. So who should we bring in. Pettard, Tappscott and Fitzpatrick are our emergencies. Maybe Pettard can come in and Watts can play back.

This will put pressure on Rivers now and Joel macdonald will really have to stand up.

    This makes some sense. nick48 on O'logy who attended training for a short sharp session yesterday stated Frawley unusually finished doing some laps. Hinted that something may be amiss with him.

    That's all I've got.

    From Demonology yesterday

    Nick48 - Frawley – trained, ended by doing laps on his own.

    IRW- Are you implying that Frawley is carrying a niggle?

    Nick48 - it might be nothing - just thought it a bit odd at the time - he's named so maybe nothing.

    Perfect opportunity for Watts to play down back. Neeld hinted as much the other day too.

    Not really perfect. So Sylvia will be our tall target up forward?

    Maybe not having a tall target up front will force our mids to lower their eyes and aim for a leading forward such as Petterd, Sylvia or Howe.

    Agree with that, but wouldn't it be better for Watts to be taking that opportunity too seeing we want him to be a forward and not a KPB?

    We've gotta be tanking...

    I always thought Fitzpatrick was to come in with that side.

    Now 'if' Frawley is out, guess who'll likely play back, as hinted at these past few days. I reckon anyway.

    Well, I suppose there's still a chance that Fitzpatrick might get the nod.

    Well, Morton, I don't know if you realise what you've said. But you given me an Idea. I wonder if it's what they're contemplating?

    HAHAHAH. Yes... How is it we used to nearly win games we were trying to tank yet cant win a game when we're trying to win :)

    Frawley and Clark are our two most important players IMO. They are the rock of the forward and backlines, the strong bodies, the confidence, the generals. Having them both out this week will be disastrous!

    You're kidding arent you?? Cant see a match up for Frawley!! Doh!

    Source....

    Neeld in a presser this week said he would play forward and wing....

    Agree

    A scary thought indeed. Now we'll have no forward to not deliver too... Rivers will have a tall order...

    I heard Mitch Clark is out there? Can anyone confirm?

    Yeah, I heard that too... Three quarter time break at GWS game, it was mentioned. But if he wasn't named in the original side, how can that be?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
