    Does anyone know what time the team is announced? I am expecting Hunt or Hibbo to replace Smith and am just as keen to see Geelong's changes

    In five mins 👍🏻

    Really surprised Geelong didn't bring in an extra midfield for Parfitt, but instead have stayed with Zac Guthrie who's a half back flanker.

    Parfitt is Geelongs best defensive mid. They've left the bollocking work to a Selwood and a banged up Dangerfield. 

    Works in our favour.

    No change to cats line up. Which looks funny because psrfitt is out.

    Zach Guthrie was medi sub last week. In the starting line-up tgis week

    Hard luck for Smith. I think Hibberd is the right call as the closest like-for-like replacement for Smith.

    Jones the sub?

    Their true team is Z Guthrie in, Parfitt out.

    It's hard to believe Guthrie is ahead of Narkle, who can't even get on the emergency list, but there you go.

    Don't think Jonesy will be sub, and fox footy have been saying he will fly home if he isn't.

    In practice yes.

    But the medi sub counts as a player. Hence no change

    No Hunt even as emergency. Would assume he was not quite right.

    No Hunt. C'mon Hibberd find your early season form and you will stay in the team.

    Really surprised by Zach Guthrie who a mate of mine has suggested (Jeelong) that if he plays ut plays right inro our hands!! I DEFINATELY would have played Hunt over Hibberd easily and I hope this doesnt end in tragedy! Hunt not even on extended bench???? Dont like it one bit. JONES to be medical sub take  it to the bank!

    What a huge tick for young Bowey.

    I'm wrapped for him.  Hug tick also for Choco in bringing him on.

    His beautiful disposal will be rocketing out of half back, centimetre perfect to Fritsch.

    MFC Website still saying Hunt is 2-3 weeks

    Hibberd is an upgrade offensively and with decision making. Not defensively, but we should be able to cover him.

    He also looks to get us going when we fall back into boring footy. Not as much as Hunt but it’s valuable.

    Ultimately, this will be decided by the best 12 players on ground.

    Yes I know, I just think of it practically.

    Someone tomorrow will be named as their medi-sub and theoretically that player is the "in" to replace Parfitt, but really it's Guthrie in, Parfitt out, and someone else to medi-sub.

    Well the team is as expected so the only mystery may be the sub. It will probably be Jordan but I would not be surprised if it was Melksham. Has a reasonable record over there.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
