Well, where do we start?

Jake Lever replaces Marty Hore (collar bone) ✅

Max Gawn replaces Tom McDonald (knee) ✅

Oscar McDonald replaces Harry Petty (concussion) ✅

 

Lever for Petty

Gawn for T Mac

JKH for Hore

Jordon or Baker for Lewis - if suspended

 

Back to Fortress Marvel. Bring anyone in, we are  untouchable there.?


Obviously need to replace some injuries (Hore, Petty, Tmcd) and bring back Lever and Gawn.  

Likely ins are definitely Gawn & Lever.  Would love to give Bedford a run to show how desperately vital a small forward is. 

Hibberd  May  Lever
Salem Frost Lewis
Fritsch  Viney  Brayshaw 
Petracca  Weid  Hannan
Bedford  Preuss Hunt
Gawn Harmes Olive r
Jones Lockhart Dunkley Anb

Key missing - Jetta Melksham Tmcd Hore Vandenburg JSmith

Zac Fisher played out the game and appeared unaffected. Low impact. Lewis cops a fine at worst despite his record.

Agree $1000 fine at worst

Hard to argue with that. Let's keep Preuss in.

Frost forward

Tried that. Lets work with what he's good at

agreed

(now you watch - christian always goes suspension-hunting after a pies loss...lewis to cop a week or two guaranteed)

are we 100% sure that gawn will be right to go? will they bring jetta back despite his form looking less than ideal in the magoos?

IN: lever, gawn, j wagner
OUT: t mac, hore, petty

if lewis goes then you'd expect baker would be back in or jordon may debut

tbh i'd probably take either of those over j wagner, but they might want extra mid-size defensive coverage

Agree with all this except Oscar. Surely Josh Wagner comes in before him.

So delayed concussion symptoms Carlton doctors will claim, 4 weeks for Lewis?

Gawn for Tommy and Lever for Hore the obvious ones.

Not sure he had much of a game at Casey but I’d love to put Baker back in on the fast Etihad track and leave Fritsch at half back if Petty doesn’t get up.

JKH?? If we have to I guess, but are we really expecting him to get another go next year?

Yes baker back. His second half was good yesterday and I feel is better suited to AFL then VFL. 


Could be on my own here, but I'm not sold on bringing Gawn back to play against a running team on a quick hard deck with his injury.

IN: Lever, JKH, Baker

OUT: TMac (inj), Petty (conc), Hore (inj)

JKH for Lockhart

Try Dunkley in the middle for a couple of short stints

Agree- Lockhart looks tired. Lack of preseason is catching up. No point in burning him out.

 

I thought Lockhart was more involved in contests than Hannan. Id have JKH for either.

How close is Nev to a call up? Is 1 VFL game enough? Jetta into the backline, Fritsch forward?

Goodwin hinted at two weeks.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
