    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.

    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)

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
