Forwards can’t be inaccurate if there are no forwards.

I don't know what your deal is, but I'm heartily sick of sick of the complete lack of respect you, and some others, show the coach of the football team i love and support. I'm putting you on igno

90 minutes ago I swore off football forever. 5 minutes ago I brought a $60 seat for this match. [censored] off Demons. I love you.

Still making mistakes at the selection table. Petty forward, Tomlinson in, Grundy out would be better for balance. Good sides this year are going smaller more mobile.

So no Van Rooyen and Neal Bullen keeps his spot. We are under the roof. wouldn't you want to see how Van Rooyen and brown work together? 

Why have 2 genuine two forwards when you can have one and a resting ruckman who hasn't played forward his whole career and another who can't kick straight and get in the way of the genuine forwards

Can’t see why anyone would be complaining about Spargo in. He can find and hit a target and is our best I50 kick by a country mile. Just needs to get the pill …

Sensible changes. Spargo is no worldbeater but unlike Chandler is adept at finding space in the forward 50 and has good disposal skills. Woewodin has earned a start and Jordon will surely be a huge improvement on Harmes. The bad news about Oliver has opened the door for Jordon to prove he is worth persevering with. Van Rooyen for BBB is probably the only other change that might have been considered. At least we now know that Goodwin has apparently decided that Petty's place is definitely in the backline.

My god. The whinging. School holidays has killed the spirit of some of you lot.

I’ll be there on Saturday night supporting the club that’s given me some of life’s most memorable moments.

Get to the ground. Support the Dees.

Because he hasn't got nearly enough of the pill this year

He is not playing as he goes against all the team rules. He leads at the ball and kicks straight. That will not get you a game in our forward line, will be lucky if we don't de-list him.

Why is Melksham in the side. Simply amazing.

I think. Maybe wrong.  100 games for the Dees.    A ton more than me !

With Woewodin and JJ as ins (and only one mid out), it definitely spells a mid going forward for longer periods. It obviously won’t be Viney, so that leaves Trac or Sparrow. They can definitely both rotate at half forward and make an impact. 

What concerns me is the lack of reliable goal kickers. Ben Brown aside, where are the rest of the goals coming from if Kosi doesn’t have a great game (and form isn’t on his side)?

I’m all for playing to the ground conditions (would have been good to see that the last two weeks), but we don’t really give any forward mix a real go consistently.

Smith in for 3 weeks, two of those weeks played in awful conditions. He wasn’t amazing, but he also was not giving us less than Melksham has, and is certainly much better defensively.


This can’t be the forward set up we think we take to September, unless we are very confident Fritsch will be cherry ripe for finals, Gawn will start delivering up forward, and Ben Brown is going to return to 2021 form. Long reach there.

A rest from what ? It'll be a very long rest come September if we lose this one.  Lose  and its pretty much over when you look at our games coming up this month.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
