Weird. I watched the presser and was convinced that jvr will be in. 

Taj to debut. Fascinating. Wonder if this means Hunter or Bowey go forward...

Just announced on the MFC Insta account that he'll debut this week.

Wonder if Howes also in? Would be well earned.

Good stuff, he’ll pick up his first Premiership medallion in 13 weeks

Can he do another Bowey and not play in a losing side for his first 14 games?

That'd be nice.

Surely with Fritta out they have to bring JVR back in. It would be madness no to.

Great to see Taj come in as well

Dont put too much weight to pressers..

Apparently there was a coach who said player X was to welcomed back to the fwd line....   turned our he played on the backline...

I know... fancy that.....lol.......

Unless they do what @GCDee suggested and bring in Tomlinson and play Petty forward.

Should be one or the other, I'll be annoyed if we leave BBB on his own down there.

It's interesting, because Marvel is a very fast deck, you don't wanna carry too many big guys, it'll ping out quickly on slingshot if the exits are vulnerable.

So who do we think Woewodin's replacing? Harmes? Surely not Fritsch, so someone else has to come out, whilst someone else comes into the forward line (should be JVR but I'm not confident after that non-committal presser today).

I suspect Jordan will come in for Harmes TU.  All just guess work of course.

Great to see Taj get the call up.  Really cleaned up his disposal in the last 3 to 4 matches and starting to hit targets about 70% of the time (no evidence or stats here just a stab based on the old eye test).

Can't believe we're favourites heading into this. And by some way too. 

St Kilda odds look juicy. 

It's also weird that posters think playing on a dry deck will sort our kicking out immediately. If my memory serves correctly, some of scrappiest and low skilled games have been when we play under that roof. 

Our form-line gives no confidence. Players nor coaches. Goodwin pick teams from a top hat every week, doesn't reward VFL performers and continues to play underperforming senior players. 

If we win this, it'll be amazing. 

IN Woewodin JVR

OUT Harmes Fritsch

doesn’t reward VFL form?

what about Chandler, McVee, JVR, Bowey, Woewodin, Smith to name a few 

We develop players really well and don’t rush them. most players who come through play good footy from game 1.

Posters refer to Goodwin as being one of the more honest and transparent coaches in the AFL via press conferences.

I think he's been anything but this year. Your Petty example is a prime one and he was adamant May would play in rounds 1 and 2. Not to mention his weekly updates on Clarry.

I thought jvr would be an in, but that doesn't sound likely based on goody's comments - which is no bad thing. As goody said he is only a kid, probably needed a chop out and of course still has lots of things to improve and develop in his game

I think in addition to woey, jordon and spargo will both come back in to the 23.

Fritter out obviously. Melksham to cime out, jordon possibly the sub.

That's two.

Harmes would be my guess for the third out.

Surely it's either JVR in or Tomlinson in Petty to CHF

He should be in Bing regardless.

Our most accurate set shot at goals.

Out of our designated forwards he is (on averages)...

Top 5 inside 50 for....

Goals (4th) marks (4th behind Fritsch BB & Kozzy), tackles (a bee's whatsit behind ANB in 4th) and one percenters (2nd only behind Petty who i suspect is only ahead due to his time down back...Footywire has designated him as a forward).

Surely some of the issues (or THE issue) Goody speaks of can be worked on at senior level and is something that he'll improve in as he goes (gradually). 

Regardless it / they can also be worked on in the off season.

Right now we need to settle this forward line and drill drill drill them into some sort of form and cohesion.

The cohesion team work bit up forward  wont happen if we are constantly changing the core group!

We are 16 rounds in and Goodwin & Co. STILL haven't worked out who is there preferred line up!!?????

8 weeks to go and the clocks ticking.

There's no one else to decide upon in terms of talls at Casey bar Schache and he just doesn't look like the better of the two (vs JVR) for mine.

Incredible that we are still fluffing around at this stage of the season and in danger if dropping out of the four while we speak.

It's not rocket science.... get on with it fellas FCS or we'll be kissing another wasted opportunity / season goodbye!

I'm attending my first Marvel Match...with my 7yo. Anyway, what I am looking forward to is BBB kicking 6 goals on his favourite deck. It's a lock.

While I'm not as starry eyed as some supporters on JVR yet, you have to feel sorry for the kid. He's basically been taking the number 1 defender for weeks as a 19yo and I think Goodwin has let him down a bit by not playing Brown to take the key defender, which would free JVR up. We bring in Brown and drop JVR when it would have freed him up. I'd much rather JVR than Smith thats for sure. Another season with baffling team selections imo. Anyway....

 

Can someone please summarise the recent noise around Oliver?

From the conspiracy theories about a suspension to now very silly allegations of issues with the coaching staff...

He's now missed 5 - 6 games. I believe  you could count with the fingers of one hand the total missed games in his career up until this recent patch of very bad luck.

He's the only fwd and probably player (regardless of position), that is kicking above 50% efficiency at goal, nuff said.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
