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

    Moonboots are precautionary although they look awful.

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

    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.

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

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

    OUT: petty, harmes
    IN: oliver

    smith forward and hibb comes into the 22

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • 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?
