    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
