Interesting Hunt comes in. We have 8 defenders, unless Gus or Riv move in to the midfield rotation

    Brayshaw getting those midfield minutes he has wanted... ;-)

    I suppose take it with a grain of salt, but Salem named on the half forward flank is interesting. A good team selected for a day of 10-20mm rain earlier in the day. You'd think Chandler would get the sub.

    Hoping Chandler gets the Med Sub position, just hope we don't get to use him

    Maybe we could do a phantom Bulldog injury and get Chandler on in the 4th Quarter

    Goody tends to not bother too much with positions on the team announcement, so wouldn't think it would happen.

    Explains a few of Harmes' decisions last week

    Does this mean we finally see Gus back in the guts :O

    Hopefully Weed can play 4 quarters this time, really needs to play a big one without a 2nd big forward.

    Yes Gus either on the wing or include in the midfield/Centre rotations

    Yeah, he had rigor mortis on Jamarra in the last quarter.

    Well, Petty did actually.

    JVR an emergency. Getting closer now.

    Chandler could well be the sub, which I don't think is a very good option. A small forward offers very little if a tall, defender or mid go down. Given we already have Spargo, ANB, Pickett and Melksham in the starting 22, unless he's subbed on for one of them we just get so out of what. At the very least, Dunstan as a midfielder can slot into the middle and push, say, Petracca forward (if the injured player is a forward) or Brayshaw/Hunt back (assuming one of them is playing midfield).

    Harmes’ concussion was broken by Demonland was it not? This place is the sauce.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Chandler comes in for JJ.

    8 defenders is interesting.  Gus unlikely to move off HB

    Is Hunt a chance a play fwd? or even Petty?  Taberner and Lobb could be handled with Petty maybe

    As an aside, this is Fremantle's first home game against us since 2015.

    Which is utterly ridiculous.

    I wonder whether there is any other match up in the competition where a side hasn't had a home game against another side in 7 years.

    Surprised Banfield was dropped by Freo. Always seems to bob up and kick important goals.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
