Clarrie was below his best.

Might need a spell in the twos.

Keeping himself fresh for the real stuff.

    Coach got fed up and sat him on the pine most of the last quarter

    Depends a bit on who we play...but both teams are likely to be small in the forward half.

    If that's the case and May doesn't come up then it might be Hunt in.

    Otherwise no change.

    He's been an emergency, not the medi-sub.

    Jordon's been the sub in both the finals and there's no reason he would slip below Jones in the pecking order now.

    Nah mate, that’s what I said. Re-read my comment. I said he’s been emergency for the last two games. But if deciding who should be medi-sub had any effect on whether or not we’d win the granny then you’d reckon we have bigger issues.

    Yeah I know, the point I'm making is that he hasn't been the medi-sub the last two games.

    Jordon has.

    You said he's been an emergency the last two weeks, therefore there's no reason not to make him the sub.

    The reason not to make him the sub is that there is someone else more deserving, and at the moment that person is Jordon.

    Port are tall though, they will have Dixon, Ladhams and Marshall, and possibly Georgiades as well.

    Oh fair enough. Nah I just interpreted Jones’ emergency listing as a potential indicator that he was not far off a recall to the sub position. But yeah nah what happens, happens.

    i think jones will announce his retirement this week and fly home to be with his wife, hes unlikely to be selected as much as we all want him to be, (and an on the run thought, could we name him as the sub even if he's in another state and just pray no one gets nick vlaustined in the first quarter)

    may is clearly [censored] but grand finals have a way of healing would be injuries, just ask zac dawson and jeremy mcgovern

    Because of his family's history, he simply has to be there for his wife. If he was in the likely 23 I'm sure he would consider staying, but uncle time has called, he now has other duties. What a great man he has been, what a privelege that he played all of his 300 games for the Demons. He is one of my MFC heroes.

    If mays hammy is iffy, but plays, I think a spare defender (smith or hunt) would be more likely/ smarter especially with ports fast small forwards 🤷‍♂️.

    This breaks my heart but I agree that if May isn’t 1000% you bring in Hunt as the sub.

    Unfortunately chunk is a year too late. I think if the calf doesn’t happen he is prob in before sparrow. But if Did, sparrow beat out jordon and now prob misses.

    This is business. No romance

    Chunk can look forward to welcoming twins into the world. That's amazing in itself. He should head back to Melbourne and be with his family.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • 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?
