Turner has 12 days between now and next game so won’t be out with concussion protocols 

Bears will slaughter us the way we played today - stagnant ball movement and atrocious disposal will play right into their hands

Problem is our next game is on Thurs 23 June which is 10 days away.

 

In: May, Weid, Hunt

Out: Turner, M Brown, Bowey

Just had 9 days off. Cant whinge.

In:  Bedford,  May, Dunstan

I would prefer us to play one less tall forward and get some more pressure, movement and separation.

Turner will miss the next game but May should be back.

May owes us big time. Mitch Brown & Daw not the answer. It's soooo annoying that after last week Mitch got another run. Maybe inject more youth with Laurie in and Neal- Bullen to find form. We can't have so many HFFs not hitting the scoreboard.

Out: Turner, M Brown
In: May, Hunt

Time to mix up the forward line and midfield mix. 

We don’t have quality talls so there’s no point playing 2 of them. 

We’re slow down back, we’re slow up forward and we lack midfield rotations. 

Hunt for some much needed pace across half back (rather than deep), Harmes permanent CHF, Brayshaw in to the midfield/forward rotations. 

 

Those calling for Weidemann to be recalled to the Seniors should look at the VFL stats. He kicked one goal in a team that thrashed Collingwood in the VFL.

Sensible suggestions. And bring in Ablett, Blight and Bartlett.

It’s not about individual players. Most of these players are premiership players. It’s about not following the game plan. The players are kicking sideways, hand passing galore until the forward line is absolutely flooded with opposition players. Mostly. Or kicking the ball always to Gawn in the field. He’s triple teamed by opposition players.

Yeah but a 9 day then 10 day break means you can’t really plan a few days away from the club to refresh mentally. Teams with 12-14 days will often take 3 days or so away from the club before getting back into the work for the balance of their bye

You know who we're really missing? I never thought I'd say this, but Joel Smith would have been very handy to have on hand the last few weeks.

They have to take 4 days. Every club. CBA mandated.

The short bye likely explains why our players had a nice dinner during the week. Sensibly getting in some festivities so they don’t overdo it this week. 


Brown and Sparrow should be the first ones dropped. 

After that, take your pick.

Left field idea. Move Trac to the forward line and Brayshaw inside. If Goodwin is all about reward performance then he has to look at Tracs form in the middle. It is well below par. Brayshaw on the other hand has been in the top 3-4 players for the last month.

I like a small forward line but with our ball movement this is a death wish. 
 

If we spread like wild fire from  turnover then it may work but slow transition will make it near impossible to score. 


In: empathic win 

Out: Rubbish performances 

Honestly the game against Brisbane feels like a finals Game already, elimination game.

Lose and it's 4 in a row at the MCG! Can't see ourselves recovering from that considering the trend we are in.

Win and we are back to the top and with a solid foundation to start a really tough home stretch.

I will.still believe in the boys but I really need to see some more fight in them!

 

 

 

 

 

Ins. A.Jakovich  D.Neitz 

outs. Mbrown Bbrown

forwards desperately needed 

we thought we had depth and how could we fit in Bbb Tmcd and Weideman.  
Well Bbb out of form, Tmcd injured and Weideman playing like a marshmallow.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    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.

  • 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?
