I am new born baby, never watch a football game before, and am unfamiliar about customs to do with this sport which I have followed since yesterday.

So when are the…

    Wow, Spargo in, go Charles. From all reports he was flying on the track prior to the achilles setback.

    Sub choice? You'd think most likely Laurie or Chandler based on those bench selections.

    If he doesn’t play this week, he will be hard pressed to get a look in with Pickett and McAdam coming back in the next few weeks.

    I found Sparg’s inclusion a bit mystifying, but this early in the season, I have 100% confidence in our MC.

    I’m pleasantly surprised Dof. I didn’t think he would get named after taking no part in the praccy matches.

    I hope Salem plays in the middle. Bowey the only back replacement so maybe I am wrong. Have to watch their half forward line.

    Woewodin is my tip for sub.

    Assuming they have to announce 5 on the bench tonight with 1 eventual sub, I'd find it hard to believe that Brown or Tholstrupp will be one of those 5 considering the confirmed debut announcements from Monday.

    Who else could be sub? Hunter and Spargo are injured. Adams hasn't been near contention.

    Surely we're not going down the path of Verral or T Mac as a sub after what happened in the semi. 

    Spargo is available. So is BBB but neither have done the work in last month to be even a sub. 
    Woe or Pup Kynan could be Sub or from left field Fullarton but again no fanfare so not happening IMO. 

    smaller ground suits spargo.

    looking forward to seeing his lazer accurate I50 deliveries

    Spargo is currently sitting on 97 MFC games. Would love to see him bring up the at some stage this season.

    Can't wait for tomorrow night! Go Dees!

    I’m was surprised too, but in hindsight we’ve done it many times before.  They clearly rate the competitive match play during training sessions very highly as a way to decide a players readiness to return.

    From what I understand, the sub this season is named from the Interchange selections.

    Chandler me thinks.  Bill's inside work on occasions last week was sublime.

    Not sure about Spargo, Laurie, Bowey, Chandler all in the same line-up - Billings isn’t huge either so it looks a bit short to me. In an ideal world two of those go out for Kossie & McAdam but it’ll do for round 1.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
