    I’d like to see Bedford come in for Kozzy this week… he’s earned his chance and Kozzy needs a break in the VFL; hopefully he’ll also take a break from believing the hype.

    Not sure his earnt his chance? Hasn't kicked a goal in his past 2 VFL games and only had 9 disposal last week and was barely sighted.

    And Weideman is a high half forward, but you seem to have no problem with him being a Full Forward in the AFL side. 

    Is this your thing now? Trying to troll me by misrepresenting things I've said?

    Here's some facts for you slugger.

    Hahhaha. As opposed to facepalm emojing everyone’s posts and not really want to engage in constructive debate. I’m still waiting on the lesson on social media business marketing ??

    Bowey could come in if the Match Committee decided to persist with Hunt in the forward line in Pickett's place. 

    Not sure the Hunt forward experiment was a winner on the weekend tbh. I would think he goes back again this week IMO.

    Hunt’s the most accurate set shot for goal at the club.

    He should stay forward and BBB and Melksham should come in to sort out our disastrous set shots for goal that have plagued us for most of the year.

    Reckon his sample size is a bit small to be saying he's the best set shot, and his lack of awareness against GWS when forward will mean he'll go back to where he's found his niche IMO. I'm not totally against the idea, just for mine it doesn't seem that likely.

    Definitely keen on Brown and Melksham coming in, but might not make a huge difference if we keep going slow around the boundary. That's the main tweak needed for me, centre clearances will help that potentially too.

    What 3 forwards do you have coming out to have all of Hunt, Brown and Melksham in there?

    According to the stats I can find on Stats Insider, that's not actually correct. Not even in our top 5.

    Stats Insider has data on all set shots from Round 1 2018 to Round 6 2021. I've gone through and here are all the players on our list who have a set shot accuracy of at least 50% (minimum 10 shots in the time period):

    1. Daw - 71% (14 set shots)
    2. TMac - 63% (104 shots)
    3. Jones - 63% (19 shots)
    4. B Brown - 61% (178 shots)
    5. M Brown - 60% (52 shots)
    6. ANB - 59% (32 shots)
    7. Hunt - 57% (35 shots)
    8. Weideman - 56% (55 shots)
    9. Petty - 55% (11 shots)
    10. Gawn - 52% (42 shots)
    11. Fritsch - 51% (92 shots)
    12. Melksham - 51% (65 shots)
    13. Tomlinson - 50% (18 shots)

    And then below 50%:

    1. Brayshaw - 48% (27 set shots)
    2. Spargo - 44% (18 shots)
    3. Petracca - 42% (60 shots)
    4. Harmes - 41% (29 shots)
    5. Langdon - 36% (28 shots)
    6. Viney - 36% (11 shots)
    7. Pickett - 36% (14 shots)
    8. Oliver - 24% (25 shots)

     Oliver, Pickett and Petracca kill us..Wow its like our whole midfield can't kick. Gawn is better than the lot of them

     

    I thought Spargo was better than that. Didn't he kick 8g 1b last year?

    But all three have kicked well earlier in the year We need a refresh on the things that hit us to Top earlier in the year.

    We have become defensive complacent and let our standards slip.

    Spargo's 60% from snaps but only 44% from set shots. And the data does go back to 2018.

    But you're right, last year he kicked 8.1, with the only miss being a set shot.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
