I really hope there is a genuine realization from the FD that Jordan is a much more effective, reliable player at the moment compared to Harmes. At least thats what this naive supporter believes

Hopefully, Harmes is either one of either sub, emergency or lines up for Casey. I hope everything with Harmsy is OK with possibly family member passing away. 

This. 

Hope his personal circumstances are okay, but I think we look elsewhere going forward unless Harmes magically turns it on at VFL level. 

He simply doesn't do the basics well enough, consistently enough and tries to be Petracca 2.0 too often. 

I'm actually looking forward to adding a top 10 midfielder into our group at the end of this year, will be refreshing. 

Thanks Freo!

    Wouldn't say Bowey was immense at all....

    He had 10 disposal for the night and played like someone who was overthinking it knowing that he spot was under pressure.

    You’re right, immense is overstating it. But he hit targets, moved the ball quickly and won one on one contests. Salem got dinky kicks that led to turnovers and couldn’t move, compete or tackle to his usual standard. Bowey should’ve been able to move better and complete his role better, would he? who knows?  but I think an unfit Salem was one of many mistakes we made in last years finals.

    In:   Pickett

             Jordan

    Jordan (Sub)

    *Jordon.

    No way Jordon is is relegated to sub after the way he played last week. He was superb.

    Outs will probably come from the sore/injured guys BBB, Hibbo and possibly Lever and they'll re-jig the midfield for Kozzie.

    Don't worry layzie the dees don't do 100 point victories. 60 is the max IMO. 

    I'll take 60 this weekend.

    He (Bowey) may not have had many possessions, but I can't recall his opponent/s doing much. Which is a significant part of a defender's job. He's a ripper. 

    I worry about Salem's future. Bowey and McVee may have overtaken him.

    Any chance of a Blake Howes debut if Pig doesn't get up?

    Tomlinson should be next in pecking order he has done everything to stay in contention.

    Blake Howes had his best game last week but i would be letting him replicate that for few more weeks to be more AFL ready.

    One thing for sure about this match is I'm not going to know who half the Eagles players are

    Half! That's still about 80% more than I'll be able to identify.

    Does Collingwood, when they draw what is seemingly going to be a comfortable game, go through this " how much do we need to beat them by  to have satisfaction?" rubbish from some supporters?

    A lot gets said about how we never play WC in Melbourne but we gave up home advantage to play them in the NT in 2015 and 2019 so that's on us.

    Layzie was talking about the winning margin, OD, not the crowd size.

    Half the Eagles players won’t know who half the Eagles players are. 😁

    I find that Bowza kick mesmerising. I just keep watching it over and over.

    Now he's seen Goody moving the magnets, I bet he wants Petty's place in the forward line and is auditioning

    Given how much joy they got out of multiple one point wins last year (or at least less than a goal in the dying seconds of the game) I'd say not!

     

    T Mac and Kozzi   IN

    Brown and Hibbo  OUT

    • 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.

      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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
