    In Dawes, Taggert, Magner (if grimes is put on LTI list.

    Out Grimes, Trengrove, Mckenzie.

    I was very disappointed with the output and error making of Trengove, McDonald and Mckenzie. So 2 mids and a tall and a captain. If Grimes is on long term injury list the Magner for him, Sellar for Mac while he gets some confidence and learns to kick and Davey for Mckenzie and Fitzpatrick for Trengove as we need a tall mobile marking forward (not convinced that Dawes is ready yet)

    IN: Jetta, Fitzy, Dawes, Blease, Toumpas (Be good for him to play against some similar aged players)

    OUT: Grimes (inj), Spencer, Trengove, Kent, Nicholson

    Swap Magner for Toumpas should Grimes go on the LTI.

    IN: Jetta, Dawes, Magner (Pending elevation)

    OUT: Grimes, McDonald, Nicholson

    Jetta is really tough and was one of our best before suspension.

    Dawes . . . well we've all been waiting almost six months for this.

    Magner may or may not get a go if Grimes is put on the LTI. Let's hope he can keep up with the Joneses.

    Grimes . . . poor Jack Grimes. B+F worthy form and he cops a ten week injury. Bad bad luck.

    McDonald...not since the debut of the infamous Tom Gillies have we seen a defender play this poorly. What? That was just a month ago, you say? Well I'll be...

    Nicholson...I had Bail originally, but he offers more than Nicholson does. Nicho's only advantage is his endurance, but Bail has that and a little bit more.

    Nicholson is bloody useless and should be dropped. He always stars in the preseason training and that's it.

    INS- Dawes, Jetta, Blease

    OUTS- Grimes, Nicholson, Bail

    Will watts be fit?

    yes, i retract my statement.

    Bring back Jetta and Dawes!

    In: Jetta, Fitzpatrick, Jamar, Dawes

    Out: Grimes, Spencer, Nicholson, ?

    I want to see if we can't stretch the Suns' defence with two legitimate talls plus a resting ruck down there. Grimes is obvious with Jetta being an obvious replacement and Jamar isn't listed on the injuries, so if he's fit he comes back in for Spencer. It would be tempting to bring in Magner as well given we can LTI Grimes. Maybe drop Jordie for him if we want to go that way, although he would normally get the role on Ablett.

    Woah woah, lets not go crazy.

    Tommy Mac can at least defend, and has runs on the board. Please let us never compare him, or anyone who has ever played a good game in red & blue, to that weird bearded man whos existence at our club confuses and enrages me.

    McDonald is having a stinker of a season, but he can play, and his kicking is passable, his confidence just seems to be well down.

    Sorry but I thought spencer playing far better than jamar. Would not drop him.

    I like Spence, but in no way could i say he's playing better than Jamar. Put it in persepective, Jamar averages the 3rd most hitouts in the AFL - today Warnock had 44 hitouts to Jake's 18.

    Not like Spencer killed him around the ground, either. Give him another week though, if Jamar is feeling the slightest bit sore.

    If Grimes goes LTI then Magner must come in.

    Not only was Spencer killed in the ruck, he was bullied around the ground. He's getting to be a big unit, but he couldn't stand up to the Carlton rucks. GC have a couple of huge rucks on their hands who will be more than happy to run through him at every opportunity. Jamar is a better option to stand up to that sort of physical attack.

    In: Jetta, Dawes, Magner

    Out: Nicho, Mckenzie, Grimes Lti,

    Trenners if carrying something needs a rest not sure who to bring in Fitzy may be to tall for balance so do you go Blease or Taggert, Just not sure on Rory being ready

    Originally typed TMac out for Pedersen at CHB but probably do Tom good to play this week

  • Quote

    Out: spencer (never again), bail (can't kick), McDonald (see bail), Nicholson (see bail), grimes

    In: Fitzpatrick, Dawes, Sellar, Jetta, Toumpas

    Dawes is our best big forward available. Gawn our best Ruck and Fitzy our best back up man. Lets play them as such!

    I like Jetta's toughness and his direct ball usage. Get him in.

    It's way overdue to swap McDonald for Sellar. It's short term but worth it.

    The last midfield spots are near on impossible. I don't actually want to play Toumpas but who else do we have? Do we stick with Mckenzie or Nicholson or neither?

    Upgrade Magner with Grimes to the LTI. Problem solved.

    Jetta Frawley Terlich

    Dunn McD Garland

    Howe Gawn Sylvia

    Kent Dawes Byrnes

    Spencer McKenzie N.Jones

    Int: Strauss Evans Blease Magner JT

    In: Jetta, Dawes, Magner (if JG on LTI)

    Out: Nicholson, Bail

    This is based on Col Garland and Tom McD being available. Both were hobbling by end of game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
