Just heard he could be a late withdraw on the news, who knows if there's anything in it.

must say I thought the same but it was an 8 day break

the pins are falling ... we really need to win the next two games (they're the easy ones)

Yep i guess now is a reasonably good time.

I might be a little left field here but I would bring in Jetta to back pocket, Hibberd to HBF and Salem into Petraccas spot in the middle or forward--basically let Salem take the role Petracca has and still cover the defence with experience.

well fair to say, given we’re down viney, jackson,  tommo and Petracca it should no longer be classified as an easy game . Although  imo it wasn’t going to be an easy game anyway, the blues really should have crushed the doggies last week. They’re better than their  ladder position shows. Will be a good win if we can pull it off.

Like it, was thinking the same 

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see Trac have a week off after that corky. He looked really sore after the game. 

Sparrow would be my tip to come in if he does end up missing, the other option is bring Baker in to take the wing role and move Gus into the guts. The good news is that the match is Sunday so we have the time to see how he recovers. 

Trac is currently on 66 games with out a miss he will play not the type to miss from a niggle

Corkies aren't niggles! unless you look after them, potential for serious injury prevails. Happy for him to miss this week!

From the cocky 8-0 corner: tap Kysaiah for some of Trac's middle minutes. Bring in Bedford or Chandler to cover those lost up forward. Brayshaw can pitch in in the middle too. I know we got slaughtered in the centre-clearances last week, but Oliver, Harmes and Brayshaw should have it covered, and the extra small will balance the extra tall. Keep challenging Pickett while we're in the black.  


We'll have a better idea tomorrow when Casey plays.  That team has been announced (see Casey R 05 thread) and the only two missing names of those available for selection are Weideman and Chandler, which suggests both are in the 23 for Sunday (late changes excepted of course).

Signs a 7year contract and going soft?


 

 

 

 

?

Edited by Steno

 

Could we see Gus into Trac's role, TMac to the wing, given Weid and Brown are both in?

 

is there confirmation that petracca isn't playing? if he isn't, sparrow would presumably be the next cab off the midfield ranks

OUT: petracca, jackson
IN: weideman, sparrow

starting 22(+1)...
B: Hibberd - May - Lever
HB: Hunt - Petty - Salem
C: Langdon - Jordon - Brayshaw
HF: Fritsch - McDonald - Harmes
F: Weideman - B Brown - Neal-Bullen
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Pickett
I/c: Spargo - Melksham - Rivers - Sparrow
Med sub: Chandler

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
