Colvin, Magee and petrevski to make way for 

Gay, Lampard n sherriff 

 

Covid paranoia will make the changes for next week. And why would you drop Fitzsimons ?

Fitzsimons has earned another run IMO. Got to reward that.

Feels like the 'protocols' five are walk-up starts though.

Petrevski, Magee and Parry in the mix to miss. Anyone remotely in need of a refresh should get that, though unlikely at this early stage.

Depth is the key this season - early season game time could prove vital for some of the lesser lights to jump in later...but how far can this be pushed without sacrificing team synergy and the form of the big guns?

Agree with the additions but Fitzsimon and Petrevski unlucky to miss out. Very strong squad this year.  

Checked out the training gallery, thinking I might get some insight into whether any of last week's five have served their Covid protocol time already. But no, only players from last week's team included.

However, great to see Purcell up and running. A month away by my count, fingers crossed for no setbacks.

She's unlucky but who would be the 5 you would drop for those 5 regulars.

 

Injury update - Mick gives the timeline of last round's Covid impact. Gay, Lampard and Sherriff were all ruled out just 24 hours before the game, so a great effort to adjust quickly. As we all understand with Covid, seems like some feeling the effects more/longer than others.

The 3 in would be Gay, Heath and Scott. Out would probably be Brown, Petrevski and McGee.

Excellent ins. Unfortunate for Lily. 

Parry needs to raise her game. Contributed little thus far

The saints have dropped Greisner. She was the reason we lost to them 2 years ago so good for us she isn't playing. That said she was very off the pace against the pies last week.

Aside from Mithen it’s a strong line up we will put out. 
The two ex Demons playing for the Saints - Cat Phillips and Bianca Jakobsson - are going to have their hands full. 
It should be a regulation win for Melbourne over an undermanned Saints outfit

Then off to Adelaide to play the undefeated Crows. That’ll be big


Madi Gay must have a decent cold ? It is a pity she is not back in.

Besides Mithen and Gay it's a full strength side should win this game comfortably.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
