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.

Yes for Bowsa or even Billings to assist with transition chains and the last kick coming inside 50.

Kolt in to share the 4th mid role with Sparrow as the tactical sub for a block of 4 to 6 matches to see how he handles it?

Although Sparrow didn't attend any  CBs vs the Eagles so what is his role at these times?  Run with cooler on someome post bounce or a medium HF role shared with someone else like McAdam?  If so i'm not sure that's working either.

So if the FD decides "no Sparrow at CBs" this week for whatever reason... just bring Kolt in for Sparrow to attend a fair % of CBs and Sparrow plays the tactical sub?

    Sparrow to Richmond. Apparently loved by Yze as they regular kick to kick sessions in the park and chai lattes in the local cafe.  Only joking but I think Tom Sparrow must get the message that his place is not assured and he needs to step up.  He’s not a boy anymore.   He’s 24 next week.  We are wanting to see more.  More contested winning of the footy. More goals.  More ball use efficiency.

    I say we sack everyone and start afresh. Burn down the MGC while we’re at it.

    Then relocate to Geelong and a new ground and training base funded by the government in no time.

    If we could go back in time I would certainly advocate “let’s play the kids”, like about 12 of them immediately! This showed up in my FB, I guess it’s the Reserves side for a game in 1991. [censored] it shows how much the talent pool has been diluted over the past 30 years. I mean talk about emerging talent and experience still on the list if needed!

    Lot of well known names and future stars there, Earl.

    I suspect many of those were injured that particular week and that the record just listed all the players who were not named in the seniors.

    edit:  Those that ran out for the main game that day would have included O'Dwyer, Lyon, Spalding, Lovett (x2), Owen, Stynes, Viney (T.), Grinter, Bennett, Febey (S.), Beveridge, Wight, Keogh, Clarke, Rhode, Jackson and Cuthbertson.

    What a list, how did we not snaffle a premiership in the 90’s?

    While I think that ‘the vault’ is already open, I would prefer we use the rest of this year to prolong the careers of Gawn, May, and Viney. 

    There is no point flogging these guys when we just don’t have it.

    These three are at the end of their careers.

    The problem is nothing has come up from below

    I tend to agree.

    Kolt & Ollie are being groomed as goal kicking forwards who go to the middle and get clearances. They are both big bodied kids who need to develop a tank. Trac moving forward has taken that away. The loss of Gus is huge and add to that the loss of Trac and the midfield looks a little bare

    No offence to Chandler & Laurie but they are small, not particularly quick and don't kick goals and rarely get double digit possessions. Maybe AMW should get a go, he has the pace. Look at how Windsor has settled in, he is tall, has pace and gets the ball

    Turner forward has me baffled as I think he is a Backman who has less experience as a forward than Jefferson who is a natural forward.

    It has been the club policy not to rush the kids and give them a season at least at Casey. I cannot see them changing that just yet. Personally I would prefer Fritch on the flank and 3 marking targets JVR and 2 others.

    We have a fortnight to contemplate and Casey have a bye as well.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
