I agree with this.  I read a training report that Fritsch was training with the mids. 

I think ANB comes out for Garlett and Fritsch will push up the ground. 

Trac in for Salem of course. 

They didn't train in their lines/groups today, it was mix and match, so Fritsch with the mids was this

    Just will be interested in seeing it and tbh, I think you can get in his head where all he cares about is the niggly crap. 

    Nah not Nut, he would laugh at them

    Cheers. 

    I still think Garlett comes in for ANB.  

    We are a better side when Garlett is up and going.

    Garlett couldn’t possibly come in after 1 week and from reports he was just ok. 

    If Hogs misses Peds comes in ahead of Smith, Weid (while developing nicely) can’t lead that fwd line when TMac moves up the ground.

    As usual need a really good going away from them win.

    Didn’t Garlett have 10 tackles? Maybe that’s what coaches wanted to see but definitely an increase in Dees VFL players tackle counts. He fits into the side and what a dangerous forward line it becomes, it was only a couple of games ago he arguably won us the game v Lions. Mouth watering if he’s on.

    Interchange for me should be Spargo, Fritch, Smith and Garlett/ANB. Toss up between the last two for me. Do not mind either way. Spargo and Fritch stay after performance last week and I would like to see Smith get a run to see what he has got to bring.

    I still do not like the look of the team with Vince, Lewis and Jones  there.

    Don't have a go at him, I thought it was hilarious, a stream of conciousness, without the need for paragraphs

    Yeah - I was looking for @La Dee-vina Comedia to pass judgement on the style of prose to bring further frivolity.

    2 of those games had less then a kick in them, playing Fremantle in Perth is always hard, and collingwood were close to  useless last year.

    Tx for clarifying. I feel better.

    Give Jeffy a chance on a dry, fast deck against a relatively slow defence and then judge him.

    i reckon he’ll carve them up.

    Its an awesome number especially for him but he is there to kick sausage rolls and outside lions game he hasnt been on. Hes on or off and that is an issue.

    I thought us melbourne supporters melted hard, reading bigfooty saints board they are giving us a fair run for epic melts

    I know he is out of form, but Jeffy coming back into the side would make us an even better side if that makes sense in a weird kind of way? ANB can make way for him.

    I just feel on a dry quick deck, Garlett has the potential to kick your 3-4 goals from anywhere!

    Have you noticed that every team that gets beaten by Melbourne is "in crisis".

    Makes me laugh....

    So why did they “rest” their most consistent midfielder and arguably their best!? Weird [censored]!

    Wilkes-Maester's career was cruelled by not by injury but by how he'd only get to play Melbourne just twice a year.

    We're still a bit of the pace.

    There was a passage of play in the 3rd quarter where we were tentatively handballing it around in front of goal and no one wanted to kick the goal despite completely dominating possession.

    Like the leaking of soft junk time goals it was the play of a team lacking ruthlessness and some self belief

    That was the one where Weideman handballs to Jones, should've had a ping

    I really hope Trac plays and tears the Aints a new one just to rub it in how much better than McCartin he is.... (again)

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      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?
