I loved our spine against the Hawks - TMac, Frost, N Jones, Dawes, Hogan. If that group can find some consistency then our developing midfield has a strong foundation to work from. I think Pedo is a vital swingman and we need his utility, but can we fit him onto the bench with that spine in place, Gawn in Ruck, and a very tall Watts playing as a tall forward? Not too sure.

Harmes appears to be the one out of touch. Kent has lost his attack on the ball and tackling pressure.  These two out,  but unsure who to bring in. Probably need Dunn for Cloke.

I don't think we can play Hogan, Dawes, Watts and Pedersen in the same side.

IMO, Pedersen and Dawes are fighting for the same spot and on what I saw yesterday, I'm not sold on Dawes. The more so given Pedersen will do the second ruck duties which is a far better option to Watts.

OMac will not get dropped. Those here that say that Frost is a better defensive option are seriously deluded. I f we are going to drop a key defender, it will be Frost.

For me, I would keep that same team if possible.

Your kidding ? I thought Frost did some nice things AND he is quicker than O Mac

I hope Grimes plays well. Id bring him in for Harmes to play that Wing/half forward. What you will get from Grimes is pressure acts and tackling and he will give you genuine 100% effort.

Harmes is starting to really tire out now and Grimes is the perfect replacement.

I start a new job on QB, would it look bad if I took a sicky to watch the game? Kent out Kennedy in.

Depends who the boss barracks for.

But let them know early that you will be more productive if allowed to go, and if/ when we win you will be ultra productive with a positive attitude that will inspire the company. Of course should we lose you will be ultra productive as you focus on tasks and concentrate on displaying the resilience that all employees need to perform at their maximum.

It sounds like I'd be doing my new workplace a disservice if I were to work on QB.

 Nine day break.  We are a better team and it will be disappointing if we do not smash them.

Please don't make statements like that. We will be a better team on the day if we win. It's a week to week call.

In - Kennedy, Spencer

Out - Dawes, Harmes

I wouldn't mind these changes. It's Harmes or Kent out for Kennedy IMO. At least Spencer could take second ruck, provide a tall target to kick to and is quicker and more agile than Dawes.

I didn't particularly rate Dawes' game yesterday but they're not going to drop Dawes after one game.

Have we dropped anyone this season after one game? I'm not sure. We gave Michie, ANB and Newton at least two games each.

You're probably right, TU, but that's what I'd do.

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    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
