    Agreed,but if things arent working Goodwin must start taking risks and we have the players to make it happen.Throwing Petty fwd  has to be an option.

    Got to win this one.

    Regardless of plays fwd we need to get the ball in there quickly. 

    This.

    You can have Royce Hart at CHF and Peter Hudson at FF - but if you're coming via the hotdog stand, forget it.

    With Gawn out and May returning, Goodwin has a few things to consider. Tomlinson has been pretty good this year and Petty has been a bit down compared to previous seasons. One option I think we should consider is throwing Petty forward. 

    JVR could also come into the side to replace the out of form TMac, although this role would also include part time rucking. 

    Not permitted to throw anyone around these dayz.

    Yes you can. Putin  is about to throw 300k soldiers  into the fwd line .  They'll  obliterate whats left of the Ukraine. 

    Of course you can throw Petty fwd - if necessary.

    Just delist jvr, brown and tmac if we're going to put Petty forward, no chance

    Petty needs to settle down in the back line. We have enough quality in our forwards ,specially when Gawn goes forward . If Schache had been fit  , he surely would have been very heavily considered.

    Tmac with his foot injury cannot be expected to ruck, thus JVR needs to come in.

    I expect the Swans to play 3 talls , therefore May, Petty, Tomlinson  also play with Lever to play on flank or back pocket.It maybe Hibberd comes in and replaces Tomlinson.Young McVee needs a rest  (managed).

    Really McVee needs a rest !  What makes you think that. ? 

    2 games in our fitness staff would resign if a player had to be managed after 2 rounds after a rest brfoure the season started.

    Please maybe you have a rest as well with a weird post like this.

    Whether or not it's a good idea I just don't see Goody swinging the magnets around like this. Apart from throwing Oscar Mac up forward and then Petty in the final which may not have even been his call it's hard to remember a regular team member popping up in a random position.

    The circumstances are that we’re badly depleted in the ruck division and Tom McDonald appears to be struggling to hold his place in the team so, irrespective of the long term vision as to who plays where, it would seem sensible to consider some short term solutions to an immediate problem.

    Moving Harry Petty to KPF, including JvR as the second ruck to Brodie Grundy could be just the trick for this one game due to the circumstances.

    Didn't he keep Cameron to 2 Goals?

    Is easily AFL standard and has played his role well as an undersized def v Dogs and then on the best small fwd in the game v Bris

    you don’t reckon the Cats had a strong defence? aside from us they conceded the least amount of points last year

    Lol yes I'd be pretty surprised if some are questioning the cats defence of last year. 

    Starts by having a bloke called Tom Stewart who is a 4 x All Australian half back.

    Yeah Cats defense was very good, more pointing out we had Lever, Petty, May in defense last year and it didn't get us a flag because our forward line wasn't up to scratch.

    We didn't win the flag because 3 of our most important players were broken by the time finals came around. Gawn was seconds away from missing with a rib injury, Trac played with a broken leg and Clarry with a broken hand.

    Lever was barely holding his ankles together, Fritta was injured in a warm up and Tmac was out with a busted foot.

    Oh and Jackson had checked out, Salem was injured, and BBB couldn't walk let  along run.

    We finished second on the ladder despite our less than ideal forward line functionality and I still maintain that had we stayed really fit we would have won the flag.

    Also Brayshaw was injured and another I now forget too.

    Agree though, fully fit and with TMac I believe we could have won it.

    I don't know about timing but it turns out Lingers had broken 4 ribs (not just bruised as reported).  It's likely these were still healing / tender at finals time

    Agreed, he doesn't seem to do this normally unless he's already experimented.  It was interesting in Rd 1 to see BBB temporarily pop into defence for small moments in the game - might have been something that had already been practice during preseason.  Think there was also another player but can't remember who that popped up in a few spots.  We seemed much more flexible and attacking against the Dogs.

    Gus was moved into the midfield at half time too in the Lions game (although that's more likely due to Gawn down and a general reshuffling).

    Wonder what we'll see against the Swans - probably not much movement.  But when Kozzy is back we might begin to see that flexibility again because we'll be slightly less strapped for depth and our backs may be less against the wall.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
