    Sparrow and Harmes in. No Woey unless he is the sub or there's a late change

    Woey won't be the sub. Demons never name debutantes as the sub.

    Poor JJ ... he really is on the outer. Thought he was a certainty to be in the 22 ahead of Harmes.

    Walters being injured is something of a bonus. He's the type of player who cuts us up.

    Good to see Harmesy back in, you would think Gus starts on the wing.

    Well we can kiss Jordan goodbye at the end of the year!

    I would guess Rivers or even Harmes go to the wing before Gus.  But who knows

    Agree and super surprised JJ didn't get the nod ahead of Harmes. I thought his Casey game was better than Harmes and that he would be a no-brainer to replace Hunter on the wing. JJ is definitely on the outer 😟

    Oh well it looks like we’re going to lose a very solid future 200 game player at years end

    Sad to see you go JJ

    So Walters is out injured and no-one comes in?

    It's not that hard to provide the ins and out guys! I'm sure this means the sub from last week comes in, so we have to go look who was the sub?  jesus.  just tell us who is in and out of the 22!  

    I couldn't give a rats about the sub!

    Can you guarantee who will ?

    I’ll give the FD one more go at the JVR-TMac set up, and the no-third-tall defender set up. 

    But neither have me convinced and I’ll be more than a little peeved if we lose in circumstances which suggest a different tall mix might have made a difference.

    It means last week’s sub, Fyfe, is “in”. 

    AFL has to change the rules to mean clubs name 23 plus three emergencies. If the sub is credited with a game, the sub should be named alongside the 22.

    I'd be happy to see a bit more of Rivers in the middle.

    I agree about Gus. He doesn't look fit enough for an on-ball or wing role

    I'm glad we kept the fwd line the same, we can't keep swapping T Mac and BB around.  And Chandler and JVR have been our best fwd options and although have been poor the last couple, should bounce back.  They are young and will have quiet games, especially when our midfield is being belted

    Yep. I don't see why he'd want to stay.

    I like Sparrow and I think Harmes might have helped us against Yartapuulti if he’d run with Butters. One or both of them will probably come in next week. 

    Ahem.

    I would play both Gus and Rivers out of the middle. Harmes can play forward or he could be used to tag Brayshaw.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
