    There are a lot of what if's in the draft (as always)

    But Pick #9 we selected Weed

    Pick #10 Carlton selected McKay

    If people are looking at Melksham's stats last week they are looking in the wrong place.Ā  10 d, 9 k and 4 m doesn't look great until they realise he played only 54% game time:Ā  barely played 2 quarters.Ā  I think he is carrying a foot injury perhaps connected to he one which kept him out for a while several years ago.

    Last week he enabled two goals in the first quarter with pin point passes, to keep us close to Adelaide.Ā  He barely played after the 1st quarter. Ā  He was far from our worst vs the crows - not even in the bottom 6 given his low game time.

    I'm not a Melksham but I can see that he plays a valuable role most weeks.Ā 

    He doesn't tackle Melk maybe he's been saving tackles for a big game like tommorow night.

    He did haveĀ 5 score involvements against the crows in 54% gametime which is decent.

    Can deliver a sumptuous ball on the chest.

    I heard this afternoon that it was going to be open.

    If it rains and they have to keep it open, will the quick sand favor our game style over the Dogs?

    Would have preferred Mitch Brown to Weid frankly

    Heā€™s very crafty MitchĀ

    Good selections, prove that last week was an off game.Ā  Deliver the ball properly to Weidemen and well Milkshakes is probably lucky

    Roof open or closed? Anyone in the know?

    It'll be open and it's absolutely rubbish. Window dressing of the highest order! It's seen to be doing something. If there's covid in the stadium it's going to be there roof open or not. Hopefully it doesn't rain and ruin what is to be a good match.Ā

    There is consistency in our selections or non selections this year. Very hard for others to get a look in. I guess a 1 point loss is close to a win, though, our system needs to be looked at, given we were nearly 3 goals up with 7 mins to go. No heads to roll!

    I thought Melky did alright in the first half. If he can keep that form for 4 then he will keep his place. Must be on thin ice though.

    No mention about Jetts injury. Was it a leg or ankle thing?Ā Anyway, out and the quarter back is up.Ā 

    Hunt (who was off last week) and especially Salem are so important for our backline structure and their presence when getting repeat 50 entries and closing down corridors, as are our wings.

    The pressure is on Weids. I believe he will rise for the big game.

    ANB is also under the pump, but,Ā givenĀ we need to stop some of their players,Ā he should thrive with hard run with's and lockdowns.

    Petty will have sorted a few things out by now and could be the big improver.

    Fritta won't have two bad games.

    Bowey the med sub. Get him used to the regime asĀ Sparrow and Chandler need game time. Can't see us going with BBB.

    Addit: no Casey game, so Sparrow to be the med sub

    Lots of great match ups, of course the one they all talk about is Trac v Bont, but the match up I'm most looking forward to is Spargo v Daniels.

    i wonder whether anb might take him as our fittest player - caleb daniel just runs and runs and runs

    i'm also wondering whether harmes goes to liberatore and tries to stop him being so impactful winning contestedĀ ball

    there's so many interesting clashes around the ground between types of players

    i'm pretty excited to see how we go; it's a massive challenge for both clubs given that the are both in terrific form and playing really well, plus both have had covid distractionsĀ 

    gotta curtail their fast ball movement and force them wide and long to contests

    Surely Sparrow gets the sub. With no Casey game this week he is the most in form and could have the greatest impact if needed.

    Would have loved to see Melk as sub instead urgh.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fieryĀ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayĀ at the end of the gameĀ was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneā€™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 Kingā€™s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
