That still means that one of Rivers or Brayshaw plays midfield if we play 7 defenders. 

If Hunter goes (which he shouldn’t) I’d put McVee on the wing he was far from our worst last night

Daniel Turner has to come in imo.

Jake Levers form has taken a complete nose dive ever since they moved Petty which has left him playing as 2nd key defender which it's been proven over time that he plays his best footy as a floating intercept defender.

We built our our premiership defence off the back of playing 3 tall defenders. Stick to that.

Amen to this until Petty returns.

Who comes out though?  Or straight in for Bowey (inj)??

    If we lose this match at the MCG to Freo like last year then this year can bugger off.

    I think the FD will persist with JVR. They love the fact that he competes. Those calling for Nibbler or Langers to be dropped are wasting their breath/ keystrokes. Won’t happen. Those two and Spargo are always going to be picked when fit.

    I don’t reckon TMac did enough to hold his spot. Has Turner ever played forward?

    Don't think so. 

    BBB most likely gets the nod over Macca provided he has an injury free run at Casey

    There's little at Casey.. perhaps they will get desperate and try Joel Smith up front

    Bowey out allows Sparrow back in

    Could well be no change

    Struggles to get a kick at Casey but I guess it must be easier at AFL level 

    Not sure why people seem desperate to promote a player that isn’t in form and seems incapable of making a contest and chase when not in possession 

    Plenty looked slow last night and you want to add potentially our most immobile player - struggle to see the merit in this 

    We would run all the great leading full forwards out of form, it's a dysfunctional forward line, we don't have a Lockett, Brown ect but hey lets just bomb it in and expect it to be done.

    just watch Casey today

    we'll play the boundary and bomb it forward. Even have the left side kick out.

    Do we ever practice anything different ... even for a quarter or two at VFL level let alone at AFL level

    lmfao and we do that to.

    If Hunter is suspended does that allow Langdon to play on the other wing for the week. They seemed to swap sides at the start of the year. 


    Have to start thinking outside of the box.  Maybe try Brayshaw forward

    Prior to the Casey game, I would assume…

    OUT: Hunter (suspended), McDonald, McVee
    IN: Sparrow, Brown

    JJ needs either a full game at afl level or straight up get dropped - he offered little last night after coming in for Bowey

    Brayshaw must return to defence - too slow to transition between offence and defence as a mid

    Edited by whatwhat say what

    Bring BB back in. No point waiting. I think JVR's indiscipline was due to frustration at his lack of impact. Give him a few weeks at Casey to refocus.

    I'm not very confident about TMac but maybe he'll be better with a game under his belt. He did kick 2 goals.

    Sparrow to replace JJ.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
