Agree re Garlett. Hard to know how to judge that game. he did kick 3 but critical errors prob coast 3 more. He stays for now.

But too early to dump JKH he wasnt our worst. Id give a Hannon a week off instead as he clearly wasnt ready. Preuss played a shocker on the weekend so I wouldnt be picking him either.ย

GCDee ?? ย Spargo stays in??? ย No way


Out O Mac, Frost, Stretch, Wagner

otherwise know as a Defense transplant.ย 

Frost stiff but donโ€™t think we can play hore May lever and Hibbo with him as well.ย 

Given JKH has not played a senior game this year I didnโ€™t think he was too bad. I actually thought Spargo wasnโ€™t that bad either. At least they try and get the ball at a contest, unlike you know who.ย

No way T Mac will get dropped

Youse are all kidding

He should be though, he's offered nothing all season. Or move him to the wing, but it looks like he's lost his running capacity this year.ย 

In: lever, may, hore, ANB, Salem (all best 22 so not just reactionary to a loss)

Out: tmac, omac, Wagner, garlett and stretch. Fritsch moved up the ground to try and find some form.

TMac still carrying the foot injury. Red line him for the season I reckon.

I suspected there would have to be at least one fool suggest Frost be dropped. If Frost were to be dropped, which wonโ€™t happen by the way, there would never have been a player dropped previously that has come off such a solid bank of games. Last nightย he soundly beatย Tex Walker, a 400 careerย goal kicker, and you want him dropped. WTF.ย

I actually thought Spargo was decent.....


The idea of rushing back players who have been out for long periods is just nuts.Season is gone, so stop the bloody desperation selections and only pick players on form.

Hannan proved it, and JKH to a lesser extent.

May played well, so he deserves the recall. Lever has not. I really hope he plays at least once more in the 2's to find some form.

Dont risk underdone players when the season is already over.ย

Frost has been excellent all year in a Blitzkrieged Backline. In fact I reckon he will be top 6 in the B&F !

Serious question, but is there a compelling reason to go to this game? Collingwood home game, any general admin tickets go to their coffers. Weโ€™re also likely to lose.ย 

I feel this could be an 80-20 crowd split this game.

I'm not going for the reason above and as a protest against Goodwin and the insipid culture of the club and this playing group.

Also if suggest not risking lever and may now that there is nothing to play for. Why not ease them back over three or four weeks?

Get along to Casey where we play the Pies on Sunday. Good chance of a win and the bacon and egg rolls are wonderful. :)

Out: One trick pony Viney, Omac and JKH

In: May, Hore and Salem

Jesus.

Viney finally starting to find some form. Last game he looked fitter and able to do more and last night I thought he was one of our best.

I suspect Hannan and Kennedy-Harris were brought in one week earlier than planned so that next week we can bring in another tranche of formerly injured players. Hannan didn't look ready but Iย thought Kennedy-Harris was good. It is questionable whether it is wise to bring in all of Salem, Hore, May and Lever - 4 defenders - at once, even though all of them deserve their place in the team. Nevertheless, given where our season is at, I would bring them all in and omit O McDonald, Stretch, J Wagner and Spargo. Fritsch finally gets the chance to go forward in place of Spargo.

Spargo could count himself unlucky as he was much better than Hannan, but he (Hannan) needs a second game before we judge him too harshly.ย 

Neal-Bullen, if he's ready, will have to wait another week. It's not like he has been dominating when he's been in the side and I think four unforced changes at once is enough.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven Mayย 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salemย  ย 

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
