    This would have to be one of the biggest surprise selections of all time.

    Amazing that he is fit enough to step into AFL football after a week!

    Why, we need more run in the side. The 666 will allow more small players in.

    The tall sloths will struggle.

    Named back pocket? 

    I genuinely have no idea where he's been playing at Casey or what kind of attributes he has to offer the side.

    Anyone other than the bearded-one care to shed some light?

    Good article on Jay on his journey the past 18 months.

    Great first goal.   He could be the small forward we desperately need.

    He roughed up and crunched Joel Selwood a couple of times.

    Thats enough for me to deserve another game next week.

    Lockhart is about the only thing keeping  me interested at the moment.  Has kicked some lovely goals already.. has great goal sense.  I feel he may snag a couple of bags this season as he gets more comfortable and our mess of gameplan is (hopefully) sorted out.

    If Goody moves him from the forward line I will scream.

    I like this kid, he adds pace and toughness to the side. Just needs to work on his consistency

    Won’t be long before the club sucks the life out of him.

    Why do the supposedly professional organisations known as MFC & AFL still  list him in websites as number 0?

    They're waiting for another  '0',  to become available...  and the number  '7', mono.

    Then he'll be licensed to thrill.

    .

    He may also be waiting for a locker ?  ?

    He’s not used to the speed of the game yet - has been done for holding the ball at least once per game and isn’t in games for long enough. I like his attributes, but in my view it’s unrealised potential with a few cameos per game at this point. Would be developing in the VFL ideally if our first choice flankers in Hannan and AVB weren’t out.

    Has some footy smarts and shows some dynamic manic movement.  Love the attack and instinctive way he takes the game on.  Getting caught is part of the game, no problems with that as long as the awareness evolves over time and it becomes the exception.

    Give him at least 2 to 3 game blocks until he looks like he's ready to take on more.

    We need more of these types but taller, if theyre out there, to add some marking / intercept / spoiling ability, and manic gut running with some initial burst speed.  The marking side critical since losing Hogan, Howe and Lever (till he returns).

    Lockhart should own the vacant small defender role given Jetta is out until round 13-14.  

    He has shown his AFL standard. 

    He played there at Casey last year and shutdown a lot of small forwards.  Has class and pace and knows how to tackle.  Probably gets puopolo this week.

    Thought he was good all day, added something different.

    Previous weeks he has started ok and then faded, but he kept it up for 4 quarters today.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
