Might need to have a lay down Harmesy, you've made way in the side for J.Wagner.

I am lying down reading this but it isn’t helping

    Wasn’t J Wagner recruited purely on being a lethal kick.

    Hope he shows it tomoz.

    He’s been pretty lethal in the past, sadly lethal to us though. ?

    He is lethal at kicking it out on the full

    Thought that Josh played a respectable game last night.  Didn't star, but held his own and took some good intercept marks.

    There is a nice little moment in this pre-game video on the MFC website of Wagners inclusion being announced to the players.  It think his selection really reinforces good team culture - you train hard and show some form and you will get picked.  Combined with the Bailey Fristch non selection, it's a timely reminder of the standards now in place at the MFC.

    Yeah he did well I thought. Certainly better than anything Harmes has done recently and with Hibberd sore he's bound to get another gig. 

    Happy for him.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
