I like Hunt, last few weeks have been a bit poor but he's not alone there. Couple of brain-fades last week seemingly cost him.

Think he is still capable of playing good footy when everyone fit and firing, just last few weeks the backline been impacted by injuries and Lever being a bit out of sort. 


 

A 2 disposal game doesn’t warrant selection 

 

Lads seem very happy with the announcement

    Disco Turner in! I like. 

    Been some good footballers over the years from Albury. Reckon he might be another.

    Go well Disco!

    that was bloody unreal.  after the week we've had this is exactly what we all need.

    The group is so pumped for him.  Great to see guys like Weed and Majak being so happy for him when they are out of the side. No sooking it up

    We are clearly a club that is in disarray. RIP.

    Hope it doesn't mean Petty is out.

    Me too.

    Hopefully it's just a matter of dropping Tomlinson who had no answers for Sam Reid (who decided to play his first dominant game since 2015) rather than Turner replacing an injured Petty.

    We've come a long way since we debuted another player on Queen's Birthday. Instead of being an over-hyped PR gesture it seems this time we're blooding someone who's (hopefully) ready.

    I have been shocked at the development of this kid, don't be surprised if he really makes this spot his own. 

    He's a very capable one on one defender but his reading of the play is very good and knows when to peel off. 

    if he's come in for Adam Tommlinson it could really suggest it's going to be harder and harder for Tommo to gain a spot as a defender in this team

    I suspect that Petty will be given until Monday to prove his fitness. If fit, poor old Tommo comes out. If not fit, Tommo will keep his place in the side.

    Hunt was the scapegoat.  But others have been underperforming. 
    BBB is lucky that Tmcd is injured and Weid is “too nice a boy”. 
    Mitch Brown remains to provide some target. 

    Tomlinson stays in until May is back.
    Spargo lucky to stay in imv. I’d give Bedford the chance.

    Good luck to disco. I hope he's replacing Tommo and not Petty.

    Good selection

    Would have preferred that we had debuted one or two new players in the Eagles/North weeks. Looking back I think that's where we started the slump we are now in. A bit of a "squad"mentality may have averted the unfortunate events of last weekend as well.

    Big game in the context of the season

    In full agreement. ☝️

    Yeah. We know.

    FFS.

    It's more about Petty possibly being injured than the lack of form from Tommo.


    Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back.

    I’m taking it as a positive that Petty was kind of jumping around in the group and getting amongst it after Turner’s debut announcement.

    Turner in. Petty must be listed as highly doubtful 

    Presumably it means that Turner is in for Tomlinson, who then becomes emergency in case Petty doesn't get up.

    Hibberd takes Hunt's place.


    Turner is listed at 192 and 194cm on his profile, any ideas what it is?

    The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height.

      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.

      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.
