Clarrie not named. WTF. This is beyond a joke.

He's listed amongst the followers on the team sheet on the AFL page for Sunday's game.

    not much given away from the selected 18. 

    Bench will be Chandler, Gus, Tomo and JJ imo

    I'm a bit confused about how this works (should know by now I know).  Surely Hibberd is one of the extended bench?  If so why does he get listed as "out"?

    My bad I could only see the ins and outs. I’ve just tended my resignation as a selector.

    Mitch Lewis out for the Hawks, not 100% sold that Tommo is in now

    I'd like to see them give Bailey Luaurie a go in place or James Jordon

    Hibberd was the 23rd player last week - sub. he is not in the 22 this week.  sub yet to be named. 

    not on the extended bench so he’ll play for casey

    Just seeing Josh Schache's name in the extended squad makes me nervous.

    They still have talls in Kozitsche, Denver-Barass and Brady who all played forward last week. Tommo should play.

    What happened to Hibbo? Surely not dropped?

    He was sub. It’s just the stupid nature of the selections that subs are listed as out

    Nothing against the kid but he shouldn't be in a top 4 side this deep into the season. He'd struggle to make North's 22.

    I reckon Schache suffers a bit from confirmation bias from supporters. I’ve seen him play very decent games at Casey, kick multiple goals in games, be an effective second ruck and show courage backing into packs. He just seems to lack intensity so is unlikely to be selected because the team demands that attribute. It’s a shame because he could be our forward line temporary solution if it can all come together for him. I would not be devastated for him to get a game.

    Grundy and Laurie definitely to play, perhaps Chandler the sub with Tomo, Schak and JJ at Casey

    The game at AFL level requires intensity, and it would be some kind of miracle for it to come together for him at his 3rd club in Rd 23 of his 8th season. I think Grundy stays in as the tall target. 

    Otherwise from that extended bench I’d have Brayshaw, Chandler & Tomlinson (would’ve preferred Hibberd). Jordan as sub, maybe Spargo but I think we’re small enough as it is.

    Laurie is a great kick and very accurate when shooting for goal. I'd like to see him play HFF/FP

    A fair summation of where Josh sits DeeMee . To paraphase Paul Simon  'A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest'. Try not to pull the blinds down myself. Of course we have favourites who seemingly do no wrong and those we have less esteem for who appear to do no right.

    Not the best game from Josh last round at Princess Park. But he is a clever player who can read the flight of the ball, position himself well and is normally a long, accurate kick. Like a number of his peers, the goal kicking gyroscope was awry last Sunday and he failed to kick a major. Might surprise a few if he got another go. Ditto Luke Dunstan.

    Just saw that. Maybe they want to give him a full game at Casey for fitness ahead of finals?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
