Bennell is finished mate, no intensity what so ever.

Trains well though.

I tend to agree. i'd give him one more and a full pre-season to see where he is at. Coming off a multi-year hiatus, need to give him the benefit of doubt that his first year was always going to be like this.

Basically has been injury free, played a few games etc - we all knew he wasnt going to tear the house down.

    120 point spread for me we could win by 10 goals or lose by 10 goals but +1 would be fine thanks.

    Is that 17 changes in 3 games?

     

     

    Nothing to see here, all under 

    Basically we need to be ruthless and cut quite a few from the list almost to the point of rebuilding. At this stage we seem to be going in circles.

    People said the same things re 6 changes before the St. Kilda game. Thought it would be obvious to most the side looked flat and tired during the Swans game and now it's a four day break, needed a freshen up. Can't understand why Lockhart is not playing though.

    Bennell is a punt. The club haven’t risked a whole lot but there’s plenty of upside if he comes right. There are a few others on the list who have hit their ceiling and should be let go before Bennell. Worth persevering with for another year imv.

    Probably the best lot of changes we have made this year, however Smith should not be in the squad, and he should be in the forward line if selected. Unfortunately Goodwin has made these changes too late in the year when he really needed to make them earlier in the year, his biggest fault is that he is too slow to make change. It gives me relief to see Jones, Spargo, Wagner and Omac out of the side,  4 massive spuds [I still love Jones though]

    Finally we may not have a slow plodder on the wing for once!! Ain't it amazing to see Goodwin elect genuine wingers to play on the wing

    Yep and yep. Not quite sure why its taken so long to inject some pace though

    His intensity is a worry but he seems to be the only one who can hit a target in the fwd line

     

    19 hours ago, Elegt said:

    No. I think they are great changes and you see these players will give 100% instead of the spuds we had in last week

    Wow you're more confident of a good outcome this week than me.

    What's more they are ever decreasing circles deever and we run the risk of finishing with our head totally up own [censored].

    i just can't see how we're going to compete with their depth of midfielders

    fyfe, mundy, walters, brayshaw, serong, cerra

    vs

    oliver, petracca, viney, langdon

    we're going to be VERY reliant upon melksham, avb, anb, tomlinson, baker and perhaps even salem and rivers contributing well

    Does anyone else question anb being in the team?

    weekly but he wasnt the worst player out there last week and probably deserves his spot for this week only. + no other alternatives (i imagine spargo is more of a management than a dropped) i like his pressure. i want to see him get some continuity in the side

    What do we lose from Jones, O Mac, Harmes, Wagner, Brown and Spargo - very little based on recent output.  Gus is the only one that hurts but he has had an OK season only

    coming in with have experience and hardness with Vanders and Hibbo. excitement and speed with Kozzi and Bedford. and who knows with Baker, Hunt and Pruess

    Go DEMONS!

After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
