Out - Hibbo, O Mac, Hannan

In - Lockhart, Fristch, Harmes (playing mid or HF)

Tomo, May and Lever enough talls at the back against the swans

Out: Oscar, Hibberd 

In: Fritsch, Harmes

Harmes to play through the midfield, don't need him down back with Rivers in the side.

 

MEMO TO ALL: 

I, and I assume most people here, visit this site to read about and discuss FOOTY. In particular the DEMONS. And in this thread, the discussion is intended to be about the PLAYERS and what TEAM our beloved club will field. 

Can we please stop with the [censored] Covid blame-game [censored], it’s just exhausting. Please shut up, unless discussing the above, or move the dog-chasing-its-tail nonsense to another thread or another platform altogether. 
 

Thanks in advance, 

D.A.G

Pretty much spot on for my changes, no match up for Oscar so he goes out. Jetta instead of Lockhart is a chance, he was given a positive mention after the scratch match. 

After a stirring win like that I think they’ll try not to ring in too many changes.

Anyone know if the weather in Cairns will be as oppressive as Darwin? 

26 degrees with 80% humidity at kick off. And we have to all it all again 4 days later. Very concerned we'll either drop a winnable game in Cairns or put in a listless display against GWS (as per Port game). These blokes are fit, but can they overcome this fixture cram?

I'm giving this side an absolute out/excuse if we miss finals. Alice - Cairns - Cairns in 9 days while other sides have mostly stayed in QLD.

Bulldogs - 10 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

St Kilda  - 9 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

North - 11 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

Brisbane - Will leave QLD twice for the entire season FCS!!

This season is a bit of a video game if you ask me. Just make it up as they go.

 

 

 

I'm not giving this side any excuses whatsoever. If we make finals Goody is safe if we don't, he needs to go! Along with some underperforming players PERIOD! No more what ifs, shoulda, coulda, It's pure and simple. We have an excellent injury list, we need to be canny in selections and ring in rotations. ALL GAMES ARE WINNABLE and we need to consolidate! No more Bloody excuses!

I’m with you on no excuses. That should be printed on the wall of our changing rooms wherever we play. 

But barring us losing the rest of our games badly Goodwin will be coaching us next year so you should probably just get used to that thought. 

Every game is winnable, and yeah other teams have had it softer for travel but we have had a close to full strength list to choose from every week. Missing finals from this position would be embarrassing.

We don't need another tall.

Also, we need to replace Hibberd with a defender, not someone who plays on the left wing.  Mind you, and just to be balanced, I'm not sure I'd want Michael O'Brien playing on the right wing, either. Not everyone born in Ireland makes a good footballer.

Much more pleasant than Darwin. Around 65%humidity and 23 at kick off is typical for this time of the year.

It can be windy during the day due to the trade winds but these drop off at night

Of course there is the cane toad problem

The sauce of my sauce (let's call him 'the concentrated sauce') informs me that Bennell knows he wont get another senior game until he tests his legs at 100% pace. Seems loathe to run at full speed lest he have another breakdown. Might be psychological fear, or could be a real fear of further injury. Not exactly groundbreaking, but interesting intel nonetheless

Must say in the games I've watched he never really hits top gear.

My sauce is impecable and a true gentleman.

If Harley half fit aint better than Spargo..... Well

Any news regarding a contract for next year?

ANB, Harmes, Fritsch and Smith in.

AvB, Hibberd, Pickett And Hannan out

 

Pickett out.  Didnt replace him with a small forward, but we should beat Sydney regardless.

Where will Joel Smith play  when O Mac/May/Lever are still in the team?

Hibberds replacement by the looks of it.

once again, i for one welcome our new lizard overlords

these changes are...intriguing

all on anb to provide any forward pressure; how many weeks will they give him if he accidentally knocks someone out this week?

i believe it should be 

B: Tomlinson    OMac     Rivers

HB: Salem        May         Lever

C Langdon.      Petracca  Harmes

HF: Fritsch.      Weideman Melksham

FF: Spargo       Brown.     ANB

R: Gawn          Oliver         Viney

INT: Jones Brayshaw Smith (FWD) JWagner

But i can see any combination of Harmes Tomlinson and Smith in any half of the ground except Smith in a wing

It was Oscar Wilde that said people are either charming or tedious. There is no question Picket Fence where you fit!

You've posted the same crap all year. Give it a rest FFS!

  • 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.

    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.
