    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.

    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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
