They only have one tall. I assume frost gets Mihocek. May to Elliott. Omac is surely surplus to needs this week. Hire hopefully late in for Omac. Although I suspect Lever a chance to miss.

    Winnable game may be lost at selection. I hope not, it would be great to beat Collingwood as they run to the finals.

    Stupid decision not to play Hore, as it was last week. You have to ask - what the F... is going on?

    Ok so Oscar gets a game in front of HORE

    Whos has been very good to outstanding in most of his games

    CLUB IS A BASKET CASE

    And yet people get called all sorts of things when you criticize the Club here. I just assume they do not realise you can love the jumper, the team and the player and at the same time hve little or no respect for the Club based on 55 years of failure and mismanagement

    You can’t build a players trade worth playing them in the twos...

    I wonder if they'll try Wills (a mid) up fwd - 192cm

    Magden also 192. a defender they might play fwd as they have Roughhead, Scharenberg and Howe down back

    So I reckon O Mac will take one of those 2 donkeys.  talk about your mouth watering match ups!

    Easy peasy!  We are going all out for a Casey finals berth.

    Hore helps Casey's cause!

    but ..........................!

    The only reasonable explanation I can think of for OMac getting a game along with Frost, Lever and May is that one of them is going to play forward/ruck.

    That does not sit well with me.

    Hore should be playing, OMac shouldn't, and we should still be able to find someone to relieve Gawn.

    I'd argue playing the individual in question is harming his trade value.

    Given the weather forecast, Collingwood’s form and our form the clubs bottom line is going to take a massive hit tomorrow hard to see more than 35,000 there. As we seemed to have learned nothing this year and wet weather footy on the cards I am predicting another easy loss coming up.

    Are we trying to have the slowest and oldest wingers in the comp - maybe ever?

    YEP and a natural inside on baller in the back line

    Is Goodwin trying to Destroy Brayshaws' career?

    Hopefully Hore will be a late in. This is a huge opportunity for our mob to show they can play wet weather football. In the wet it becomes a commitment game. This is not coming as a second half surprise. We all know what it's going to be like. In some senses the wet is a leveller. The game is not as quick although skills still count (gulp!) as Richmond showed last week. Bring the right attitude and we could surprise. 

    Hallelujah! I still believe!

    May, Lever, OMac and Frost all named against a short Collingwood forward line, in the wet. Surely there'll be at least one late change?

    My guess is May will play forward and Hore in for OMac.

    I legit cannot in the world find a simple Match up for McDonald.  

    The only reason I can think of is that we are now officially tanking for Noah Anderson. 

    It's an absolute joke that Omac continues to get a game. Yet to find a supporter who thinks he deserves hit spot.

    Then you have the problem as you"ve stated, who the F*** does he match up on?

    • 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?
