Still no Preuss. 

Unbelievable. 

Quite a few very lucky players I reckon.

why recruit a bloke  build up his image, then not play him. Strange!

i watched the first three quarters last week And just got more despondent the more the game went. Just kept coming out of the centre in the third and they got goals! 

Can anyone who watched tell me what the matchup or position changes caused us to start playing with purpose in the forth 

can we play with those positions to start the game this week !!

Go Dees but I am still despondent!

    I’m honestly stunned as to what the FD see in smith over the Weid. He’s played 2 vfl games and dominated in both of them. 

    hasn't exactly "dominated" but they were okay

    The absence of Preuss amazes me ... should be included if only to relieve Max in the bathroom heat of Darwin

    Still one Spargo FFS, he was pathetic!

    Yeah well ASTOUNDING!

    Speaking to a great mate of mine who played almost 200 games many in the red and blue, he said he had never ever seen a small man so lacking in Pace, and Skill for a small man ! This from a VFL /AFL player who should know!

    Astounding!

    Not to mention  sticking with Smith over Weeds
    Pft season done but suffice to say lets get some integrity in selection!

    Baffling!

    I do hope Weid is a late in due to an injury for 1 of the 3 named on the bench. Will be our most balanced looking fwd line all season.

    Mitch Hannan apparently on board to darwin and so is salem 

    I reckon hannan is one of the important players we have been missing this year. 

    I think he's in our best 22 and great when firing, but he isn't a consistent performer yet and i recall him being dropped at least two times last year. The oft remarked piece of cliche/wisdom is a players stocks grow more rapidly when they're out injured.

    Salem, Hannan and Hibberd all bring much needed experience back into our side. The Hannan selection to me is smart, get him and straight into AFL fitness.

    Was it really that simple, did they rest anyone in the centre ?

    +414 games experienc net... amazing to think Petty, Lockhart and Wagner total only 11. Hopefully going to get some much needed leadership and direction.

    Why does Lever look like he just got out of a prisoner of war camp? Puny, pale, unwell-looking. His arms and legs look wasted. Why hasn’t he been in the gym building up his physique in the 12 months he’s been injured/in rehab?

    Crows with Gibbs,  Lynch and Jenkins in.... Lynch is a big in,  hopefully underdone 

    We should get their fitness guy, Lynch only misses a week with a hamstring???

    Three really good additions.  Hopefully they add some experience, polish and skill in their three respective roles.  We  might see up to 11 changes from round 8-9 to round 12-13.

    I'm not one usually to get too discombobulated about selections but i'm bamboozled by Spargo getting a gig ahead of JKH. Flummoxed even.

    Was an emergency after struggling at VFL level, gets a late call up and puts in a stinker.

    Maybe genetics? Dustin Fletcher was never a beefcake

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
