    I was at the Captain's Run this morning. Not only did Trac train, he looked completely unimpeded, ran at full pace and looked sharp. He did every drill and there was no sign of any limp. From what I saw in the first 30 minutes there is no way in the world he is not playing.

    No bring Sparrow in and give him a go.
    Can always make changes during the game.

    PLEASE this incessant fantasy with Tmac on the wing is ridiculous.

    Its almost getting fans thinking of ways to change the team structure to get him there.

    In case any one is under the delusion that we could move a Tmac full time to the wing and succeed they do  not understand the logic of team balance or placing players in their best positions.

    Yes a player can be moved during a game and Tmac performed that role vs North in Hobart and played on the backline in place of Tommo. Great result and he could be a Harry McKay opponent at some stage on Sunday  with Petty being moved to CHF.

    Our forward line needs Tmac at his best as he kicks straight is mobile and is a team player above all else. He's playing  just fine and when it's Not broke don't try and fix it.

    For those in the "Tommy for Wing" club yes he played about 5 mins a game starting  there to get him mobile fir his forward starring role in 2018. Far different than wanting him to line up there and run all day. The team needs pace on the wing and I am perfectly happy with Angus performing that role until say Fraser Rosman or one if the other players earns a game in that position.

    Leave Tommy be the leader of our forward line and his work  ethic and Bulk plus clunk marking are proving priceless to our improvement and form in 2021.

     

     

    And I'd move Hudson to CHB and Barassi into the back pocket.

    Based on last weeks match ups Carlton are going to be looking at some significant disadvantages down back. 

    Weideman should get Plowman, who he'll have a serious advantage over,     Fritsch should get Stocker, who he should be too good in the air for   and Saad will either have to sacrifice his running game to mind Kozzie, or Kozzie could get on the end of a few. he's way too good to be as unaccountable as Saad can be. 

    Spargo and Melksham are both very smart as well and will make Docherty defend

    In...Dees win

    Out.. dogs winning form and a loss to port

    And eight point break for us.

    I want us and the doggies to win... to open up a gap on 3rd place. 1st or 2nd is no advsntage either way, while 3rd loses home ground 1st week.

    Sounds like a rumour started by the Carlton nuffies over at SEN to stir things up. They were having a segment called “sure thing” or something on Bob and Andy’s show and they reckon there is nothing more sure than Carlton winning. They talk a bunch of dribble, amongst some good content. 

    Collingwood lost again. If Melbourne beat Carlton its pretty much curtains for Coll ,Ess and Carlton for 2021. The media will be distraught. They'll have nothing to babble about except Eddie .

    Collingwood are already Curtin's, weather we win or lose to Carlton, any team who loses to Collingwood will not play finals

    Its possible (unlikely) Dees could be undefeated leading up to the Collingwood game. That could be the game we lose.We wont make the finals?

    I reckon Chandler will be an in for Melksham who'll be dropped and used as a medical sub.

    Definitely think the inclusion of Weideman calls for another ground level player.

    Sneaky chance for Chandler in for Melksham I reckon. We lose a bit of mongrel with Weid in for Jacko, so think we may look to balance it out with another genuine small instead of a midsized player like Melk.

    I'm available on a part time basis for any selectors reading


    I cant believe Goody actually dropped Milkshake. I thought that was impossible. 

    WOW

    PS: I think its a good call, super excited to see what Chandler can do re: pressure and we get the weed!

    Big fan, got some good speed at the feet of the 3 talls.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
