Emergencies are Bedford, Sparrow, Weideman and J Smith (i.e. Sparrow, last week's medi-sub, is "out").

    Dogs have gone tall, bringing in Schache to play alongside Bruce and Ugle-Hagan (and Naughton, of course).

    Dogs going all of Naughton, Bruce, Ugle-Hagen and Shache.

    Looks potent on paper, if the latter 2 snags some goals along with Naughton and Bruce.

    Interesting call given it is likely to be a wet night

    Dogs clearly want 1 on 1 in our backline to stop lever intercepting, expect shache to try and play a negating roll on lever

    English too.

    I wonder whether this is a ruck issue - they don't want to be too small when Bruce is in the ruck giving English a rest, so they want to ensure that at any time they have Naughton, Ugle-Hagan and one of Bruce/Schache forward to keep May and Lever honest.

    And our weakness down back is covering mid size and small forwards

    More fool them. Lever prefers summer rolls

    Interesting calls all around. 
    Don’t know that Vanders did much wrong and Harmes is in luke warm form at best. But he’s more attacking which we need as I think Viney makes us too defensive.

    Vanders didn’t do a lot wrong, but he is way to slow. And his disposal isn’t great. Harmes is an upgrade. Reckon that’s all.

    Happy to see Harmes back, but disappointed to lose AVB

    Was far from our worst last weekend.

    Weather is wet and windy, the nemesis of a tall forward line... bad call by Bevo i reckon unless he thinks we are playing under the closed roof of Marvel Stadium.

    Trying to stretch May, Lever & Petty. Could backfire if wet.

    It is the blueprint to beat us, so not surprised at all. Just have to ensure that the midfield brings an extra level of defensive intensity and sustains it for 4 quarters.

    Bevo still having nightmares of may and Lever obviously. 

    Hilarious selections.

    Shache in screams late out. Although Jamarra is good at ground level.

    This his to be the reason, Bevo is out of his mind if he thinks that could work on a wet MCG

    • 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.
