Yet to see anything from Dawes to get excited about in the red & blue. I'm hoping he will look better with Hogan / Clarke in the team, but until either of those two are back I really couldn't care less when he is set to play.

Misson admitted that they rushed him back too early last year and he suffered beacuse of this. I still think he can be a good player for us.

Lets not bag the Saints until after we play them.

Previously we've gone into years with expectations that our kids may drag us up the ladder. Any rise now won't be on the back of kids, which will only improve their development. We know that Vince,

There's one certainty around Round 1, I think - in the hours immediately following the game Demonland is going to go off.

He is really good at playing the second fiddle forward, he runs hard, creates space for the other forwards, and is smart, knows how to drag his opponent out of the play

Not to mention he can split a pack in two. Even if he doesnt mark it he can rag doll the opposition out of the contest and let JKH gather it.

I thought Dawes was fantastic in the games I saw, given he was being fed by a non existent mid field. His work rate was inspirational. He would run to the wing on a lead and then run back chasing a kick. He is a genuine power forward and provides leadership through example. His injury is a worry but I am confidently anticipating big things from him given our new midfield. Any two of Dawes, Clark and Hogan on the field at once will give us targets we haven't had for years.

Dave Mission just said that there is a good chance Hogan, Dawes, Jamar, Gawn and Taspcott are a chance to be right for round 1 and Clark and Garland are tracking well, some positive news if it's factual

Why do they do this to us. Just be quiet go along and don't say they'll be back until they're back.

Yep and they're only 1 flag from equalling us on the premiership ladder and bundling us out of the top 4.

That is seven months away dr.

This would be my side

B L: Georgiou - Frawley - Terlich

H B: Grimes - McDonald - Dunn

C L: Watts - Tyson - Cross

H F: Michie - Fitzpatrick - Trengove

F L: Howe - Pedersen- Kennedy - Harris

Foll: Spencer - Vince - N.Jones

I/C: Clisby - Bail - Toumpus Sub: Viney

Emerg: MJones - Mckenzie - Nicholson

The only change I would have would be Dawes for Pedersen.

Will be an absolute [censored] fight i think.. The saints have no midfield and we have no forward line..

I agree re Dawes. If both Dawes and Clark are in the same side it would almost be like the days of Nieta and ox!

Throw in howe and kennedy-harris and theres almost abit of Lyon and Farmer.. Haha if only!!

Reckon we will see a repeat OD of Cats 08 & Pies 11. They are going to be very strong for early to late part of the season and will look invincable for a lot of the year.

I believe one of the other contenders will build as the year goes on and win it

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
