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

 

 


I'd prefer not to see Harmes in the team... again! 

Welcome back Clarry.

MAybe Smith forward to cover Petty? Otherwise BBB...

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

IN: The Clayton Michael Oliver, Grundy

OUT: Petty :(, Harmes (Thanks for the service to this club and you've lived our dream of playing for your childhood club but I think its time to go)

In Oliver , Grundy, Thomlinson 

Out Harmes , Petty , Hibbo.

JJ Lucky

Out: Harmes, Petty 

In: Oliver, Tomlinson

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.

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.

...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.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
