Apart from Salem they can all be up for debate. 

Just utter slop. 

Out: Frost

In: May

Etc

    I worry about Spargo after that game and it sucks for him. He does everything right, for a player about a foot taller.

    let's be honest...there's not much at Casey.

    Lewis and May back raise the question of who goes out.

    Could Keilty get a game in place of Hoare?

    Forecast for next Saturday is a maximum of 16....much better for us I hope !!

    Preuss should have been played today if he was any good. Geelong are light on in the ruck department so Gawn should be sufficient.

    Spargo has good footy smarts and I thought he tried today and did some good things. 

    As usual, when the whole team Plays poorly, it’s easy to signal out individuals but  Spargo was okay for mine. Just needs to remain in the game at times.

    Tried to impact the game with numerous tackles but ball carrier still easily able to offload.

    Cant fault his endeavour.

    Drop: Weid

    never ever play Petracca in the centre when  Weid is ruck.

    Neither can play that role. They are both talented but hopeless.

    I don't want to see Frost in the Seniors again. Salem can hold his head high, the rest were generally average/poor today. On field Leadership non existent. Jones was awful. Same one dimensional "bomb it long to a contest" game plan, with no evidence of Plan B. Out coached.

    Both didn't have great days at all today, but you can't say they're hopeless.

    Out - Viney

    In- Anyone that’s fit.

  • Quote

    Spargo was bordering on pathetic. As was Frost, Oscar and Hore. But the problem was the performance of the leaders Viney, Jones, TMac and Gawn.

    May and possibly Lewis come in but it's going to be much the same next week.

    Get rid of Oscar and Frost. They were both diabolical! May and Petty/Keilty comes in. Both of them are just plain shithouse and add nothing to side.

    Hore is meh.

    Jones won’t chase and incredibly casual dropped simple mark, when mark and captains goal may have kept us in it.

    May, Preuss for Frost, Wagner

    Lewis will be standard 21 Day hamstring recovery 

    Disappointing if so.

    He's made for a16 degree game at Kardinia Park

    KK could be an inclusion if he gets through the Casey practice game

    Sorry, that may have read wrong. I agreed with what you wrote. I didn’t mean to imply you thought that, it was simply an extension of the narrative. Right spot, right time but struggles to influence.

    Too many errors from Spargo, agree with you re the leaders, also why didn't anyone return fire with the aggression ?

    May & Lever cant come in quick enough! Will change the whole dynamic / structure of our play. 

    Backline was an absolute mess today. Salem the only winner down back... could argue our only winner for the day. He was fantastic.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
