    Shocking team selections.

    ANB and Melksham stay in after having 0 influence on the scoreboard and also defensive pressure.

    Hibbered missing after ankle soreness. There was whispers before the game last week he would potentially miss due to his ankle. They play him on Walter's and he kicks 3 goals and wins them the game. We had a fit Lockhart and Jetta ready to go.

    Hope we get absolutely smashed.

    Agree with all of that except the last sentence

    Must have played a blinder in a scratch match somewhere in last few days. Got me beat. We have a shocking/pathetic forward line HOWEVER we have played well at the Gabba so there is some hope, maybe.

    There forward line will smash us in the air. And when it hits the ground Green will beat us. Not confident. Im sure Goodwin is throwing darts at selection. He has no idea who our best 22 are

    How the hell does ANB get a game. It is a joke of a side.

    They have made 8 changes and not many sides win when making 8 changes but GWS will put that to the sword on saturday. Pile up your fridge and get ready for the Goodwin thread.

    Changes are very beige granted they probably right some things that didn’t work last time. 

    Gee TMac is on the outer. Hoping Nev can show them what it means to play every game like its your last.

    ANB you can forgive being first game back, Melky.... not so much even with the  tagged role he played last week.

    Yep and I’m going to the game so that will be fun. 
     

    I know I’m lucky to be able to go to a game by bloody hell its the first time in a long time I’m not looking forward to it or excited to be going. 
     

    Sad but true.

    It is obvious to me that he is injured.

    Sorry Dazzling I have blocked out the previous week... Yeap he’s very lucky.

    Unless Harley is injured you’d think they should get him some more game time this season ahead of the ANBs.

    Dropping Preuss and Bedford is the right call.

    Replacing Preuss with Brown rather than TMac is justifiable but questionable. Have to query where TMac is at.

    Replacing Bedford with Spargo is fair enough, it's not like Hannan was in any better form when he was in the side.

    I love Neville and am glad to see him back but there is no reasonable way he should be in front of Lockhart based on 2020 output. It doesn't make sense for us to be naming Lockhart as an emergency if he's injured or unfit. I do not understand the Lockhart omission and continue to disagree with it.

    I'm happy with the selections. It's not an inspiring lineup but the players currently out of the team were all given chances and didn't perform. Swapping all of our forwards every week doesn't help anyone, so I'm glad to see slightly more continuity.

    I envy you for being able to go demonox. Even if there are games here next year I doubt we will be able to go.

    Smith and ANB given games makes my blood boil. Jetta should have played last week in the wet conditions. Selection is a joke and has been all season.

    He has to have some sort of injury.

    Does Nev go to Greene 'titan'??? he's got the physical strength and game smarts, Greene is not lightning.

    Surely we wouldn't play Hunt or Salem on him.

    Maybe Smith but I hope not.

    • 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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
