Considering he hasn't had a chance to even show what he can do in the seniors for us yet I don't know how we are meant to judge him....all I do know is every week Max is going to get smashed by 2 ruckmen and we have another one who could help him out kicking dew off the grass in the VFL

Actually, he has had a chance in JLT and practice games and has been underwhelming - he's also been injured as I understand and therefore not fit enough to justify inclusion

He gets his chance this week presumably at Casey - start knocking the door down Mr Preuss and genuinely earn your spot rather than being gifted games because we simply want to protect Max - there are others arguably more deserving that could perform that function

    I have no idea why we picked up Preuss, who wants to be a back up ruckman ?. The Wagners bros. doesn't excite me one bit.  I can't see us beating the Bombers.

    I agree. No offence to the fellas but a team with two Wagners in the starting 22 isn’t going anywhere.

    The upside is if the above happens, the media blowtorch will be heavily applied, and that’s when we will see a response and maybe get our season up and running.

    ...and then we'll be accused of tanking deliberately to get the media to apply the blowtorch to get our season up and running.

    Then in 2029, the Herald Sun (should it still exist) will have a front page story about the Demons tanking in 2019, which will get our 2029 season up and running...

    Is that recent?  I ask only that Daniher is out there and I thought he wasn't training for a while.  Could be wrong.

    If it is recent why would Daniher be doing training drills if he isn't playing tonight.  It would make sense to have the selected forwards train their drills...

    Not entirely sure tbh. Ripped it off BF. I’m hoping it’s from this week.

    I love how quickly all the air has gone out of our tyres, from premiership favs to wooden spoon chance: only at Melbourne!

    Situation normal. Just like the Daniher years. Even numbered years we were princes; odd numbered years we were paupers.

    Hot and windy conditions.  Should be a cracking night for footy if the wind comes off a bit.

    off for a few thirsty ales before the game (preload at normal prices) as the weather suggests, then off to the ‘G

    no excuses, Mr Goodwin?  Lets see....

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
