Out: Hibberd, Keilty, Garlett and possibly Melksham

In: Pruess, ANB, Tim Smith and unfortunately Wagner.

The well is dry...

EDIT: forgot about Lewis. Jeffy might have to stay..

    Tracc was good, Brayshaw poor but got heaps of it and won't be dropped 

    Don't think we can replace Omac at this stage, so he'll stay in

    in-   Preuss, Anb, Smith, Baker, C.Wagner

    we're going to have to do some player shuffling to cover the likely losses of Lewis and Hibberd in defence. Fritsch and Hunt to play as defenders instead of forwards would be my move, as we don't really have much defensive stock in reserve. I want Garlett gone, but he'll probably be lucky we've had a few injuries and we wont want too many changes in 1 week, but he looks cooked to me.

    Petty’s form has been good. OMac has to go.

    Hibberd, Melksham and Lewis are almost certain to miss.  You would think Kielty is out in favour of Preuss as well. 

    Given West Coasts tall forwards, I wonder if we might see Petty come back in.  He was emergency today and has been playing well. 

    Given Spargo was sitting out today as an emergency as well, I suspect he comes in.  That leaves one. 

    ANB seems likely as the player with runs on the board, but I would really like to see them take a risk and give Baker a shot.  He's more risk/reward.  He can hit the scoreboard, but won't do the grinding work and assists that ANB provides. 

    Disagree with Melksham out.

    then we could justify calling our team a bloody joke.

    Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith very stiff....

    Jeffy has given great service but maybe time to say thanks for everything.

    Weid is a certainty for Perth along with Preuss.

    My guess is Tom Mac down back with the above up forward.

    Let's face it we're desperate.

    Just to put some balance in about the Casey game. Essendon were devoid of talls. Preuss had a day out and deservedly dominated. They might be on top of the ladder but Bombers VFL side have played the bottom sides.. Coburg, Frankston North ...

    Miracles do happen but hell... we'd need one to get close to the eagles in Perth

     could be wrong, but it looked like a broken foot to me.  I can't see him playing next week with that.

    He came back on. Gingerly but still. If his foot was broken he wouldn’t get back on the ground.

    Tmac said in the post match it was quite greasy out there which caused a lot of fumbles.

    I’d give him one more chance.

    Whatever happens, I’ll end up inebriated.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
