One out in each line so each part of the ground should continue to function as normal.

No surprises for each other which is good re our system and positioning.

Smith and Dunstan stay in and Toby gets a run, at last!

Dees by 25 points.

    All in all we don’t really loose much if anything on balance vs the team we fielded last week

    Correct. Team looks pretty good on paper. Would rather not lose any more, however.

    Still a very strong team, which highlights the depth of our list, and how well they are drilled.  No doubt the envy of 17 other clubs!

    A good opportunity for Smith and Dunstan (and now Bedford) to get another taste of the system and the way we play that they otherwise might not have had. They will need that knowledge if COVID or injury strikes. Also gives either TMac or Weid some valuable Ruck exposure in game time.

    Yes. Its all about the squad - you need 25-30 good players. (Which we have). Premier League teams regularly swap several players depending on the fixtures coming up. West Ham has a big European match coming up tomorrow morning; in preparation they rested nearly half the side for a League match - against a strong Chelsea. (Lost 1-0 late in the game.)

    This year we have had up to 2 players missing ( except rd1 with more ). That is also  good players. Now it is 4 and this may have a telling effect. In a sense it is good some other players are getting a run but we don't want to drop one against the hawks.

    Petty is a big out. Love what he brings

    Agreed. But may  lever rivers bowey supported by smith and hunt give me confidence. 

    And Jack around the ball.

    Shiel’s is a good in. Otherwise it’s not the same side that looked so good against the cats. CJ, Mitchell Lewis, Ward, Phillips, Reeves, Grainger-Barass all out of that team. Outs not as talented as our ours, but significant nonetheless.

    Hawks fans are busy reminiscing about Hodge’s debut, they have given up on grasping at straws already. Brayshaw  can also be a mid not worried there.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
