OUT: Schach
IN: Brown

Suspect it'll be Petty (pending concussion protocols) rather than Brown but would prefer the experience of BBB

    Ideally I'd have.

    In: Brown, Petty

    Out: Schache, Hibberd

    Petty to play back. Hibberd rested.

    I'd prefer Laurie to Harmes but much of a muchness when it comes to the sub.

    Pretty moot until Casey's game tomorrow though.

    Wonder if Maysie will come under any scrutiny for his hit on Coleman Jones?

    Think BBB will need to be considered.

    Not a chance… he hit the ball first and the player ran into his forearm.

    Great post. 

    Like the idea of resting hibbo. 

    Sun's aren't the easy beats that they've been in the past but should be a win if the boys front up with the right attitude. 

    I know Spargo is rated highly by the FD but I can't see an obvious reason to get him in based on tonight's from

    Petty or Brown/TMac for Schache. 

    If Dunstan plays well again he may get the sub spot at worst. Or maybe Jordon’s spot? I felt Jordon was poor tonight. 

    Not sure what we do with Spargo if he’s fit.

    No Touk. If we don’t [censored] this in I’d be very very very disappointed

    I think Petty for Schache is likely, even though I'd like to see it as just Petty for Hibberd, and Petty going back.

    Spargo is a potential sub option.

    no guarantees on petty given that they gave spargo some extra time to recover, but you'd think they'd be the two likely ins

    i still really like the notion of the tall defensive premiership trio of may-lever-petty being back together, but it's hard to see how unless pig is sore and misses with his achilles, in which schache may hold his spot forward unless sideshow bald or plugger mac turn it on in the vfl

    Goody said post match that all indications are that Petty will get thru the protocol fine. Must have been a mild concussion and he must be feeling good.

    I can see Hibbo being managed soon.

    Yep, and Rowell has had an underwhelming season so far. We've got the advantage in the guts.

    The Demons are heading back on the road for the fourth time this season to take on the Gold Coast Suns at Heritage Bank Stadium in a bid to win their third game on the trot. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The most important thing to look at here is the weather report. Last time we headed up north for a game, we felt the heat and had trouble handling the footy. Let’s hope the team gets up there in time to acclimatize and get a decent training run on the surface of the ground.

    My Weather Ap forecast for next Saturday is sunny and 23 degrees.

    Great opportunity for his old mates to get in Mac Andrew's ear and bring him back to rightful home... Casey!

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
