I reckon Joel Smith does a defensive role on Moore. Try and get a match up between JVR and Frampton. Moore will take Fritsch. I’d back our boys in, and they’d struggle against Max.

Moore will slaughter Smith, it wouldn’t even be a contest. Seriously, if we have a one on one with Moore as our only option, kick it along the ground and await the contest, at least gives a chance to try and set up the defence behind. If it’s in the air then it will be coming back faster than it went in.

    More forceful touching from De Goey

    All of the bed wetter 'supporters' that want to talk up Collingwood and take pot shots at our lads will hopefully learn a bit from the WCE match. No team is invincible and Pies aren't superheros. 

    Don't believe anyone has claimed that. Hyperbole much?

    De Goosey will get 4 or more weeks for that.

    Injuries also to Hoskin-Elliott and McCreery although I'm not sure of the severity. 

    De Goey gone also helps. 

    Collingwood showed weakness today and whilst I said less than 24 hours ago that I don't think we could win on current form, I think we csn give them a shake if we bring serious heat all game. 

     

    I have zero confidence against the pies, however I am just wishing it's us that ends their domination this year.  Can't think of much worse watching a Power V Pies GF.

    Anyone looking for a ticket? Decided not to come over for the game and have a spare. You’ll have to sit with my family…. there’s always a downside.

    I almost coughed up a small part of my 7+ marble score, porterhouse steak when I read that ha ha. 

    If Collingwood can be challenged by a rabble West Coast side fielding half a WAFL outfit and down to two on the bench, then this game is right there for us if we're good enough.

    But let's not get sucked into the "De Goey's out" stuff. They bat deep. It's obviously a big loss but we need to focus on the 23 they play, not the ones they don't.

    Just from AFL HQ ,instead of suspending De Gone they are altering the Rules of the Brownlow snd awarding it to him plus he is free to play for the rest of the season. Eddie would like to thank the AFLfor interfering and allowing natural justice to take place !!

    DeGoey, goin’, gone!

    we can win if we bring our defensive game.  That and stopping the poor turnover skills under no pressure.

     

    oh, and kick straight

    In that case I think just the two changes but I’m holding out fools hope.

    Has there even been a hint that Petty will be ready this week?

    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).

    I reckon Smith looked pretty comfortable, given the time he has experienced out of the big-League game. He is a point of difference, as well, with some precursors suggesting usefulness and linkages up forward. JJ should come in and could replace the injured Bowey, rotating with Brayshaw in a half-back to midfield roving, clearance and attacking first line. Disco could play tall in the backline, as well, and much depends on the availability of Petty in this regard, to free up Lever. I'd like to see Chandler in a more 'roving' role through midfield-forward - Kozzie must stay forward forever dangerous, whilst key forwards (ie: JVR and Smith - perhaps Sparrow) lead to space as targets, and link up with midfielders/flankers.

    I still wonder if Oliver will actually play

    This week on the track will tell us a lot I guess Roost. The day before the game marks 23 days since he injured his hammie.

    No. Still listed as 2-3 weeks in injury report and no mention of him by anyone in media.

    Bit like us playing Carlton, just getting the job done without breaking the bank

    West Coast wouldn't do anything like that.  They've lost all their matches.

    Very good.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
