I'm picturing Viney sitting in a cage, gnawing his teeth right now

I pity the Collingwood players that come anywhere near him on QB

UNLEASH JACK!

    I believe it’s just one of their primitive habits. They’d otherwise pick their teeth, but for that you need more than one.

    Jacko to the forward line BBB out

    Melksham had surgery on his hand re fight so he's out. We can't go in with tomlinson Petty and lever and no other tall if one goes down. If we're going short in the forward line then that's fine but who will go back if Petty struggles or doesn't come up? Hibbard is a completely different player imv. Great on a mid sized forward but wouldnt cope with a tall. Turner would have to be in for a chance. I've only seen him play once but he looked good. Was intercepting really well in vfl. Depends how the pies line up I guess.

    Interesting that Max in his press conference dropped the name Daniel Turner. Early selection news perhaps

    If Petty doesn't get up - almost a lock I'd say

    Just bought some GA tickets for QB.


    10 minutes later I got an email saying QB is a replacement game and memberships get us in!

    bah!

    he looked ok in the vfl last week. Kicking looked to have improved

     

    I'd like our midfield to stop wrestling with their opponents and focus on getting the pill

    One of the things that we haven't tried/reverted to and I really question as to why.. Kozzie applies great pressure in the forward line and when we're getting beaten around the ball, how come we haven't put him there?

    Hopefully what you've said is true and we see him in there.

    Sportsbet ... filth odds were $4.00, dropped to $3.50 now $2.79. I think it will shorten further as their supporters put money in.

    I got on the filth at $4. Ridiculous odds.

    I think the match committee should consider playing Mitch Brown as a KPD.

    Was more than serviceable as a defender during his time at Essendon, in particular during the replacement player period.

    If Petty doesn't get up, I'd be putting Mitch Brown as a KPD and Weideman to come in as 2nd KPF.

    Turner isn't ready IMO.

    I was thinking the same thing, though I don’t know enough about Turner. Throwing a debutant into a Queens Birthday clash is fraught with danger, particularly given our history.

    Have you watched any Casey games? Turner has actually marked the ball and spoiled as well if not better than Tomlinson imo

    Is he ready for a QB debut ? - big call and you would need to be sure there is a fair match up for him - but he is closer to being ready than most give him credit for

    Good point but Turner is way ahead of where young JW was if you ask me

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      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?
