    Ridiculous.  Complete over-reaction.

    Too many kids Danhausen, you don't want to curse them or burn them out with overreliance early on

    INV. Taj might be a chance in a couple of years ( games perhaps)  not a star but very solid, just needs a couple of pre seasons and more game time. 
    He will be a lock for the 22. 
     

    why do we play guys who have been injured and rush them straight back in.

    Moniz - yes, forward or back he’s worth a go soon. Personally now we have defensive options with Salem, Bowey and Woey we should chuck Moniz forward at Casey and see if he can produce some 20 touches, 5 tackle, 2 goal games 

    Jefferson, Adams, Verrall - no way, not physically ready and losing their match up most weeks at vfl. They’d get smoked at afl level. 

    Kolt and Kynan Brown - maybe soon, but absolutely no rush with either, they are working on their craft as mid/forwards at Casey.

    Sestan - no for now. He can earn a debut in the back end of the year if he’s consistent at vfl level but I don’t think he’s a medium forward at afl level, he’s a high half forward/mid and that means building that tank, a lot!

    Who for?

    Drop the kids to play the kids?

    This was always going to happen - a completely inert performance from a bunch of blokes playing a new way off defensive transition.

    Progress isn’t linear.

    Hopefully picking half Casey's squad will help us match their fine achievements this year.

    Like when Port reunited the Mark Neeld All Stars of Barry, Toumpas, Trengove and Watts.

    None of those players listed are much good and none are physically ready, otherwise they would be playing already.

    The fact that Howes and Billings are regular selections despite being consistently ordinary proves this. 

    I'm hopeful on Brown, not confident on Tholstrup and resigned to the rest not making it.

    Woey needs to play for the rest of the season!

    Because when we lose some people get very angry and want to sack everyone

    Andy Moniz Wakefield.  It’s time to give him a go.  And not just one game. Three games minimum.  He’s still learning but gives it a rip.

    • 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.

    • 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.
