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.

    much preferred to the 3:20 time slot which in winter means it's cold and dark by games end.

    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.

    • 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.
