I'm not.

I hope he plays exactly the re he has all year. And I suspect he will.

Indeed.

In Gus and Max’s podcast with Harmes, they talked about players all having a second position/role. Guess we might find out today whose second position is “inside mid”.

I suspect Viney will just be covered by half forwards such as Melksham and Kozzy spending more time in the middle.

Melksham and Gus to spend time in the guts you’d think

Really looking forward to see how our forward structure works today.

Mfc has done an extroadinary job in creating one of the best backlines in the comp.

Clubs would score big against us and now we concede very little.

Our midfield seems to be going from strength to strength.

Now lets get our fwd line doing the same.

To be honest its actually being firing quite well. We have been scoring well despite not having a big ff kicking  a bag or two every week.

We have also been quite inaccurate.

Having said all this we have the firepower to kick 100 points plus every week.

Just need to find the right combo.

    Would be interesting to see how Baker does at HFF. See what he is like around goals

    no risks with Viney. Good to see

    Brayshaw should go nowhere now that he's finally found a good spot on the wing. Perhaps we can try it when the game is done and shift McDonald to the wing to see what that looks like, but our best side has Brayshaw on the wing.


    Predicting Fritsch to have 10+ scoring shots today. Whether that equates to 3 or 8 goals is up to him

    Another really good test for Baker - if he is the one to replace Viney (although Chandler might have been handy but played the last match with Casey Thurs night). Baker needs another test or two as his genuine pace gives us a three-pronged, full ground speedway (Hunt, 'Baker', Kozzie/Spargo) that is very handy for spacemakers. Enjoy the game, folks. We have got this one.

    With Ben Brown finally coming in I'm having a happy moment remembering how worried so many people were that our season would be over by now.

    Some people were even getting aggressive at anyone who stayed positive after the loss to the Dogs in the pre-season.

    Keep the run going, Demons - you could actually change personalities!

    Viney... having a good run of form and ... The foot

    Has the curse returned

    nah I'm confident it's nothing serious. He's obviously a late withdrawal due to soreness.  so it can't be too bad. I'm sure he'd play if it was against anyone else.  Using the week to rest him.

    Viney out (Toe) Baker in, Jones sub

    Hopefully not a serious flare-up and Viney's withdrawal is just precautionery

    Can;t see Baker playing anywhere other than wing so reckon Gus plays inside

    Perhaps Brown goes into Melksham's spot and Melksham goes into the middle (at least more often)?


    Whilst late outs are disappointing any sign of  any level of soreness related or near his foot we need to back Viney off. Hopefully that is all it is. Interesting to select Baker over Jones even with the late out. Hopefully we don’t mess with Brayshaw on the wing just as he is getting it. I would prefer to see Pickett rotated through the pivot more with Melksham and have Baker play half forward and relieve as third winger. This is the challenge with Casey playing Thursday and us Sunday that I suspect if both were today Sparrow would have bee named emergency and been played. Instead he had to play Thursday to avoid missing a week without a full game of conditioning.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
