I also can't fathom the hate for Cross. Has a reputation for iffy disposal but in reality it has been ok in both games, just being judged harsher because he has had the most disposals of any of our pl

Yeah you guys are correct. Dawes is the reason we got smashed in the midfield on Saturday. (Sarcasm) Do we need a scapegoat each week? He wasn't great but only 3 players can really hold their heads u

I think that's the sort of thing Grimes would actually really enjoy. It's a single minded task, which if performed well, will go a long way to helping us win. The reality is that Grimes will struggl

Dawes is a premiership player who performed exceptionally well in that Grand Final!

Toumpas is???

Steven Armstrong, Mitch Morton, Shannon Motlop.

See a trend here?

Bacm on topic im not happy with selections. And its not a knock on JKH also.

Toumpas is also 21 Dawes is what 27? Reckon 6 extra years experience, 6 pre seasons and 6 years of good coaching probably makes a slight difference.

I'd personally prefer Pedersen to Dawes at the moment. Better hands, better kick, more versatile. He has VFL form behind him too.

He's hardly bashed down the door at VFL level though. He does give some versatility in to the ruck, but he doesn't excel in that role. Slightly better kick, maybe better field kick but shaky in front of goal just like Dawes. More likely to take a strong grab, but less likely to get to as many contests. Certainly not as good defensively as well. It's all much of a muchness, but Pedo needs a few more good weeks in the VFL to replace Dawes I think.

For everyone's information, I'm in adelaide with work and it has bucketed down here overnight and is forecast to throughout the rest of the day. Tomorrow is also looking quite ordinary. Wonder if that factors in with the final team.

Sorry to hear you are in Adelaide. Very sad. On the other hand a wet track might just be in our favour. Fancy us in the wet and should be beneficial for the crumbing forwards around the packs. Just got to get it in there and get it to the ground. Hogan and Dawes can do that.

Pedo is named as CHB against Frankston in the VFL so hardly being groomed to replace Dawes in the Forwardline.

Thank you! It's no melbourne that's for sure. The new stadium is very impressive. I don't know I agree regarding the wet deck helping us. Especially if we don't go in hard like the second half last weekend. The forwards amd defence seem fine, it's going to be contested ball and clearances again and as much as I hope I'm wrong, they have far too much strength there. More so with viney missing.

Just day dreaming and deluding myself.

Michie completed the 'activation' session today i was there. Garlett wasn't there but i was assured by one of the players that he was just getting a later flight.

not much to report it was pretty low key stuff just a light jog and quite a lot of huddled chat. It started drizzling during session but Salem was as slick with the sherrin as he was one of the two soccer balls out there.

Surely Brodie Smith wont play for the Crows?

That would be borderline medical negligence. If he gets knocked out again tomorrow the Crows doctor will come under heavy fire

He'll play. Getting the 4 points is apparently more important than ones safety.

Plus didn't Parker or some other Swan play last week after a serious concussion the week before?

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
