With May, Lever and Jetta already out, losing Hibberd and Lewis will be difficult to cover. Looks like Fritch and Hunt to the backline.

Hibberd out is going to hurt he was just starting to find something.

Hoping Melk gets up, need to go with the mobile forward line and get the ball in quick and low locking it in. Wouldn't mind big Pruess giving McGovern something to think about by making him earn one

Hibberd out injured. ANB will come in for him as he's the next in line and we don't really have any defenders left uninjured unless we go with Petty.

Keilty out for Smith or Preuss, both kicked goals today and will make us better: Keilty has had no real impact. 

Melksham and Lewis may not come up, if they don't no idea would come in.

 

 

IN Preuss, TSmith, ANB

Out Keilty, hibbo, Omac ( my 6 yo has more body strength than him).

According to commentators we had 6 listed afl players for the 2nd's this weekend.  The rest are injured.

So its slim pickings.

We need a smart game plan going into 50.  what worked the last 2 times and even the GC was not kicking it in high, it was almost ground balls to take their markers out of the play.

The other is shutting down darling, when he plays well  they generally play well.

Either one its my 1 live game a year so hopefully we go for three win H&A wins in the west in a row.


For the love of god T Mac cannot be moved back to defence next week. 3 out of our 8 goals tonight. Maybe that’s the confidence boost he needed. We’ve stemmed haemorrhaging the other way lately, we need to recapture scoring power.

In : Preuss, ANB

Out: Hibbo, Keilty

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

Totally agree chook. Oscar just doesn't man up and keep his opponent accountable.

He completely missed 3 spoils tonight.

Needs to go back to vfl and find his form.

West Coast will monster him if he plays.

Thanks for the input Saty. Where would the changes thread be without you?

 

Been calling for this one for a few weeks but time to try Sparrow back...

Doesn't get enough ball for a mid but has attributes that might be better suited back.

With Jetta, Lewis & Hibberd out nows the time to try it.

In anyone who is fit and able. Only 6 MFC listed players available for Casey today (and still won). Hibberd definitely out and doubt on Lewis and Melksham doesn’t leave a lot. Only outs are the injuries just for stability

Coach loathe to make unforced changes but Pruess was BOG today at Casey.

If we move Hunt to the backline, I will legit chuck a fit. He is our best forward this year by far.

Got myself into a corporate box next Friday night with all the fruit.

Whatever happens, I’ll end up inebriated. 

If I recall my last visit to Optus Stadium, that was the only positive that came out of it. $900 to get drunk, get a Max Gawn cookie, and watch the end of what was really a very good thing while it lasted.

Post like this and others calling players spuds says a lot about a poster's knowledge of the game

Can not stand this sort of comment.

Sure, don't rate a player. But to hope a player who goes and out and gives everything they have for their team (my team - and i assume yours Martin) is injured and is not up for selection for the next game is pathetic. I hate it. With a passion.

I have always hated demons fans who bag our own. And i have called out many at games over the last four decades.

Demonland is like a virtual outer. And like the outer if you are are true fan there are lines you don't cross. And the number one line you don't cross is satisfaction when one of ours is hurt. And you crossed it.

I have had no issue with  your posts Martin. And in my nearly 10 years on Demonland i have ignored a very small number of posters. But  in the immortal words of L7 you have just made my [censored] list

Edited by DV8

Regardless of who's out, we have to replace like for like. If it's Lewis and Hibberd, then we've got to find a way of either bringing in two backs, or playing others in those positions.

Given that Lever, May and Jetta are already out, the cupboard is getting very very bare. With Hibberd gone, it'll mean that 4 of our first choice back 6 are out.

 

No team could cover having their entire backline out.   We are depleted.

We would need a 1998 like Perth  miracle to win next week....    but never say never.

West Coast will kick 30 goals against that backline.

  • 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?
