On the flip side this may well be Hibbo’s last hurrah. Where as Hunt has a lot of time left.

    Yes agree.

    Tough on Hunt and others who miss out but what about young Jake Bowey. 6 games into his career, he has cemented his spot in the side and will run out to play in the big one tomorrow. The kid must be pinching himself.

    Hibberd is going to make a lot of people in this thread look foolish.

    I have been weirdly calm and confident the last two days, and I do not like it one bit. We are 100% going to lose now.

    I was a just watching AFL 360 and they only showed footage from the round 19 game which was infuriating.

    I honestly think we win and win pretty well (over 30 points).  In fact, if this game is played 10 times I think we win 9 of them and the one we lose is through bad goal kicking.

    Yes the only question is the medi  sub. I think it will be jordan but I would prefer Hunt. More speed and can play forward or even as a wingman. Mind you Jordan has not done anything wrong.

    Love his speed and all things equal hell yes,..... but seven weeks out is too big a risk and i reckon the reason why.

    Jordan subbed in for him the injury week. Then played the next week

    And hasn't played since

    ........ and very hard to change a team that won a Prelim by 83 points at its last outing.  GO DEES!

    Particularly as the result against the team of the footballing gerontology (The Cats) whom I regard as more potent than the Bulldogs and certainly, more experienced. The WB had a good run in the finals against sides that were less competitive than they should have been. 

    This gives me some confidence, as I rank the top three teams as follows: 1. Melbourne; 2. Geelong; and 3. The Bulldogs.

    In this ranking, there are some noticeable differences between the clubs - this leaves us, I believe, clearly at the top of the rung and about to win a Premiership.

    Carna Dees!

    One of Jordon and Hunt is going to be a hard luck story.

    Jordon hasn't missed a game all year (whether in the 22 or starting as the sub).

    Hunt was a mainstay of the side for the first 20 weeks, wouldn't ever have been dropped but was one of our rare injuries this year.

    Nah, Clint, the wins 'yes'; the one we lose is the result of the umpires keeping the Dogs in the game, all game and with so many poor and incorrect decisions going their way, it was too late to change their earlier decisions and the resultant outcomes. The one that I didn't like, in particular, was when Max marked in front of the pack (in front of the Doggies' goalmouth) and was penalised for backward head-butting Liberatores fist.

    Absolutely, really feel for whoever misses out. A lot can change in a couple of months. Back then, Bowey was barely a twinkle in Goody's eye. Rare for a debutant to take his chance like that. Definitely good on him, kid is going to be a star but geez Hunt/Jordon will have every right to feel like the rug was pulled out from under them.

    Is anyone else fighting off nausea?  I've been trying to distract myself all week and (thankfully and ironically) have had some full on stuff to deal with  - but every time I 'relax' and think about Saturday night I feel like vomiting. Or crying. And then vomiting again.

    I'm going to be a mess on Saturday. 

    No drinking before the first bounce!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
