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

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFS

Agree completely Binman

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. 

Hand gun Hannan, missed him all year.

Edited by Win4theAges

Hannan has missed a heap of footy and has had no match fitness conditioning through Casey. 

I hope he brings enough value for a couple of snags but I’m more concerned he’ll be underdone and will blow up.

Definitely a strange selection.  JKH is no star obviously, but he has hardened body and is playing for his career.

Should definitely be in for Spargo.

Discombobulation can make you blind. Beware.

Is this a term to do with Discos?

Adelaide with the 3 best possible Ins really: Gibbs, Jenkins and Lynch.

 

The ins are ominous. I predict Walker to get off the chain at hf with his running patterns on omac, set up quite a few goals. We move Frost onto him 1/2. Scores reasonably close and Jenkins bobs up for 4 goals in the 2nd half and seal a runaway win.

5 months later Jenkins nominates the Dees for a trade after a coffee date with Goodwin.

Is being flummoxed the equivalent of being in a state of flux?

I reckon Pyke sees this as a danger game, panicked a bit and back flipped on Gibbs. He sent him away to ‘find some form playing SANFL’ and brought the bloke back in without actually playing in the 2’s. ?

Lynch, of course picked if fit. 

Jenkins has shown the goods to come back in. 

But gibbs is a head-scratcher.

Much like Spargo... 

Preuss should sack his manager....why come to us and never play if he’d gone to the Bulldogs or Saints he’d be getting a game every week

Are you just copy and pasting this in all threads, even ones totally unrelated to your “comment”.

Hmmmm, not so sure...

Gibbs - dropped due to his poor defensive game

Jenkins - very poor forward...has lead boots

Lynch - good player, but someone like Hibbo can really sit on him

And Preuss? No, not in those conditions

It'll be close, but Crows are more settled

I am not close to the Clubs internal workings . Am I missing something in what the club sees in Spargo. I did note some cleverness in his early games but not much else so far.

I have no problem with the three outs, nor with the three ins, but I am amazed that both Spargo and Stretch have remained in the side.

Hopefully both of them put int marked improvements on last week.

You know Gibbs and Jenkins were out of the side because they'd been dropped for poor form, don't you?

And you know that Jenkins is possibly in the top 5 most over-rated AFL players?

40 goals for the past 5 seasons before this year, and all people can say about him his 'he only gets joe the goose goals". One of the top 5 most under-rated AFL players.

Well aware of that, but Gibbs is still a classy player and probably undeserving to be dropped.

Jenkins has SANFL form behind him and is more of a threat that Himmleberg.

Lynch we can both agree on is a good player. I hope he’s a bit under done.

I'm about to blow my lid

Why the complete  F   is Spargo getting a game, someone help me understand???

Three inclusions is a good start Hibberd ,Salem and Hannan. For some reason to see Mitch back is a Godsend because IMO he carries this X Factor. Gets to the ball hard and runs hard, skills are good can definitely kick goals he is very uncanny.

Goody wouldn't bring him in if he thought that Hannah couldn't play his roll. Three class footballers back in the side Great to see.    I would have liked to have seen JKH in as well but you never know could be a late inclusion.

I suspect that it's any combination of these:

- that even though we're not seeing much result, he works hard

- that he does exactly what he's been asked to do in terms of structure, position etc.

- that the club see a long-term future for him, so they're putting games into him at a level that's above VFL

He’s not the only player horribly out of form. I thought he put some good games together last year with intelligent plays and to be fair I don’t see him as overly slow as others do. 

Wouldve been a toss up between him and JKH I reckon but match committee went with Spargo who at least has a few matches under his belt.

re Stretch: maybe, but he wasn't the worse last week, and hopefully if he gets a run at a few games his confidence and his decision-making will improve. Also, it's not as if he's keeping anyone out, KK would be his only/main rival for the role he plays (?)

Happy to see them stick with him, at least for a few more games.

Hannan in without good VFL form is a sign of desperation in my eyes but if he gets in the game early his X-factor could really help us. The other two ins are big for us though, getting some class into the backline will be massively important.

We might start getting our team back over the next few weeks but I fear it's going to be too little too late.

He’s not a rookie, we took him with our second pick in the draft. He showed some promising signs in the JLT.

  • 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?
