    Word going round McDonald is a late out.

    I’m not 100% how true it is

    I spoke to a senior players wife this morning who told me there was a question whether Tom would be ok to go tonight. His back is giving him grief and he didn’t pull up well after the flight to and from Brisbane.

    100% rain predicted all night, starting from 6pm and going through until about 11pm

    I hope we make changes and go in a bit smaller....learn our lesson from the WB game

    Going with the Weid who can't hold a mark in the dry. Mmmm

    If true why put him through 8 more hours on the plane to Perth? Guess they thought he might improve.

    Weid to kick 5 and his trade value to go through the roof. Kill two birds with one stone!

     

    There are isolated showers/storms there but no torrential rain. Calm the farm folks. Plenty of the game will be played with no rain.

    We did have to fly over Monday and quarantine for 7 days, they wouldn’t have known that TMac wouldn’t be fit. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    100% rain.  14c. Severe winds. Perfect Viney conditions.  I’d love Lockhart in but given options it’s likely Jordon or Vandenburg likely.

    I do have some back problems myself and a day like they had would cause me the same problems. Hopefully if he plays he’s 100% if not I hope the rest helps 

    If weid is in , does he play in backline on darling or oscar allen

    Jordon in not Weid…going small. Goody on 360.

    Would have thought Vanders to hit in hard in tough conditions.

    who's the medi sub?

    Goody just said on 360 that JJ will replace TMac

    Hoping that umpire 22 is not on the roster tonight

    Nicholls, Dalgleish and Howorth. 
     

    No 22 or Margetts, but here’s hoping Nicholls has finally forgiven Gawn for smashing the ball out of the ruck after one of his poor centre bounces.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
