    With the above - happy with the changes overall, although I reckon Lockhart is a little stiff.  Thought he had been pretty good.

    I like the Brown inclusion as is smart enough to just play his role, and can do so up the ground away from Weideman.

    Bit mystified by the Josh Wagner inclusion, and same with Oscar, although Oscar coming in might mean we push Tomlinson back to a wing.

    Rivers has speed.

    Looks like we went with some experience, though.  Jones, Gawn and Brown bring plenty to the table in that regard.

    On the face of it...

    I don’t like it.

    Lockhart dropped?! Horrendously harsh IMO, the more so given he was surely a good match up for Butler.

    Aside from Rivers.... so much for the "bringing in some pace/speed" call.

    Lost two players with a bit of toe for one.

    Saints will be licking their chops here and while we are always a chance, they 'should' win this one with relative ease me thinks.

    No idea what Lockhart did wrong to be dropped. Agree that we need an extra tall down back given Saints are quite top heavy up forward. Brown can’t do worse than Tmac and Harmes, well maybe if they played him in a correct position he may perform. 
    Overall a big meh and god help us if we get smashed, as I suspect we will.

    Don’t really care much for the game, until Goodwin goes we’re going nowhere quick. Just looking forward to seeing Browntown kicking a back.

    Saints will belt us using the same method as every other time.

    Speed, non stop running and 100% defensive effort.

    Reckon this is a 40+ point loss coming up, and the heat will be right back on the coach.

    Old binman saying:

    When you need a win, bring omac in

    Might be his last chance, bin.  

    Saints play a tall forward line - they have named Battle, King, Membrey and Marshall there, with Ryder in the ruck, so I can understand his selection and our need for a little more height down there.

    But with him OOC at the end of the year, he might get a few games here to show us why he deserves another contract.

    I have it on good authority that Tmac and Harmes have been put on JobKeeper

    With the season and possibly Goody’s career on the line, this is a mind boggling selection.

    That is the most utterly disgusting team we have picked all year. The ins include slow wet wags, I like the way they drop Lockhart and don't bring in someone to play on Butler. What is going to be. Tomlinson ?????? St Kilda would be wetting themselves looking at that side.

    Happy with the changes.   
    O Mac to the resting ruckman 

    May to King

    Wagner deserves his chance by the sounds of things and surely can’t do any worse than what Harmes has been dishing up.  I’d also rather Rivers over Lockhart

    O.Mac, Spargo and J.Wagner in that already 3 passengers. Worst side we have put in all year.

    • 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.
