Out: Salem, Melksham, Harmes 

In: good question... Bowey, ???

 

 

 

 

 

Why are people dropping Salem? In a team full of butchers and dumb footballer his poise stands out...

IN: Bowey, JVR
OUT: ANB, Melk

I acknowledge they're unlikely to bring Bowey in for a forward but anyone with a pulse is an upgrade of ANB at the minute

JVR in for the steak bandit

Do we risk McDonald?

 

Don’t have a choice need someone with a brain 🧠 

1st change. 
Anb. Out. Was terrible all night. 
Bedford. In. 
 

2nd change

Salem out. 
Bowey in

3rd change 

Melksham out 

Tmcd in.  Have to risk him. If not, it’s JVR 

 

Back them in. 

Unless Harmes is suspended which i don't think he will be. just show a video of Patty cripps


Tricky proposition given the way the team played against the Lions last week.

Some of tonight's duds were reasonable or better against the Bears, vis a vie Melksham, ANB, Brown and Brayshaw. Whaddayado?

Goodwin has no form for making changes and I can't see him rolling the dice at this stage of the season.

If I had the say it'd be:

Out - Salem. ANB

In - Bowey,TMAc

Play the same team and get the same result.

Out: ANB, Melk, Harmes (suspension)

In: Chandler, JVR, and potentially Dunstan for Harmes 

Let this team regroup and find form against the lions. Maybe consider tmac for Melks if he’s fit enough but that’s highly doubtful 


Bedford Dunstan McDonald Bowie in ANB, Spargo, Harmes ANB Salem out

Look I can see min changes but Dunstan could well be in the mix.

Like it

OUT: Melksham, Rivers

IN: JVR, Bowey

And swap Gus  and Harmes' roles, both were poor.

As a big ANB fan, he has to go out

Melk out also

TMac in and Jordan

Harmes/Tracc share defensive fwd

Jordan is out for 4 weeks, he just got foot surgery 


TMac won't be ready we needed next week for him to have another game, maybe the prelim if we make it.

Nibbler out, Bedford in

Milkshake out, TMac in

 

Entire forward line aside from Fritsch needs to have their positions up for grabs. BBB is not the long term answer, but wow he was done no favours with the quality of our forward 50 entries (deep to the pocket, rinse & repeat).

As for our smalls, non existent both offensively and defensively. No one was front and centre when it came in, nor was there any pressure to keep it in.

 

I wonder when the match committee will realise how badly out of form ANB has been?

I have a gut feeling they'll make no changes unless there's a forced one.

Gus has one poor game (by his standards) and you want to move him from the middle after 4 great games in the same role? Glad you are not the coach.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
