Ben Brown needs to play. I think we can all agree that Tmac needs to play as a high leading forward and Fritsch at full forward won’t get us many marks or goals. We need to give Brown a solid run in the seniors. 

I could see Fritsch out, Ben Brown in. But equally, Fritsch kicked 6 when Brown was in, so he would really benefit from not being the 2nd biggest target.

I think our best structure includes 2 talls based on the ridiculous kicking into the forward 50 we saw tonight (putting it on Spargo's head won't win a Grand Final).

More chance of aliens being found on mars tomorrow than Fritsch ever getting dropped, he's our best forward

If Goodwin was willing to persist with Weideman and his poor form for 5 weeks, do you really think there's a chance Fritsch is getting dropped when he's kicked 28 goals in 13 games and is our leading goalkicker just because he's had 2 down weeks? Mostly as a result of our delivery inside 50 as well. 

Ben Brown definitely does need to come in though. If half of your game plan is to kick it in long, you need to have more than 1 tall inside your forward 50. I'd be leaning towards dropping Sparrow or ANB but probably Sparrow, not sure that goal at the end was enough to save his spot in what was a relatively quiet night for him.

Brown in please, with a solid block to build into it. We need straightening up. Brown is the perfect player for it. 

In Ben Brown Chandler

Out Pickett ANB 

 

On a dry deck in the afternoon, BB would be a good addition. Still not sure it's the right move for team balance, but I don't think he deserved to go out based on form. Happy to give him a run.

Not sure who goes out. Kosi has been disappointing, but I still think his upside is too great as there's no replacement in that role

Kozi has had a poor last few matches. Love him but it might be time for a break and think about team footy again. 

Beat me to it HB. Kozzie will become a great player for us but he needs a rocket up his backside real quick. Trying to play Hollywood footy in lieu of team footy. Chocko needs to have a quiet/hard word to him.

Fritsch wasn't too good tonight but he's important to the Forward Line mix. Need better connection from the Mid to the Forwards. Happy we got the 4 points. I'll take that any Day of the week. I took the DopeHeads at 23+ so it's been a ripping Saturday night. GO Ds GO.

@JadedI agree with this, but what if Weid kicks 3 from 10 marks tomorrow and Brown is ordinary? Would Weid get the call up for you?

 Agreed even his tackling hasn't been great but he's had a break but don't know how Brown can get in without Kozzie going out.  Sparrow stays for my opinion. I'd still be happy with no change.

Sometimes you just got to win ugly.

 The bigger the better. 


Fritta made some critical spoils and his field kicking is an asset. He plays worse as the 2nd tall. BB will help him

I would keep Sparrow in too but ANB disposal was shocking tonight and could be dropped for Brown.

Spot on.

Maybe that'll be the course they choose but I reckon AnB had some credits. It's  depending on how badly they want BBB in. I'd  be happy with no change tho.

Lets see what happens in tmrw vfl game. I went and saw Casey play against Sydney which was our last game. Ben Brown was absolutely pathetic so be careful about calling for his inclusion.

Not by much.

Averages 2 goals a game as the '2nd tall'.

Averages 2.16 goals a game as the '3rd tall'.

Depends who is given the FF role. Previously Weideman has been anointed as the Casey spearhead.

I think they need to play Ben Brown for the next three weeks if he’s fit. They need to see how he fits in. It’s a big call but he was traded in to be running around at Casey fields.  

 

No change

Everyone has off games. I don't care if Mitch Brown puts his hand up either.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 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.
