If it were legal, Caleb Daniels value would increase. Imagine how high Preuss could toss him. 

He could practice tossing Charlie

    I inquired into players making a human pyramid once before and was informed it was against the rules for players to stand on each other’s shoulders in front of the goals. I thought I had successfully come up with a way to hack the game.

    You are correct Ethan. They cannot piggy back or intentionally lift a teammate or pyramid up to increase the chances of touching the kick for goal. Having said that, I'd like them to try the Aussie Eurovision contestant's balancing pole

    That is not positive - Preuss is needed.

    We play better with him in the side imo. Gives us something different up forward and big support for Gawn. He is in our best 22.

    Me too dazzler. Always love seeing new players and i didn't like Petty getting only the one game last year. Exciting.

    How do you see them playing Petty?

    I suspect they may play him as the lose man, goal keeper role Frosty has been playing allowing him to take Darling or Kennedy Kennedy. Good hands and reads the ball well by all accounts. Not sure how good his kicking is but has to be better than Frosty. Gig challenge for Frosty and OMac. If Petty plays well and keeps his spot, one of those players will come out for Lever.

    Pretty much just answered for me.

    Petty's kicking is very neat and clean. Go watch his under 18s highlights and you will see someone who ises the ball extremely well.

    Ok, so what have we done here. A couple of running machines, and a couple to give some flexibility. Preuss is one dimensional. Have a look at Viney’s words during the week, I sense that these lads have a point to prove here. West Coast aren’t travelling all that well, and they bring in a guy who they say will only play 60% game time. Smacks of arrogance. This game will will go down to the wire, and at $3.70, if you have a lazy $200.............

    No Preuss, so again maxy will be targeted and without proper ruck support. 

    What happened last time we played em with one ruck!!!!!!

    FMD some of these selections do my head in. 

    Preuss is in Perth, isn't he ?

    That's great.

    Our two biggest deficiencies kicking skills and speed, in that order. Petty helps with kicking and Baker with speed.

    What about leaping above the man on the mark like trying to  take a hanger.  Line up several blokes to try in turn in case you don't time it right.

    I have always wondered why players don't propel teammates in the air as they do in rugby line outs, though instead of lifting them lock their hands together and hoist them up like they do in the circus.. Imagine how high a big fella could fling a little fella.       Would make stopping goals a lot easier.

    Is that against the rules?

    Gill will have a problem of how the little fella comes back down to earth,  deepleted of Oxygen.

    I don't think we would take him on a long plane flight for note.

    As someone has said,  maybe Oscar is out...  or maybe Gawn flays forward.

    Maybe de Tracta is out ?

    I believe that Preuss could possibly play. Tom Hickiey  WCE is their ruckman and named as an emergengy and could come in to double team with Vardy.  Preuss would have to travel with the team.and could play regardless and he is our insurance for Gawn. Petty to play key back  and Omac to be replaced by Preuss  I hope.   Why would Preuss be an  emergency? How lucky is OMAC? 

    Can't wait to see Oskar Baker play.

    It’s ok the umpires will just give you a warning for it, then the AFL will come out in support of the umpires claiming they made the right call in the spirt of the game, then the AFL will hand a whopping great fine to all the players involved in the pyramid scheme claiming they brought the game into disrepute.

    Sounds a lot like our 'not guilty' tanking fine of $500k!

    The AFL  may be upset they missed out on the pyramid scheme. Some people made a lot of money from those things in the 80s, from what I remember.

    Scrapping the barrel here I fear. Neither Oscar or Harrison have done enough consistently at VFL level to warrant a call up. But these are desperate times so let’s hope they put in blinders or at least contribute.

    We excel at going ugly inside 50. The challenge is to get it in quick enough so that the forward line is not clogged up

    That's the key element and IMO unless he gets the late call up probably why Pruess may be out.

    Need to be winning the ground balls inside 50, Big Pruess lacks mobility and could be a very dewy night in Perth if tonight is any indication

    Yep it’s cold here tonight that’s for sure...much colder and more dewy tomorrow night also...looking forward to it.

    Agree on Preuss

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
