Because?

Salem comes in. Absolute certainty. Who's your out?

I think Wagner impacts the contest well.  Bugg goes out for me

    You should have led with that. ;)

    Yeah I can see your point. I'm glass half full on both. Bugg just kept getting on the end of it as a deep forward, when we were crying out for a target. He's a bit of a mr fixit. Like a very very poor man's Yeo. I suspect you may be right on this one. The defense has struggled at times lately, and that's partly because starters like Wagner haven't had continuity. If he does stay in, I'd love to see Salem rolled through the midfield and half forward. Kicking inside fifty has been absolutely our worst facet all year. Unless it's Salem with the ball in his hands. He can get a kick off half back if needed, but let's see him up the ground where he can really hurt teams.

    My set play for Kicking out : Vince to Salem to Watts/Petracca   to      Gartlett/Hogan/Hannan .   Clarrie/Jack V and Nathan J could stand in the middle and smack anybody interfering or practicing their centre bounce drills.  

    Simple game really  !!

    I'd prefer Hibberd to Gawn with a contested mark just outside 50 who hands it off to Jones who chips to Lewis who passes to Watts who hits Trac up with a delightful pass who plays on and puts it down Hogan's throat 15m directly in front for a certain goal

    Agreed, very simple game :)

    100% agree with that, I think Salems finishing skills will up us massively

    Any kicking skills will up us massively. lol

    At one point in the second half Watts took a mark uncontested on the paint of defensive fifty. I was overjoyed. Love when he plays between the arcs.

    In: Salem, Hogan, Gawn

    Out: Wagner, Bugg, O.Mac (T.mac back to defence)

    Collingwood don't really have a big key forward presence so our defence matches up well

    199cm Moore? 211cm Cox?

    The minute you switch off and don't take them seriously, that's when they get up and about.

    B: Jetta - Frost - Hibberd

    HB: Hunt - T.Mac - Vince

    C: Lewis - Oliver - Melksham

    HF: Petracca - Pedo - Hannan

    FF: Watts- Hogan - Garlett

    FOLL: Gawn - Jones - Viney

    INT: Tyson - Salem, ANB, Harmes

     

    Optimistic that both Hoges and Gawn return but that is just about best 22

    Cox plays reserves and Moore is a skinny, mobile 2nd forward.

    Who's kicked 5 in the last two weeks. Daniher's skinny too. Smashed us. I hope we take Moore seriously.

    Cox though, they're welcome to play. lol

    Hogan a definite starter, Mark My words!

    agree. Salem in. Hogan more than likely.  Gawn not ready so Spencer may be preferred.

    Out.  Wagner for Salem

     O.mcd if Hogan fit (T.mcd goes back)

  • Quote

    Misson has said that Spencer is tracking a week or two in front of Max so if that holds true, bring in Jake for QB and give Max an extra week or two to get cherry ripe.

    Does TMac deserve his spot at the moment? 12 possessions at 50 percent efficiency doesn't cut it. If Hogan comes back I would drop him before his brother.

    Milkshake and Harmes would have to hold their spot. Nibbler may have done just enough. I reckon there may be a surprise in store - Max or Jesse to come in.

    I think if Gawn isn't ready then spencer is. Hogan might also be ready.

    Also salem goes straight in.

    not too sure who goes out if spencer/Gawn, hogan and Salem play.

     Pedo? Bugg? O mac?

    Classic case of stats watching. He's been playing in the ruck and forward out of necessity. Put him in defense and he has 10 marks, 8 r50s, 25 touches, and about 15 spoils on a good day.

    He has been forced to play ruck and up forward. He couldn't have done more

    The radio (ABC) said that a move from forward to ruck saw an improvement - I think they meant in his (Tmac's) efficiency.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
