O'Mac punched it through... probably the right thing according to the commentators

Omac didn't punch it through. He was flying for the mark but a dark haired casey player punched it through. Can't remember the name.

    Spargo no goals and wasted kicking. He has a long way to go.

    Unlike him - usually it’s the other way around with very few possessions but good decision making. Probably lacking confidence. Still think he will be ok long term. He needs to develop some upper body strength to be able to stick tackles

    Doesn’t sound like the right thing to do given the scores and the time. But sounds very OMac

    The old backmans curse- damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

    have doubts on Petty, not sure he is quick enough (pace and decision making)

    Maybe Petty is just still thinking his way thru footy... and not yet playing on instinct.  Lets give him time. 

    Oscar is the one who needs his finger surgically removed from an orifice...  someone give him a rattle,  so he can move along to its beat.

    Sparrows performance was pleasing to read about. Seems to be a likely inclusion for Viney next week.

    Was hoping to read a bit about Sparrow’s game in the VFL match report. Nothing on him, not even named in the best.

    Saw Sparrow was an emergency for the Richmond game which suggests he’s still in the coach’s mind for a call-up.  Seems a likely inclusion at this point.

    Maybe he can be put in the forward line to add a bit of pressure

    Yeah- would have to be a half forward role.  

    Petracca to the midfield for Viney, Sparrow to half-forward for Petracca.

    Kielty WILL play VS Hawks, Mark it down. 

    Chance Oscar replaces him but I hope not - think we need potential of someone taking grabs up forward or going back. Could both come in to replace Weid but unlikely. Really need Smith, VB, May, Lever back and I think Baker will play in 2-3. So annoyed we put smith back on field to make groin worse he was PRIMED for marking fwd pressure dual role!!!

    Kielty, Sparrow in for Viney & Weideman.

    Thats the risk you take.  You dont rush a behind with scores level that late in the game.

    Yes you do as it gives you clean possession and the chance to move it 70 metres toward goal with one kick

    Although it’s not really ‘we’. It’s a VFL team.

    Think it’s we to most of us

    Preuss will come in for Weid. Keilty has done very little, only 10 touches he doesn't get the ball enough. ANB is injured too isn't he Corey will come in for him.

    I would wait on baker. No pre season remember. 

    Didn't really look the goods before he was injured..

    How the hell could you tell that about bedford yet.

    As a junior he didn't get a lot of the ball and was not a goal kicker.

    At his size he has to do more than just tackle, run fast...and get a couple of kicks

    He's following a similar path to another couple of kids that have been on the list, Dom Barry & Dion Johnstone. They looked ok but couldn't find enough of the ball.

    So...just a feeling I have. Hope I'm proved wrong...

    On today’s form, Sparrow and Keilty could come in.  Add Preuss back as well. 

    Think Viney out injured, with Weideman and Hunt to be likely omissions.

    Why are we drafting these types, small forwards who don’t kick goals and don’t have too many tricks, that is X factor?

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
