The Demons will return to the MCG next week to face the Hawks before 2 weeks on the road in Adelaide in the lead up to Gather Round. Who comes in and who goes out?

Geez this place bounces wildly back and forth on Sparrow. I said this after the 2021 grand final and I'll say it again now. He's a great role player who has limitations with his disposal but absolutel

Sicily is out suspended. Huge loss for the Hawks.

Inside word is that Petty is definitely playing, but only for the first half of the game given his fitness levels. At half-time, he's going to give his jumper to his doppelganger Jed Adams who wi

So Brown played really well but seems to still only have a half of good footy in him. No idea how he will pull up for next week.

Judging by the public comments, Goodwin seems to think that Petty will find more form playing in the AFL than the twos. But from the people who went to the Casey game it seems like he's not going to be kicking bags for a few weeks.

How did Fullerton look yesterday? 

Second tall forward/ruck still seems the week link but I reckon Brown deserves some congrats for his game today.

No change unless there’s an injury/niggle that needs managing before two games on the road in Adelaide

I wouldn't mind see what Tholstrup can do. Perhaps a straight swap with Woey. Other than that no change. Give Petty another week to find his feet in the twos.

Sicily got a week for kicking out when he was targeted early. That is very soft. 

Expect it to be overturned at appeal

massive loss for the hawks . sicily can't seem to stay out of trouble for long no matter how many articles they write about him shedding his bad boy behaviour and becoming captain .

can't imagine we'll wield too many, if any, changes but I too wouldn't mind seeing the Kolt unleashed on the G .

Don't drop Sparrow. He will come good.

I don't think any changes but Petty in is tempting. Play Brown for 1 more week and then bring petty in for Adelaide games.

We simply should not consider dropping Sparrow. Didn't have the greatest of games this week but you don't through the baby out with the bathwater. Also don't drink bathwater

Give Petty another week....

No way is Sparrow getting dropped. I’ll back him in to find some form over the next couple of games.

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
