    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. 

    Ins May, lever, Salem, Neal-Bullen, Hore

    Outs OSCAR!, Tmac, Wagner, Spargo, Hannon

    otherwise know as a Defense transplant. 

    Frost stiff but don’t think we can play hore May lever and Hibbo with him as well.

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

    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. 

    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 won’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 night he soundly beat Tex Walker, a 400 career goal kicker, and you want him dropped. WTF.

    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.

    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. We’re also likely to lose. 

    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. :)

    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 I 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. 

    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.

    • 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.

      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?
