I think we'll see Disco Turner in the side if not this week then very soon.

The footage of him turning the bloke on the mark inside out and kicking a goal suggests he knows he’s too good for VFL now.

    I saw that. Disco’s got a lot more exposure to what we want from him, and has had a taste of AFL pressure. I think he’s going to be useful, and I believe the club is very pleased with his progress.

    I think a stint up forward is right in this guy's wheelhouse. 

    Has Laurie ever been played in the seniors as a pure midfielder for a whole game? I feel that if Oliver doesn't play against Richmond maybe it's time to find out how Laurie goes in that role.

    Not to my knowledge. Last year we used Jordon in the midfield and Laurie has only had one game at AFL level this year.

    In 2023 Laurie did not play VFL as a midfielder as we had Dunstan at VFL level. Might have played as an outside mid/wing at VFL level.

    From my watching LDC sadly I think he is one of those players who is too good for VFL and NQR at AFL level. We will know by the end of this year.

    Not wing that i can recall.  Def in the middle for a fair amount of time in 23.  Same vs Port over the weekend.

    Welcome back Mr Old.

    Yes that's my assessment to date also. 

    At VFL level he has a tendancy for a few too many basic turnovers and  second to the ball a fair bit if my memory serves me.correctly.

    As you say he has plenty of time ahead  to prove that he has what it takes though.

    Sounds like he might get a call up for Clarry for Anzac eve.  Will be an interesting watch if he does.

     

    Why is everyone assuming Clayton doesn’t play? Has that actually been spoken about anywhere?

    There haven’t been many games we have stuffed up over the last 4 years when overwhelming favourites. I wouldn’t say it’s ‘exactly’ the type of game we lose.

    Other than BBB who I think would benefit from a longer break and the compulsory in for Salem and the return of Picket I'd like to see the team settle. Fullarton in for the week to take 50% ruck and to give JVR some more forward time. Max to be used more sparingly.

    Correct, tick, no wuz.

    Now Disco needs the opportunities, albeit with some interim patience; he could well prove to be a very clean player in the senior team given glimpses of form and ability. I wish the lad well; it is hoped his confidence and endeavour take a leap into regular selection, starting this year.

    And the issue with Brown and Petty is not just a last night thing. The lack of pressure from Brown, Petty, JVR and Fritsch means we can only play three IMO.

    I disagree. If Kozzy plays, his pace makes our front half a completely different proposition.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
