    I believe his challenge will be dealing with some sledging

    I'd be surprised...

    In most cases these days personal stuff would be a no go zone unless you're a certain Brisbaner.

    Viney, but I think they have told him to curtail his whack-'em mold

    For sure Big kev.He's well spoken with wonderful hair but he will certainly give you something to remember the game by. And probably smile while he does it. All round class is our Jack. Love his work.

    Yes seemed he had a point to prove. I hope they remember it's a marathon of a season though and don't blow their load before September again.

    Would you rather Viney tap him on the backside every time he gets a kick?

    Has to be one of the silliest comments on demonland. Nothing but respect to JJ, he busted his balls for us.

    Not sure why we are the underdogs in this one, Sydney aren't that great a side and are missing a lot of first choice mids especially if Adams is out as well now....the SCG doesnt hold any fears for us we should be able to come away with the W

    We're coming in on the betting market, it's nearly now even odds for both teams, have a feeling well be slight favourites by Wednesday.

    Oliver to play per Sam Edmund on SEN this morning. The club has apparently been impressed with his attitude, training standards, investment in his teammates etc...

    I think there is now enough noise to suggest that he'll be playing.

    I reckon this bloke would have sorted him out nicely (and a reminder about how many sleeps to go to the start of the season).

    Loved Jacko, followed him from end to end every quarter, possibly the most offbeat and entertaining Dee of all time.

    That said… his bark was infinitely more frightening than his bite

    That is, his bite as an enforcer/thug. His bite as a forward was consistently underrated.

    Have had opposition supporters saying they have inside info he won’t play all year.

    I have been replying all summer without any inside info, that he will play first round if his fitness is ok and Medical people have no issue.

    Hopefully he plays and has a great season and sticks it up the whole AFL media and opposition.

    Well we had dancing with your sister game against Richmond and then dancing with your aunt against the blues, now the season starts and I will be interested in watching how the forward lines works this year get this right and the season will look after itself.

    All big ticks for clarry.

    But also a massive tick for the club, how it has handled this situation, and yes its culture.

    And a massive cross for the media and the media model.

    Slam us for months with all the preseason from hell and salacious innuendo bulltish. Drive a narrative not supported by the facts. All's fair in clicks and war.

    And then don't balance that with any retractions or contrary stories and information.

    Sure, when clarry gets back and we are travellimg ok there will be a few token redemption stories, good for clicks.

    But they won't come close to balancing out all the slanderous, false narrative rubbish the media has thrown at the club for the last five months.

    By the by, Sammy is one of the few footy journalists I respect. He has been a lone voice of balance and non hyperbole. Good on him.

    So Clarry comes in for Pickett and no doubt pushes Tracc and Sparrow forward more. Nice little 5 man rotation with Salem and Viney.

    I still think Woey’s versatility makes him the right choice for sub.

    Only selection decisions left might be what to do with the struggling talls at each end but I’m guessing status quo unless Fullarton or T Mc really look the goods at training and in the invisible vfl game last week.

    Love to see it. Sounds like it'll be the first 22 from the Carlton game with Oliver replacing Kozzie?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
