Top work by Mitchell Keating. He provides no definitive information on three different players. All we get is "in the mix", "raring to go" and " a chance".

    Think I'd have Woey or Tomo as sub way before Harmes. Harmes is having a annus horribilis! Can't see him on the list next year.

    Not the same Harmes we saw up to 2021 and even parts of 2022.

    Heart & soul player who bleeds red & blue.

    Appears to have lost some of his former burst speed.

    His average effective disposals in 2023 (7.7) are down about 50% on his 2021 season (14.4) which is a fair indicator that he's a fair way off his output from then.

    Hopefully he can reset in the off season and come back to somewhere near his best in 2024.

    Dees firming on sportsbet. Would that be because they think Grundy is playing or isnt playing?

    Maybe its because Tiges realise theyre playing Melbourne and not Hawthorn.

    Well, you just can't learn forward craft in one VFL game. I think he'll play a part in finals, but you can't deny we have played better without him. Bit of a goal posts have changed scenario and no fault of Brodie's really. He's a number one ruckman, not a part timer or forward.

    I believe he was just summarising Goody’s presser. 

    I appreciate that he has a job to do and Goodwin doesn't give journos much at the best of times. It's a sad product of our times that we collectively feel the need for news to be continually refreshed throughout the 24/7 news cycle.

    I've got some very good friends who are Richmond and Collingwood supporters.  Every club has annoying supporters, I think it's because Richmond and Collingwood have a lot of supporters overall, that they seem to have a greater number of annoying supporters.

    Im not sure if I want petty to return. I thought tommo did a good job last week and smith is proving to be handy 

    No way woey should be a sub. He is a brilliant ball user.

    Should be interesting to see what goody will do this week

    Which is great, but in fairness Woey only got it 7 times. His time will come...

    Agree, interesting week for selection with Hibberd and Petty available. I wouldn't be against sticking with Brown and Smith as sub. It's a good EW bet, if Brown doens't have much influence Goody can swap him with Joel in the second half.

    Listening to Goody's presser, I'm expecting Petty to return.

    I'm not enthused, unfortunately.

    yairs, those premiership chb's who can also be a target up forward grow on trees eh...

    he's in our best 23 every day of the week for mine, either down back or up front

    I don't think he should return until he's fully fit and regained some form at Casey.

    He might be long term best 23 but I don't think we should be rushing him back.

    Taj's floating one-grab mark when the whips were cracking in the final 1/4 (or second 1/4 possibly)  gets him another senior game IMO. Fantstaic effort for one so young.  And the Dees can't have too many skilful players in the lineup if they are contributing.

    Brown omitted and both Grundy and Petty named on the extended bench with Tomlinson keeping his spot! 

    So either Petty goes forward or Grundy replaces Brown and Petty misses out. Seems very unlikely Petty doesn’t play, but you can’t play him, Tomlinson, May and Lever down back so… forward it is. 
     

    Shame about Sparrow. Hopefully a minor calf issue only. Knowing our luck this year it’ll be a 9 year injury 🙄

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
