    Co-signed.

    The options are: Caris, Magee, Brown, Petrevski, Tarrant and potential debutants Chaplin, Campbell and Gillard.

    Purcell is definitely looming large to breath some new life into the midfield in a couple of weeks.

    Better news on L.Pearce than I'd expected.

  • Quote

    I hope Mick is more inspiring talking to the players than he is in these videos.

    Good news on Pearce, although she seemed to play out the game.

    It would be nice to get some sort of update on Purcell.

    good to see Caris get another run though

    Hanks is our best player across the first 4 rounds. Huge out

    Suns have improved. We tend to have mid season form losses. This is a definite danger game

    Hanks and Gay are huge losses. Heath and Mithen should take their spots in the middle.

    Hanks is a huge out been our best player. Can't be replaced suddenly our midfield looks ordinary.

  • Quote

    Yes, Hanks has had a terrific start to the season and Gay is one of our best tacklers.  These 2 are our best kicks in the team and will be difficult to replace.  

    With Caris back to support L Pearce it means Zanker has no ruck duties and concentrates on being that big bodied midfielder and helps out Paxy.  

    S Scott has had a real quiet start to the season so hoping this week she can provide some influence.  

    Choko Williams was at training during the week so hopefully his positive influence rubs off on the girls kicking.  

    Gold Coast are young and fast and won their past 2 games.   It may be close today but at our fortress Casey Fields we have the advantage.  Go Dees!

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
