Garlett has flown back to WA for family reasons. Might not play on the weekend.

Massive, massive, massive. With Port's run off half back/slingshot key to their game, we won't win without Jeffy's pressure unless every forward lays 5+ tackles and shuts them down. Might sound silly, but stop Port there, limit their midfield and they don't win.

Everyone that have Trenners as an in, are you going on just that Tweet or has there been any confirmation? I refuse to get my hopes up again

INS - VINEY, SALEM, TYSON, WATTS

OUTS - Vince, Kent, Smith, Pederson

Just saw we are wearing the indigenous jumper on the G for the first time. I like it. Nev will be a very proud Demon this week with all the work hes put in with RAP. Just hope Jeff gets back to play in it as well. Will be a special moment for the Wurundjeri people and the footy club

The thing is given our ins, they'll be running off guys like watts, petracca, Salem, and maybe someone like Kennedy. If they stuff it up we will be able to seriously hurt them. 

Im very confident our boys will get up for this one and deliver a strong win. 

Port are still a little bit unproven against strong opposition and I think we are a much bigger chance than most people are giving us

Great changes. Must be massive question marks over Trenners, but I hope he does well and cements his spot. 

Thought Pedersen was terrible last week. Wagner was ordinary and Smith looks a mile off to me.

Well that's the best possible result.

Garlett has been named and we regain Salem, Watts, Viney and Tyson. 

Best of luck to Trenners as well!

Out: Dean Kent (shoulder), Bernie Vince (suspension), Pedersen, Wagner, J.Smith

What a bonus will be seeing Trenners play his first game in a long time live with my kids. Hope he goes really well.

Wow! Not only do we welcome back 4 best 22 players (Jack Viney you are not human!!!) but Trenners gets a run. 

I'm absolutely stoked for him but I have to say, why now? Why not when we were crying out of some experience and leadership? Why not when we hade so many from our engine room missing?

Anyway, what's done is done. These are huge ins and should make everyone walk a little bit taller this week. 

Bring on Port!!!

Huge ins. That team looks like our best on paper for a long long time IMO Get Jones back and it's a bloody strong team that others will fear!

This should be a red hot game!

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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
