I certainly wouldn't have brought Lewis back without a game at Casey given his recent poor performances

Lewis played 4 games, one with a broken hand/finger. In the other 3, he was twice named amongst the best.

As for Pedersen, he's had one decent game in the VFL, to go along with his average games in the VFL and 2 poor games in the firsts.

You see what you want to see, and ignore what you don't.

    Happy with the changes. T.Mac is a massive in.

    Wagner out is a good thing.

    Hannan was a bit lucky IMO, I thought this would be a game that would suit Jeffy.

    Great to see 2 young guns in Spargo and Fritsch working together in the forward line.

    Despite the gallows marching this week I'm really excited about this week

     

    Strangely enough since Roos entered stage right been way more engaged with footy generally including enough to watch Anzac Day (wife and in laws all mad pies - they didn't disclose on pre relationship assessment form). Might be a symptom of moving 1800 km north of Melb though

    We’ve got some speed and marking targets in the forward line.

    I’m now confident we can win this weekend.

    Stoked T Mac is back.

    But also surprised as he's only fully trained for 1 week or so.

    Will they play Hogan, Weid and T Mac up forward at the one time?

    Hogan and T. Mac both quite mobile

    Very happy with ins this week.

    Hopefully Jeffy can work on a few things and be back soon enough.

    will be interesting to see if he plays tomorrow night at Casey (short rest) as the following weekend is a bye for Casey

    We have moved in to $1.80 to win even after Trac got ruled out.

    Punters really are idiots.

    More drastic than I anticipated, but that’s the fun of being a rank amateur.

    Excited about Spargo’s debut and the return of TMac. Curious to see how he affects our movement forward if at all.

    Looking forward to this now.

    I'm interested to see how we fit Hogan, T Mac and Weideman into our forward line.  I can't imagine they'll throw T Mac down back, so you would assume that with Trac out they may give Hogan more midfield minutes and have Tom and Sam up forward.

    I agree re: Spargo's debut as I believe he brings some real pace and guile to the side, something we don't have enough of.

    Hope Garlett stays at Casey until he plays well out there in the driving rain on a freezing day.

    It's no coincidence that he hasn't got anywhere near it against good sides in the rain and dew. He's the definition of not being able to trust Melbourne in big games and we're playing one short unless conditions are perfect and/or pressure is low.

    Fingers crossed Spargo can go past him quickly .

    Happy with the outs - add Trac and Viney at the expense of Harmes and ANB and that is about as good as it gets for us.

    Right with ya there. I like the team and add as you said in Viney and Trac we will be OK.

    Good point re: Garlett.  In our three big games (Geelong, Hawthorn and Richmond) he has gone missing in a big way.  He was able to beat up the Lions in Round 2 but that's what he should be doing.  He deserves a few weeks back at Casey and I'm glad that Goodwin has shown that he has the balls to do it.

    Interesting that our two biggest goal kickers in a game this year have been dropped and both deserve it. Other than 1 good game each, they have been putrid.

    Agree but i imagine Hogan will spend more time on ball otherwise we look top heavy.

    I assume that will be the case, plus he can play more down there when Weideman gives Gawn a chop out in the ruck.

    He will be needed as a bull in the midfield now we are without Trac

    Interesting roll of the dice none the less.

    I still can't comprehend how ANB keeps his spot

    I guess he follows the team rules, tigers won a flag doing exactly that.

    As for Harmes I give up.

    Would be intersesting to see the roles of Hogan/T.Mac/Weed/Lever this week.Who will be the 2nd ruck? Will Gawn play in defence for part of the match.  Where will Spargo play? Lots of interest but if we lose what's next?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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?
