    Out.   Chandler.  Jogging. He’s clearly injured.  Clearly.

     AMW IN !!!!  

    Out.  Turner.  One good game then lost as a forward v cats and lost v blues.  Natural defender.  
     

    MCADAM IN !!! (If fit)

    Give Woewodin a go . He is improving every time he plays.

    I've been a supporter of Turner and he has a bright future. Fullarton had a very good game against Port Melbourne a few weeks ago and has been moderate since. If he plays well tomorrow night I would promote him for Disco who needs to regain some confidence at Casey. If Fullarton plays it would mean JVR could stay at home and hopefully build confidence against the Eagles. Chandler clearly playing injured. Give him a rest. I'm also in the AMW camp. He looks classy. If Tholstrup has a cracker tomorrow he might be considered.

    Minimal changes. Almost glad we got stung, as WCE aren't easy beats. With a bit of fire in the belly from that 1st quarter I'm feeling less MFCSS around the fixture. I'll be in the crowd

    Forgot about McAdam. Presuming he plays tomorrow night and plays reasonably well in the VFL he HAS to come in and play in Perth. Our forward line is screaming out for an 'X factor' and this bloke could well be the answer! I'll be watching with interest.

    I agree. He was great tonight. Developing at a nice and steady rate. Full game against Eagles could do wonders for his confidence.

    No disrespect to Eagles, as they've improved, but need to blow out a few cobwebs. Reverted to bombing it in too much tonight and connection moving the ball was very stifled. Good chance to stamp down on how we want to play heading into the 2nd half of the season. 


    It's a gimme game in the scheme of things

    Regulation win

    Hopefully we use it to get the forward line clicking because... well we all know

    I really like JVR having a crack in the ruck, but surely it's time we bring in Fullerton as a proper back up. JVR was torn apart by Pittonet and De Koning whenever Max went off. 

    In: Fullerton, McAdam (if fit)

    Out: Turner (unlucky but has now played two average games in a row), Billings (poor recent form although he had a good last quarter).

    JVR is a better ruck then Fullarton.

    The commentary on here with people thinking Fullarton is actually a ruckman of so far off the mark. He's literally a 200cm forward flanker that tries to attempt a few hitouts every now and then.

    If you think Fullarton would have made any difference as a 2nd hand ruckman then you would have been in for a shock.

    Let's see who does what at Casey.  No glaringly obvious changes to me

    IMO Billings is still NQR decision making and disposal - does AMW fill his role?

    McAdam is an interesting one - pulled out sick I believe early in Casey's last game.  Has he recovered and can he play a full and good game Saturday?

    PS - wwsw ⬆️ prodded my tired and frustrated brain - Chandler is looking NQR too.  Is he fit or carrying an injury?  McAdam could fill that role if fit.

    me too ... perhaps we say hi F2F

     

    please DM 

    Not sure Turner is the answer but not sure we have any better options available. 

    Ditto Billings. 

    Probably no change at this stage.

    I’d swap Woey and Billings so Billings is sub.

    Int: Sparrow, ANB, Woey, Chandler
    S: Turner

    Let's stick with Langdon and Tracc forward, both gave us something different and try Rivers on ball for a good spurt.

    That means Woey in down back, Billings on the wing.

    I'm hardly a Billings fan, but he had 16 disposals in the second half on the wing and some of them were at least fine. 

    Disco back to sub because we don't need as much height with Tracc forward, and we need speed to pressure.

    No one else on here seemingly agrees with me but if we are fair dinkum we need to think about dropping Fritsch if he doesn't start doing some more team first stuff from the first bounce. Lead up at the kicker every now and then and have a crack with the ball on the deck. If they made him sub I'd be ecstatic.

    can't see a 'tall' being used a sub

    fritsch is not getting dropped, nor played as a sub

    rivers stays down back for mine, and neal-bullen plays more midfield time - he was excellent in the square and around stoppages in the second half

    ditto sparrow

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
