    Haha good god no, the kid would be crushed, physically but mostly mentally. 

    He seems to be slowly turning the corner a little at Casey, that’s where he needs to stay.

    That  selection would be surely the definition of desperation .He has shown absolutely nothing to date and doesn't even deserve consideration .

    Have u watched his last 3 weeks??

    i'd rather try tomlinson at full forward. at least he can take a mark

    it's desperate times so why not

    Lack of effort and competitiveness forward of the ball is our issue, he addresses neither

    Would be feeding him to the Wolves if we played him now, plus JVR and Fullarton can come into the side.

    If we out of contention with 5 Rounds to go, then I would give him a go.

    Yes I have watched him closely .He played a reasonable first quarter yesterday and that was it .Not even taking  a grab which was his one strong area .Maybe he will develop but I'm not in the least bit confident .What I am confident of is that he is not remotely at present up tp AFL standard .

    No.

    He plays one good quarter every game. Sometimes it's not even a quarter, more so 15-20 minutes maybe.

    Give Fullerton a go first. He may not be a world beater, but he is athletic and will give a contest. Jeffo ain’t there yet.

    I have, and he is showing some promising signs, so why ruin that by throwing him to the wolves before he's ready?

    I'd consider giving Sestan a run in the seniors before Jefferson. Has made some good strides this year.

    He is developing well, gets to all the right places and presents in the air well. But he is another season away from being AFL ready and will be less effective than Petty or BBB.

    Is this the prompt to call him Juice Jefferson, after your previous full forward love child?

    There are forward issues but it’s the midfield performance that’s killing us. We are missing Gus big time. Oliver is a shadow of his former self, we are a 30 plus possession midfielder short.

    What has our list managers done that's left us in a situation where we our best key forward is 187cm.

    JVR has shown some promise but he is as fustrating as Petty at times. 

    Petty was a premiership defender and we throw him forward because we can't trade/draft any one [censored] decent.

    He's just starting to find his feet at Casey Picket.

    Showed some very positive signs early on Sat but then dropped away again.

    Fullarton should've played ahead of Brown to see what he can offer and as a chop out for Max (not Petty!).

    Petty's efforts / energy would have been better served playing more time forward and as an outlet mark / interceptor down the lline tonight.

    Agree but again he is presently struggling to play out 4 quarters at a high level for Casey.

    He also seems to lack the white line manic attack at the ball to take the next step.  Might find it as the year goes on but will need to imv if he's to get the call up.

    Always looks better playing inside 50.  Pretty good by foot as well.  Is he a possibility to replace Billings?  Kicked four goals yesterday but very quiet after half time.

    • 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?

    • 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.
