Hawthorn paying juicy odds. I have a feeling it might be worth a swing.

Nice way to soften the blow if we get rolled.

Anybody else super impressed with levers' on field and individualised leadership after May went down?

I was amazed and very proud Lever is a fantastic addition to our future

The extra coin he earns and the 2 first rounders we used ARE the price of TEAM leadership on top of his ability.

Same as for Maysie.
Leadership Really Is priceless and both Trades are Giving us back in spades with our team defence ethos.

All players are now looking team first and look how the side  is performing together.

Helps add also when your top players are week after week performing up to their ability.
 

Also helps when you have 6/8 top liners who are genuine impact players who change the results of games when they perform at a top level.

Hence the dilemma in Coaches votes and our top 6 in Demonland!

    I'm guilty of both these errors, but which is worse? Jordan for Jordon? or Swallow for Sparrow?

    Jordan, for sure.

    Nothing wrong with calling Swallow Sparrow!

    Yes look apart from some key distinctions such as:

    • Sparrow belongs to the Family: Passeridae while swallows are members of the Family: Hirundinidae.

    • Taxonomic diversity is much higher in sparrows than in swallows.

    • Swallows are bigger and heavier than sparrows.

    • Sparrows have a stocky body while swallows have an elongated body.

    • Swallows make mud nests, but sparrows never use mud.

    • Swallows usually fly around water bodies whereas sparrows prefer to fly around terrestrial ecosystems.

    • Wings are characteristically elongated in swallows but not in sparrows.

    Once upon a time a Swallow at the dees might have been a nice edition but I'm quite happy with our Sparrow especially if he has higher taxonomic diversity.

    Completely staggering the confidence of a decent proportion of Hawks supporters on their board.  They are sitting second last, and are playing against a team who is flying, but are still confident of a win.  Their prolonged recent periods of success must've given them all a case of HFCSS, which is the exact opposite of MFCSS.

    Well I reckon it is a bit of a danger game for us. We would’ve been up for the Cats game (and given our 4 quarter effort we were), throw in that our general down back is out with a fractured eye socket and that ANZAC Eve might be on the minds of some players.........not as confident this week as I was against the Cats.

    If we mean business this year we will beat the dorks, but we need to start well to shut their deluded fans up and stifle any sniff of them getting a run on.

    anyone who thinks BBB is not in our best 22 as a walk up is kidding themselves. he could still kick 60 goals this season, two injuries in an 8 year career doesnt make u injury prone. and yes, i believe he'll get up for the tiges

    Definitely agree this is a danger game.  A real test of the maturity we have heard the players mention.  This is a textbook game for the old MFC to drop, see Fremantle and Sydney last year.  Hopefully the new MFC can take care of the lesser teams without fuss.

    This is a huge test for the maturity of the team, we have been guilty of drinking our own bathwater in previous seasons but a loss to the Hawks this week then coming up against the reigning premiers we could be looking at 4-2 very quickly and back into the pack. Ultimately what is getting us wins is pure hard work and working for each other. If we continue that attitude we will get more wins than losses.

    I think we will get the job done.

    May out us big, but we still held off the cats without him.

    Our midfield is simply dominating as is Max.

    Tmac is in good form as is Fritta. Kozzie to get a few more. Jackson to have a big game and its all over.

    I agree. I think he will be selected for the tigers game. Nice spanner in the works for richmond.

    I think we have been on the favouring end for most rounds this year, so was bound to turn at some time. See what happens!

    Could be a sore player, giving consideration to list management and the shorter turnaround against the Tigers 6 v 8 day break

    Fritter out for 2

     

    With Fritsch out.

    I wonder do they bring in a tall like Mitch Brown?

    Or perhaps just go with Sparrow as the replacement and play Melksham deeper (I think this the most likely). 

    Training injury. You've got to be kidding.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. 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?
