When May, Lever and Jetta return, it will free up Frost and Hunt for the wings. Open space to run and long kicks to attack.

Rotate through the wings with TMac & Weideman to offer variety in size and marking ability as well as run.

Tracca needs a chill pill and to be instructed to hold the ball after a mark to take the time to make good choices and to set up his kicking.

There is no rush to win.

Turbo McTreacle must be worried if all these moves come of!

    Lockhart has been a professional footballer for no more than a month or two. In each of his previous games, he was fading out quickly after a lively start, but he put together 4 quarters on the weekend and was vital. I think he will continue to improve.

    Hore's disposal on the weekend was concerning, but love his intercept marking, which is as important a trait as you can get in today's game.

    The little I've seen of Lockhart so far he could be something, shows a bit.

    I was surprised they dropped Hore after round one. He’s been fantastic and exactly the type of player we need with Lever out. 

    I was surprised Lockhart has come in off a VFL preseason and has had the impact he has. Looking forward to him for the rest of the year. Should build confidence after the weekend.

    I really enjoyed Lockhart's fake handpass that led to the Garlett/Stretch Goal. Showed great awareness of stuff happening around him.

    He was dropped because May came in.

    Has done a terrific job since coming back in.  Deserves to stay when other defenders return.

    Weideman on a wing?

    Good grief

    Anyone know if Lockhart is indigenous? 

     

    He’s from Tassie, so probably not... ? at least not directly.

    No doubt he was replaced by May. But we lacked an interceptor.

    A feel good story about Lockhart's path to AFL:  From Docks to Dees

    He has missed only 2 games since debut due to injury.  Last line of the article sums it up very well:  He won’t be back on the docks any time soon".

    It seems he has taken ANB's spot in the team, having been selected ahead of him several times.  Will be interesting to see who goes out when Hannan comes back.  Given the huge wrap Hibberd gave Lockhart for being 'hard as nails and one of the toughest guys he's met in footy', I doubt it will be Lockhart.

    When lever comes back in a couple of weeks it will be interesting to see what happens to Hore.  they play similar roles.

    Lever, Frost, Hore and Hibbo in the same back 6?  could work

    Steady mobility rather than pace but runs in possession to space. That's how I see Hore. He reminds me of Brett Lovett at about the same body size, but a better mark in the congestion of the field, these days. Not quite ready for direct comparison with Brett but definitely getting there. Thus, he may well be Mr Reliable, too.

    It’s always a compelling narrative to see players who work bloody hard for their opportunity, and then seize their chance.

    Lockhart and Hore play like they know what a big deal it really is, and you can just see how grateful they are for the opportunity, and how much they respect it.

    I really like both of these guys. They definitely add value to the squad.

    Exactly why  Petracca needs a rest with Casey, imo.

    I like them both. Hore seems like a good fit for our eventual best backline.

    I can see both Lockhart and Hore holding their spot in our best 22 even when guys like Lever, May, Hannan, AvB come back in.

    Wonderful goal that really capped Hore’s rapid improvement in disposal since round 1. Sticking his tackles too. Well done.

    Lockhart just does some real footballer things - holds some good marks, bursts from packs, reads the bouce of the ball. A bit down from last week and he has to hit more targets to do more damage but he’s such a change from the rest of our battlers who usually get the half forward jobs.

    He's got a bit of  'Go',  in him.

    Indeed. Scores were level and with 49 seconds to go. At the centre ball-up Max's double effort sent us forward, Viney bustled a trademark tough clearance inside 50, a brilliant ground ball get from Hunt and his pinpoint handball to Hore who had found space running toward goal and his sublime composure in the "moment of truth" as he steadied and kicked a classic sausage roll from 50 - a sight to behold! With 18 seconds to go he had put us level with GC and given us a slim chance of winning. Which we did. What Marty did cannot be over-adulated. It should be remembered especially by Demons for the ages. His goal was a watershed moment. Not just in the game but in the season...

    Battlers by my intentions was players not versed with natural skills but they battle on.  Big hearts.  Battle on.  Key going despite adversity.  Neither are naturally gifted.  

    Petracca and a few more could learn from them about the struggle to realise your dream and then finally have it.   I was a fan of them both as VFL Players.  So DD LOL you caveman.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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?
