Match Committee meets today so assume team announcement is this evening.

Not expecting a lot from this game.  I will settle for an honourable loss where we run both ways and are NOT 'easy to score against'. 

Hope they fight it out to the end particularly in view of the ANZAC occassion of this game.

Lest we forget 2019

Lockhart and Garlett better come in.   We are slow, boring and one dimensional and need to find a spark from somewhere.

This match will be the final nail in the coffin for our 2019 season. I expect Richmond to win not because they are any good, but because we are rubbish.

The coaching staff have [censored] up this year. They’ve failed to adapt to the rule changes and gamestyle changes of the modern game. They have a talented list that they cannot get to perform. There’s not way we’re a bottom 2-3 team. We’re not playing finals this year, but I expect the coaches to be able to turn our form around for a good chunk of the season at least.

I want to see Garlett in. He’s the highest scoring goal kicker on our list and would provide a spark, even if he’s inconsistent. We lack speed and legitimate goal scoring options, and he’s both. Get him in.

I am seriously in two minds about dragging myself out on Wednesday night. This is usually my favourite match of the season but there is only so much a supporter can take. I am still flat after Saturday nights loss so I am not sure I can put myself through that again in one week.

Think I will decide on the night.

Have we hit rock bottom yet?

Unfortunately, we all have expectations that they can achieve so much more.  When will they start to deliver on that promise?  This week?  Next?  After the bye?  2020?

The club cannot say anything new that will encourage me.  I want to see actions.  What have you got?

 

The way teams have sliced us open this year on the rebound is frightening and I worry this will lead to at least a 10 goal loss of the Tigs bring there pressure.

Lynch/Riewoldt would be picking there lips for Wednesday night. Not sure how we will stop them from kicking a bag against us.

 

This is usually my favorite home and away game to attend each year. But I’m probably not going this year. Our poor performance mixed with the rubbish quality of games at present, combined with the trains being offline still makes this a very hard sell to drag myself to.

Footy is off my brain for a few weeks, as from today. I'd rather play golf at the moment and enjoy life. The MFC, not the players, have yet again fumbled around in the dark to very poor effect. We even have Pert as the boss. My goodness; poor coaching to match worsening selection options to match catastrophic decisions and outcomes. 

Let’s try our hardest to stay positive until quarter time at least. Put your coaches hats on and discuss how we can win. 

Bring in some fresh legs for starters, I’ve read suggestions we should go man on man. Can we sustain that for 4 quarters? Toiges have a plethora of zippy small forwards that’s why Hunt goes back for me especially if Jeffy comes in. He was good on Motlop  Round 1. At least he has the speed to keep up and make it harder for them. 

Weid and T Mac need to clunk a few early and get some confidence providing our delivery is much improved. 

Max and Nank should have an interesting battle. The Nank likes to push forward and is capable of kicking at least a couple. 

If they are to beat us at least make them earn their goals for the entirety.

Amen to that, DZ.  

I actually wonder how many changes we will make - to me, it is the first time I've seen Goody look pretty angry about the result and the efforts of our players, so it wouldn't surprise me to see 3-4 changes at least for this game. 

You would think the forward half needs the most work, and is probably the area we can change the most.  Jeffy, Keilty and Lockhart are probably three we might look at bringing in.  Tom Mac might miss this one with an 'injury', while others like Spargo and Corey Wagner may miss out.  Stretch is another one who might come in as well.  I think Garlett and Lockhart can bring some real pressure, and we know that Jeffy is able to hit the scoreboard.  I mean, what do we have to lose at this point?

If Riewoldt plays then possibly Oscar has to come back in to play down there as we can't afford to just go with Frost.  Josh Wagner might be the one to go there.  Going by that, the changes may be:

In:  Oscar Mac, Garlett, Stretch, Keilty

Out:  Tom Mac, C Wagner, J Wagner, Spargo

I know I mentioned Lockhart might get a look in above, but I can't seem to find room for him, and Garlett is a better option.

Also, is Steven May possibly ready for this one?  Or does he need more time?

I'm backing us in to have a better crack at it on Wednesday night, but not sure we have the confidence to do it for long enough to win the game.

I'd like to see the Fwd line spread more from the set-up (rather than bunching and all getting to the same spots), spread the Tall targets out more.

FF -   Garlett     Preuss    Petracca

 

HF -  TMac      Melksham    Weid  

 

Playing Tmac and Weid up higher and wider with Melk circling and our mids hitting the contests, and Preuss deeper with Garlett roving and Petracca lurking or providing a second lead

 

I like the mid week game as it doesn’t ruin the weekend when we lose and play like headless chooks. 

It will be a good weekend!

I can't bring myself 2 go I will vomit when I cough  up the dosh 2 watch us play like crud. I would rather bash my head against a brick wall. To think I was thinking about a membership upgrade 2 my m/ship so get a guaranteed ticket if we had ' ve made the Gf.

Play the kids 

I reckon you might be right on Tom Mac.  Wouldn't surprise me to see him out of the side.

Jones will stay, as I think there are plenty of others to drop first, and I hope they stick Lewis on a back flank where he belongs.

And play them out of position as well?  I don't have any better opinion Moonie, and I'm no team selector, but this just sounds a bit like a Chris Connolly tactic to me.

Maybe its desperate times.

We came out a few times last year after some bad losses and did really well. After a big win are the tigres vunerable? Did they use all their petrol tickets on the weekend?? Lets stay positive till halftime!

I thought we were playing the kids? You mean thats our real team??

So last year we were in a prelim final and by round 6 the following year the best I can hope for is effort.

 

It’s time for new blood, and a few positional changes. We have nothing to lose, and may as well try to be innovative.

FB: Hibberd - Frost - Hore

HB: Salem - T.Mac - ANB

C : Fritsch - Viney - Harmes

HF: Melksham - Weid - Hunt

FF: Keilty - Preuss - Garlett

R: Gawn - Oliver - Brayshaw 

I: Trac - J.Wagner - Lewis - Jones

E: C.Wagner - Lockhart

  • 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?
