Fritsch unlucky? Harmes/Melksham lucky?

Best of luck to Sam, hope he makes it. Think we shouldve picked Pedo though

    I think 2 games in 5 days will see him back against Essendon

    Our changes are decent IMO. They've lost some best 22 players to injury and suspension, so that helps us. Let's see if the boys can fire up this week after sh*tting the bed last week against the Hawks.

    Disagree about pedo. The weed has shown good form at casey and is the future. Games like this will only help. If he can't mark then spoil for the crummers.

    I like the changes this week. 

    Weidmann gets a chance which is great, which gives us the second ruckman we need and a taller player to complement Hogan, especially when he pushes up the ground. 

    Tyson coming in adds a good, solid mid to the mix and allows us to potentially play Oliver forward a little more. 

    Stretch and Hunt give us some outside run which is something we have lacked a little of. 

    I'd love the get a win this week and I think this team gives us a shot at it.

    I want to see Hunt take the game on and break the game open like he did last year. Goody says he had discovered thjat aspect of his game again in the magoo's. That's great because it was non-existent in the rounds before he was dropped. Mind you, the whole back six have been ordinary since we brought that potato gem Lever in. (jokes) sort of..

    I'm all for getting some games and experience into Weed. Part of me is a bit meh on it tho. I hate Richmond more than any club, and it's such a big stage and important game that could be season defining. Against what was the best defence in the game last season with some experienced defenders, he'll more than likely get eaten alive. And that SHOULD be ok. We need to find out about him. Just a shame for the desperate-for-a-win crowd, like me, as Pedo would have been the better in IMHO for the next 4 quarters of MFCs life.

    I hope it's part of a bigger plan that he misses tomorrow but ones straight back in for Sunday

    I would say Fritsch having a rest and might be back for Essendon off a short break. 

    I worry about losing leg speed but I suppose Hunt and Stretch in balance that out a bit. 

    Not confident at all.

    I must have missed that in his game at Coburg.... boy Goody does love the spin

    Good changes, although I like Fritsch.

    Rapt with the Weideman decision. 

    Pedersen is a dud key forward at AFL level, which has been proven time and time again.

    We all want to win. 

    You do realise that Weideman played in our best win last year ?

    Absolutely, Harmes and Melksham should have been out before Fritsch, good stuff the Weed is in, he needs to stay in for at least a month

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
