We’ve done that a few times over the journey. I remember a game were we played 18 short. 

Who were the 4 'guns' on the bench?

    So Vanders in for Harmes, who has an ear infection, according to one of the MFC instagram pages.

    Slow, poor foot skills, replaced by slow, poor foot skills 

    I wouldn’t call either slow - maybe not express but hardly slow

    I guess a lot of Demonlanders are going to be happy seeing vandenBerg in the team.

    Disappointing IMO for Sparrow that he's missed out on a midfield spot, but let's see how vandenBerg goes.

    OUT: Harmes (EAR INFECTION)
    IN: Aaron vandenBerg 

     

    Curious how AVB will go, if Nate was fit, wonder who would have gotten in

    AVB is going to be useful if the Hawks go the bash, as expected. Aaron will have an opportunity, despite the possibly poor weather conditions, to be a presence and a pillar of strength. He does contribute to making us a better team and has recently been playing really well after recovery. Best wishes for a good game, Aaron.

    Hawthorn’s injury list is next level and if we come with last week’s intensity we should have a comfortable win.

    It’s a big IF though.

    Given their injuries, anything less than a 60 point win should be considered a failure tomorrow.

    vandenBerg would be handy in a final against Geelong if they try their usual physical stuff. This is getting some miles into his fragile legs in preparation for a full-tilt run at a flag.

    Don't hate it, although it does nothing to improve our conversion rate up forward.

    Maybe Harmes had the ear infection as early as last week?

    His entire game was summed up in his first 'possession' I reckon. Tried to pick it up around his bootlaces, missed it, kicked it by accident (almost out on the full), fell over.

    Has carried it for a few weeks now. 'Ear infection' is underselling it, he's needing an operation but is hoping to put it off til post-season.

    That’s quite an infection

    Would have been a good opportunity to give Bowey or Bedford a game.

    Yeah, watched the vfl game on Kayo.

    Didn't think AVB was outstanding but was pretty physical as usual.

    Maybe the wet weather swung it his way. Feel for Sparrow.

    Bowey is getting better every game and Bedford will be a great player for us too at some point.

    Jones didn't play, so maybe that's why he's not coming in.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
