replacing who tho?

to allow salem to move back into the midfield?

Maybe Chandler if he is not 100%, which would be sad given his great game Saturday.

Great reports all.

Hopefully Chandler does make the cut. Been impressed with his goal kicking the last 2 weeks, both from the snaps and the set shots.

I haven’t seen AMW play - would he be a like for like Chin replacement, or just maybe the young Kolt?

 

Reading over this thread, jeez we're in a good mood collectively. The players' good vibes seem to be brushing off on the supporters?

Many seem to like AMW. I am still on the fence. They have given him a run of half-back at Casey lately, where he wasn't great. Much better up forward. Can move well in tight areas, is a reasonable kick, can get in and under, he has some size for a small, and will fill out as he matures. Loves a goal. Not like Kolt or Chin, AMW at his best is more of a Farmer type player if he can continue to improve the skills. Also requires more confidence and aggression.

It’s a great move imo. As is staying in Adelaide ‘til after the Crows game. 

Probably includes a trip to the Barossa between games. Good luck to them.

stupid ump let him get away with it, forcing chin to kick from 50. umps really need to pay more attention to setting the mark properly

The umps are getting worse and worse at that.   The stand rule was introduced to stop the man on the. mark moving sideways to cover any inside movement of the player with the ball.   (Not something I like but I can see the reasons).  But now we have the player with the ball starting well inside where he should be making the man on the mark almost irrelevant - too easy to run around.  In fact that's why many run back so they can be 'outside 5'. I never know if the ump is telling the player to go outside 5 or if he already is.  And as to where 5m is from an ill-defined mark position, it's a complete lottery.

Definitely, Chook. The players were like little kids at times. The mood was playful and fun. All except for one. Poor Bowser was really down in the dumps. He spent much time sitting on the step of the electric cart, kinda hidden away and when Richo or Goody or one of the physios squatted there to chat to him, his head was hanging and they’d be patting him on the shoulder (the good shoulder) and seemed to be consoling him. 😢

May and Melksham won't be there, so a trip to a winery/restaurant should be fine.

Thought that flying out after a main session at Casey on Wednesday sounded a bit bizarre

Haha who on earth said they’d fly out tomorrow? With the CBA you can’t just make players “work” without days off to do what they want for 9 days in a row without a break, especially for those with young families. The club would never spend two more days away than necessary…

The umps do if the player does.

A little weird???... it's so odd it's funny! I couldn't help asking the question.

If they’re ‘meat’ birds which are different to layers. Home raised chickens have a slightly ‘gamier’ taste which is not everyone’s cup of tea.

Can you please stop! I’ve got little *Harry (HP35) sitting on my shoulder right now and she’s looking at my phone, very anxious.

*or little Jed (JA26). I can’t be sure. 😅

If they’re layers that aren’t laying you’ve got 2 options. Accidentally’ leave her out of the night time lock up and a fox will take care of her or slow cook her. Low heat, 8 hours, thyme, rosemary and lemon zest. Serve her up on mashed potatoes with a side of broccolini and carrots.

Too soon.

And that would never happen again anyways since they now sleep in the house.

So you can stick your rosemary and lemon zest where the sun don’t shine, along with your mashed spuds, broccolini and especially your carrots. 😡

You do know if it’s only one person, it’s technically not a queue, right?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
