Good to see the selection committee have made a statement dropping an underperforming senior player...oh wait they dropped a kid and let senior blokes continue to coast and set the poor standard!

This club is weak. Nothing changes. 

If you know it all what would you have done?

    I too am really [censored] off at the moment and decided not to attend on Saturday. However, @Moonshadow , pleaded with me to go because he has no friends and is uncomfortable being alone.

    Anyway, for some reason, a sliver of optimism has been ignited and I think we have some chance. My main concern is who is going to kick goals to give us a winning score. I really hoped Preuss would be back as he appears to be good for a couple himself but, more importantly, gives us some structure.

    Dropping Weid won't make much difference because he's given us [censored] all this year. We urgently need TMac to regain some form and god help us could we find a crumber.

    I've said it before but I would like to see Jones playing forward pocket.

    Truth be told, I'm more uncomfortable sitting next to you than surrounded by people. However, your 'get-up' seems to create a large number of vacant seats in the area, so it's less crowded and easier to spread out. I'm ok with what you wear, others are not. Each to their own!

    I would play OMac forward, and agree with Bitters - Jones to the forward line.

    Surely spending 4 quarters back at Casey was all that Oscar and Wags needed to develop their skills and regain their confidence. Obviously an easy selection decision.

    Oh dear. Just when you thought things could not get any worse. Fifth loss for the year on our home turf. How’s the “cauldron” looking Goody?

    Need oMac back for Roughead so Frost can play on Mitchell Lewis and/or McEvoy resting.

    I’m actually a fan of the changes. 

    Harmes and Stretch on the Wing. 

    Salem in the middle

    Fritsch and Tmac back forward

    Hunt running off half back

    My biggest concern is the weather. Looks like it is now forecasted to rain during the afternoon.

    Good god.. how we continue to put games into a [censored] spud in McDonald is just mind boggling.. Should have given Keilty or Petty a shot. 

    Our season is finished and we have this useless [censored] coming back into the team.. 

    Riveting selections.

    Any hope I had for a win has vanished with this team selection. 

    Really confusing stuff once again.

    It’s not like we have a strong list of players who could have come in. Bar a player debuting, it was always going to be ‘meh’.

    in hindsight, the club completely overrated the list and got rid of some decent depth. I would have much preferred the inclusions of Bugg, Tyson or Kent. 

    ET.  of the kids we took in,  we won't know for at least another 12 months,  the way they're shaping.

    I actually like the types we took,  relative to the picks we had to use.

    IMO,  its the previous two drafts, that left us wanting for run and dash.

    Not so much. Anything to help get Fritsch back up the ground where he belongs is a step in the right direction IMV. Also, Fritsch forward frees up Petracca to do some of the on-ball heavy lifting.

    Of course, best laid plans ...

    Which half-forward do you think is keeping Fritta out of the F50,  'b181'.?

    Off on a tangent, but Collingwood are so stacked right now they're dropping Varcoe despite him being a gun. Really wish we'd gotten him for Clarke, instead of Lamumba. He'd be a handy player to have in the team covering the ground. Exact player we need.

    What IF TMc, or the Pet,  are outs ?

    I would have persisted with Weideman, but it's easy to understand the logic.

    Win and no-one will be complaining.

    Yeah but if he was playing for us right now John, he would be a spud. Just ask any Geelong supporter. Downhill skier of the highest order.

    I think Bitters might stiffen the backline.

    With Preuss unavailable, would like to have seen Keilty debut; see if he could have made an impact as. Forward/Ruck.

    Maybe if we swap the forward line with the backline?

    Yup.  Seemed an obvious selection.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
