Dayne Beams officially ruled out with hip injury.

I think the kid they will have coming in (Sier) might be a better bet than Beams at the moment, whose form line hasn't been great.

Sier will have a lot of clubs chasing him in the off season if he can't nail down a permanent spot.

Would suit us with Jones coming near the end.

    Agreed. Offer Sier a 3 year deal and see what we can land.  Oliver Harmes Viney and one more bull. Though an outside running skilled mid is the Priority!!

    No Taylor Adams, Elliot, Dunn, wells, Beams, Langdon. Question mark over Cox and Grundy but they reckon Grundy will play. 

    After just beating Sydney Bd losing to freo at home they are certainly not in their best form

    thats right, I’m getting my hopes up already!

     

    Yes Definitely Dub keep your hopes high. I have a really good feeling. Cant wait to smash them.

    Would they bring him straight in to AFL? He hasn’t played for 5 weeks. Richmond also made him look like a superstar in the prelim.

    If playing jeffy,  or other passer by,  gets us artificially up the ladder...   and cost us a  Hayden Young,  Lachie Ash,  or a Dylan Stephens/Caleb Serong.  I will go  berko,  after this wasted season.  

    Too much wasted already,  to give up a top 6 pick for something lesser.... unless we traded say a pick 4 or 5,  for two 1st Rnd picks.

     

    And a classy sounding forward... Dylan Williams.

     

    Surely by now we recognise that this type of thinking is fools gold. Much better to get our best side on the park and build some momentum and confidence going into next year.

    Bloody hope the Bucks vs Mick feud will take the Magpie's minds off the game.

    Get stuck into each other fellas! Don't hold back!

    I don't understand this. Why are grown men feuding?

    They're not - media just pumping up a comment from Buckley who was pragmatically answering a question regarding Malthouse. He was very complimentary in a diplomatic way, whilst also being clear they don't get on... nor should that matter.

    Thanks Radar.   I've been looking for this post, Re the idea of the Pick swaps.   I couldn't find it earlier today.

     

    Of course we would be trying to win all games,  but players who are carrying long-term niggles need to go off to get them right...  Or fixed up by the surgeon.  We don't need to find that old manic form of last year,  now.  It would only be for supporters to hold faith. 

    The longer term skills  &  abilities of our list,  is far more concerning than our early 2019 season form, which is now history.

    We can't manage him in the firsts...

    At Casey he can have long periods off the ground, he's more likely to get a soft tissue injury with the intensity at AFL level.

    Agree, no Lever please.

    Garlett averaging 7 kicks over last 2 seasons. Averaged 1g3b this yr 1g 6b last yr.

    Delusional

    I should have known I needed to do more.

    Garlett can find the footy in the forward line. 9 touches in the 50 last week, 9 against the Eagles three weeks ago. 

    No forward is prolific but he is the closest we have to a functioning forward who can find it in the right places.

    I don’t really care, this season is done and Garlett is probably in his last season in footy. But our forward line has been an absolute disaster this year - not all of it is at the feet of delivery. It is also at the feet of how we set up in the forward line and also how the FD place defensive pressure well above above forward nous. 

    Was there a Goody presser today? Looks like both Lever and May will play should the former get through tomorrow’s session. 

    Simon Goodwin not prepared to write off 2019 as Steven May and Jake Lever look to play

    Add Salem and possibly Hore, the outs will be interesting.

    Based on our weakest/worst 4 players from last week's squad the outs would be:

    1) Wagner - Lever

    2) O Mac - May

    3)  Stretch - Salem

    4) Spargo - Hore

    The last two outs are not like for like so it may not be as simple as that.

    JFK may be in danger, Hannan did nothing (but will remain as he's best 22) and Weid and T Smith are always on the borderline. 

    I have a gut feel one of Hore or Lever doesn't get up.

    Wagner and O Mac are the two certainties. Wagner has actually been serviceable insurance this year.

    That can work if Fritsch moves to the forward line in place of Spargo and Hore takes Fritsch's position in the backline. Alternatively, Fritsch could go to the wing and JKH from the wing to the forward line.

    • 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?
