Even if Clarry’s not ready please get Harmes out of our side. 

I suggest we may see the Grundy forward experiment. 

In Oliver Grundy

Out Harmes Petty

    Joel Smith to play forward if Petty is cooked.

    Moonboots are precautionary although they look awful.

    Fingers crossed on Petty. Maybe just a week or 2 hopefully.

    there's no match-up for tomlinson at the baggers so can't see him coming in

    OUT: petty, harmes
    IN: oliver

    Healy on kayo, looking at it on replay thought  it could well be  the dreaded syndesmosis. ie 8 weeks. Anyway fingers crossed it’s not .. he’s a big cog in the wheel for us.

    Yeah I think i’m with you. Tempting to give grundy one last go though isn’t it.

    Hibberd was quality after he came on for Petty. Definitely deserves a full game next week against the dangerous Carlton smalls.

    For anyone else you’d be suspicious of a syndesmosis so I’m not surprised job for life Gerard went with that. But with Petty only just recovering from the sprained ligament in his foot that has to be the suspicion too.

    Either way serious foot/ankle injuries rarely get back inside 6 weeks. Full fit inside 5 would be a good result.

    ...not really?

    do not rate as a forward option and gawn's work around the ground has been extraordinary these last few weeks

    Thought he was average. A poor panicked handball gifted the Roos a goal. 


    JJ’s second half probably keeps him in but geez if Oliver is cherry ripe and can dominate the midfield with Viney and others then do we go a double change in the middle and take out a crash and bash mid and bring in Woey, Spargo, Laurie or even Moniz-Wakefield? All who would bring either speed or polish. 

    We had 6 inside mids today: Viney, Gus, Tracc, Sparrow, Harmes, JJ. We really only need 5. 

    I don’t think he’s quite ready but I’d love to see the Money man Wakefield

    Oliver for Harmes seems a reasonable bet.

    A few options for Petty. We could try Grundy. We could flip Smith back to the forward line and bring Tomlinson back. We could go back to the well with Brown, but I doubt that will happen. A lot of food for thought. A shame Casey didn't play this weekend.

    I think Viney 71% gametime was part of the idea there.

    Loading up on mids lets us run out games strongly, but it means we also start slowly because we’re slow.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
