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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
