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.

    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? 

    IMG_6170.jpeg

    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
