For those wondering this article says that Lycett trained in their captain's run today but Teakle didn't, therefore suggesting Lycett is going to be brought back to replace Teakle as their ruck.

It also says Dixon trained but wasn't moving freely.

    According to SA sources much about Dixon playing  is piffle waffle.... He needs to pass a fitness test...as late as Friday.

    It's suspected he won't.  I hope he plays ;)

    yep

    Not my choice but if you think of Petty as the up the ground forward it makes sense.

    I hope the big dinosaurs in Dixon and Lycett play.  They are underdone and it could be wet.  May and our rucks should run off them and expose them

    Taking the absolute [censored]. 
    Can he play forward once Salem return?

    I know we have 8000 players fighting for a half forward role, but come on!

    Wow... Salo sounded very confident he was on track & ready arround three / four weeks ago and the window opened!

    Was expecting at least 1 week at Casey but there you go.

    Dixon is more likely than unlikely to be playing according to Hinkley.

     

    I got this wrong but good news nonetheless.

    Now just need Dunstan back to his best to assist Viney in the center with extractions (and from that clearances).

    Not sure who he'd replace though.  Maybe JJ for a block of matches.

    Great to see Salem back. Fingers crossed he can stay fit for the rest of the year.

    A big surprise with Salo. I hope the club isn’t rushing him back. They did last year and his season really suffered. 

    Thrilled with no Dixon. He’s a monster and he always troubles us.

    Don't think they will play Viney and Dunstan in the same team, Dunstan depth only.

    Exactly. I don’t know why people don’t understand what Dunstan is.

    Looks like Brayshaw will play midfield. 

    I thought the same thing. With McVee, Salem and Bowey back Gus has to go into the middle - probably to play Sparrows role this week.

    Club must be happy with Woewodin.

    I’d be happybwith him if he didn’t try to take on the opposition every time he gets it.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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?
