Id call for Melksham out but Fritta may be suspended, others will howl me down and Goodwin will never drop him so there.

    After what Cunnington did today I’m mortified about what the combination of Hickey and JPK do next week.

    We are already a bad clearance side but I can see that getting ugly quickly.

    I’d seriously look at bringing in Harmes to tag him because we can’t afford for what happened today to happen next week.

    The likes of ANB and Spargo will need a rocket too because we know Sydney will try to play keepings-off to beat our zone (like North did for much of today) so our pressure cannot slip one iota.

    We’ve beaten Sydney once at the MCG since 2001. They are officially now our number 1 bogey team and have given us all sort of problems over the last 15 years as we’ve won just twice against them.

    I guess the big question is does T Mac remain down back or does Petty come in to replace Tomlinson.

    Our midfield depth is an issue for me.

    Viney always has this foot problem.

    When Oliver is held like he was for three qrts Trac has do do it all.

    Jones is way past his midfield days.

    Jordan is good but if Trac or Oliver are injured...we are cooked.

    More games into Sparrow.

    Who else is there?

    Sparrow in for Baker (assuming Viney doesn't get up)

    Petty for Tomlinson (or do we go Majak for some X factor?)

    Chandler for Jones

    If Fritch is rubbed out, Weid in.

    * I'm not keen on going the TMac back route - this isn't a stopgap - Tomlinson will be out to mid 2022 if it's an ACL. Time to get some time into Petty for that role.

    I saw the Fritsch incident. A fend off elbow to the head.

    If the MRO charge him he’ll be missing at least 2 you’d think as the North player was hurt.

    So I expect him to miss unfortunately.

    The North player played out the game.

    If he missed the rest of the game due to concussion then yes I'd be worried.

    I would rather see Petty come in and Keep TMac forward where he has been very good.

    That helps in terms of a possible punishment.

    Do you think it was a reportable incident?

    Petty in for Tommo is a must

    Conditions will determine team structure.  If the weather is ok, Weids in for Melksham. Viney to return for baker.

    So can Tom play back and we just bring in weiderman to play forward? I'd have a bit more faith having McDonald down back than Petty.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca  

      The superstar Demon midfielder made a successful return to the fold after his devastating injury last year and the subsequent fallout from the treatment he received, during which time he sought to depart the club. Petracca's professionalism and strong play, both in the midfield and up forward, were outstanding and resulted in him being runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. However, early this week, the club's new CEO, Paul Guerra, confirmed that the under-contract Petracca has again requested a trade, adding that he would only be allowed to leave for a “quality offer that turns our head". No doubt some Demon heads are already spinning.
