    Don't reckon it'll be this week based on the Plapp report - sounds like he still has cobwebs to be blown out. You would think he'll get another run sooner or later though.

    Even as I was writing this, I was thinking "now that I've said this, it's sure to be wrong" and I was right. You'd think Smith will play based on that bench.

    I don't want to rush him in, but I really want to see Joel Smith named in the final 22 considering White has been dropped and we're missing a head at half-back. He might also bring in some much needed team flexibility and allow Bernie and Lewis to play in the midfield which would solve our no Viney and Tyson dilemma.

    I'd take Stretch, Trenners, Wagner and Smith.

    God I hope Trenners gets a game. 

    yeah...

     So happy to see Trenners get picked. I know I should just care about the team winning but i just really feel like he is a servant of the club and deserves a chance to prove he can still make out at the highest level.

    I'm betting he is going to have a special game. Come on Dees!

    Stretch has to be dropped if we're fair dinkum about doing the hard things. 2 weeks in a row he didn't put his head over the ball when he should've.

    Have to agree with the sentiment, I'd love to see him smash it.

    Definitely a chance to get smashed, but a starting three of Petracca, Oliver and Bernie/Lewis doesn't sound too bad. We'll struggle for quality depth through there though.

    No Maynard?  I was way off, then.

    Great to see Jesse and Jeffy back in our forward line.  Just having Hogan back should give the boys a huge lift coming in to this game.

    Vince and Lewis are both named on back flanks, but you would assume that they will spend far more time through the midfield this weekend.  For that reason you could assume that Wagner keeps his spot and Joel Smith also comes into the side.  Neither gives us a huge amount of run but they may get rotated through there with Hibberd and Hunt.

    After those two it's a raffle.  I don't think Weideman plays, so it's down to Kent, JKH, Stretch and Trengove.  It's anybodies guess from those 4 players.

    Edit - and underestimate our midfield at your own peril.  It's a little light on for depth, but we will still run plenty of experience and talent through there during the game.

    Named in the squad. Final teams announced tomorrow

    What chance We don't have as many coming off the back of the square?

     I think any chance we have for quick entries into our f50 with Hogan back and to he it away from their mids asap might be a tactic at times on Sunday.

  • Quote

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Facebook vid the club put up lists 4 ins and 4 outs, and doesn't mention Trengove and a couple of others included on the extended bench. It says...

    In: Hogan, Kent, Garlett, Smith

    Out: Tyson, Bugg, Viney, White

    Stretch was really disappointing against the Swans but I thought he was very impressive against West Coast. A number of our impressive plays from that night (especially when the heat was on) started from a Billy handball from the bottom of a pack.

    I said earlier smirh was a chance to be pucked sooner rather than later (before rbe article about him being the nominated rookie ill hasten to add) but surely he doesnt come in after only one vfl game, partic after plapp said he wad rusty

  • Quote

    Trengove stretch Kent and Wagner for mine. Wagner last chance and Kent better show something he has shown he is capable. Smith not ready after 1 game back jkh has never impressed at afl level. The weed not needed with pedo and Hogan in the team plus tmac

    With Jesse and Garlett in, it will keep the Blues defence honest!

    Especially as Marchbank is out for the Blues

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
