    Looked like he was out cold. No chance he plays next week. Looked very very sad post game.

    This, unless Petty is ready as well. Then it's either Smith or Tomlinson depending on where we want to play him.

    Has it ever snowed at the MCG?

    Seriously the only way we win is accuracy on our part and inaccuracy on theirs

    Accuracy on our part? Surely you jest

    Be interesting to see Grundy next week.  I bet the filth barrackers will be disgusting towards him even though they [censored] him off.

    He certainly won’t get cheered like Jackson did.

    He looked like it, will be missed next week 

    I think we all need the 10 day break. Players and supporters alike.

    Out. Bowey (concussed), Harmes (suspended/omitted), Smith (omitted)

    Ins. Hibberd, Oliver, Ben Brown

    I don't care what Benny is doing wrong in the eyes of the coaches, he's still good for a cheap free and mark each week. That's 2 goals we could use. Didn't mind the Smith experiment but it didn't work. Stick to what you know. I'll also cop TMac back if he's fit.

    Harmes will cop a week for his bump but will be dropped either way. When he cops his week I expect it to be one of the shorter threads in Demonland's history. Great clubman and servant, but he's not up to it at the minute. 

    Not sure who I'd play as sub in my scenario. Maybe Chandler? I prefer the sub to have a bit of X-Factor rather than the 23rd man which is generally another vanilla midfielder.

    I will soon have my break by sitting on a plane for 14 hours..

    Still deciding if I am going to stay up to watch the KB game (it'll be at 11 pm first bounce for me).

    I’ll be watching Casey this weekend. I suggest BB lovers might want to as well. There’s no universe where he gets a game at the level.

    Unfortunately Bowey will miss a week (or two) with concussion.  Maybe  Hibbo (or Disco if Hibbo doesn't get up).

    Harmes will be offered 2-3 for what a couple of Cats were not even cited.  Oliver back according to coach.

    Otherwise probably no change.  Goody said that Smith provided a point of difference so will probably stay (unless BB has a pearler at Casey).

    Raised this on the game thread but if Viney’s opponent’s head made contact with the ground in the tackle then he’ll get an automatic 1 week at the MRP I’d imagine.

    I dunno, he has exposed form at AFL level over many years now. He's not a world beater but if he struggles for impact in subpar conditions at Casey then I don't think that should put a line through his name. Joel Smith was promoted off less. 

    My mail is that BBB will come in after the bye.  Apparently he is doing a mini pre-season again like in 2021 and they want him firing for end of year

    Can't say I have much in the way of proven footy connections so we'll see 😂  as an optimist this mail certainly fits my confirmation bias

    Then where’d the information come from? Your cousins second best friends wife?

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
