    JVR to play at his home soil. 4 goals for sure 🔥🔥🔥.

    I imagine he will invite all the people from his hometown 😆

    Brown Out, Pickett in.

    Would like to see Viney out for Howes, but not sure Jack would get dropped being captain. I feel he is probably our biggest watch over the next few weeks. Disposal poor, decision making poor. JJ is a much better 3rd midfield option and Koz back will squeeze Jack out.

    Picketts round 1 game was miles better than any games these 2 have put together in 2023

    Absolutely no idea what changes they make, a couple of thoughts: 

    IN: Pickett
    OUT: Sparrow

    JJ, Gus to have more mins inside

    IN: Pickett
    OUT: Hibberd

    Jordon to have stints at half back or Petty back to defence? 

    Really can't see them dropping BBB

    Kozzie in hard to drop anyone from today's game. Someone is going to be stiff. Melk junk time supersub may be left out

    McGovern, Cripps, Shuey and Witherdan all unlikely next week. 
     

     

    Let's get the Casey boys for a nice Perth visit and rest our AFL team 😆

    The season is a marathon, not a sprint. We need to peak when it matters. We're not losing next week, so why not start rotating the list a little bit and giving a few blokes a rest next week. Will refuel the batteries and ensure we can go the distance. We have the depth and need to use it. It's what hurt us last season in the end.

    let's wait and see what the medical report is on sideshow bald first

    if he's out i still like our structure with three talls up front - sideshow, roo, and petty - so if one of them is out then plugger mac gets another opportunity more than likely

    pickett is obviously an in, most likely for melksham, with one of jj or sparrow - probably jj - sliding to the sub

    Brown should have a week off regardless of whether he’s injured or not. Another week to look at Petty and JVR up forward and we can always bring Tmac back. 
    We are heading into a softer patch of the draw and we need to take opportunities to rest our older and most important players.

    100% agree. The 3rd tall is the Ruck pinch hitter. 

    We also need to get some games into Turner, should be our 3rd tall of Petty plays up forward.

    Kosi for Hibberd. Petty to go back. Another possible out is Sparrow (just 10 touches) but I feel like he was vital in getting centre bounce clearance momentum back.

    No way can Harmes replace JJ. Jordon was immense today.

    Think melksham is a lock for sub until he hits 100mfc games, he's on 97 now.

    why would anyone give AF if he gets to 100? he already got to 200 games

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
