Ian Hill injured his ankle at training but is expected to play.

Bobby Hill methinks. Four days to get over a sprained ankle. He’ll be right (unfortunately).

    Tommo unlucky but i dont think we need 3 talls against Collingwoods forward line.

    Woey into the starting line up.

    Disco or Petty i don't really care, both showing they are backmen not fwds, but they are both better than what we have in the VFL.

    Would like to see Kolt get a go  think this kid can be our next Petracca.  In time!

    Out of all the team hypothetical this is the one I like most.

    I tried to think of a team without Petty forward too- but it just can't be done. He simply is our best 2nd tall option.

    Chandler has been BOG ordinary for weeks! If Petty plays he MUST play back!  Period!

    I don't mind it....

    Balanced.....but some need to pull their fingers out.

    If they don't come to play...  don't lower their eyes some.....don't overuse handballs...and pedal to the metal....  then we'll get dacked.

    The filth have injuries, but they have ability, they have form, they have attitude, they have method   and they have belief...

    By God I hate the bastards...

    But I respect them. We should too.

    They'll have little for us.

    Whilst i agree with you,i think they ade "lowering the eyes" too much and looking for options that aren't there. 

    We seem to turn the ball over around the CHF line way to often looking for a 15m kick on the 45 which opens us up straight down the middle.

    Well..   I can see what you refer to..   Perhaps....sharpen their eyes..  

    This need to handball ad nauseam...meh.   

    It needs a thread of its own but good footy is a compendium of styles,a myriad of disposals etc...  about picking the best option.   We often when kicking blaze away as opposed kick to advantage.  Poor footy nouse and/or poor skills.

    I seriously don't get how elite level players forget good football sense...

    Funnily enough his name is Ian, but since he’s not a 73yo grey nomad he goes by Bobby

    Broadly agree with this except Petty out, Tomlinson stays back with May and Tom Mac goes forward.

    Dunstall would not get a kick in our forward line let alone young players without teaching them the craft.

    For me high up on the ‘hate list’ is Cox and Maynard (and used to include Ginnivan). That aside they are a very good side and play an exciting brand of football.

    It is their supporter base that l absolutely despise. No better example was when the ferals last year started chanting ‘Collingwood’ while Brayshaw was knocked out cold. It made me very angry. Still am!

    The KB game for me is ‘our little final in June’.  I just don’t want us to win, I want to see Collingwood get smashed….so that I can soak up the crowd atmosphere. (Even better in some ways when we will be vastly outnumbered). GO DEES.

    Can anyone spare a ticket for Monday? I didn't think I'd be able to attend and it appears all AFL Reserve is completely sold out. As too are club members and GA.

    As of yesterday we still had some seats (not many though) available in M3. Not sure if they’re still available now.

    You can find out by emailing  -

    and asking if there’s any left.

    TMac is finally playing some really good footy, we would just ruin another backman by moving him.  Hold Petty/Disco for now and pray Melksham just falls straight back into his form from last year 🙏

    Are there any special plans to honour Gus at the match,  WCW?

    It’s their home game so they control all the ‘activations’ pregame and halftime. Even if it was our home game it wouldn’t happen anyways. The most we were free to do in round one was to all wear Gussy helmets, but we can’t wear them on Monday since we’ll be wearing this year’s Big Freeze beanie.

    I’ve been PM’d some awesome banner content suggestions from posters on here. Thing is, I doubt they’d even be considered. Remember, the AFL don’t want the Gus travesty highlighted, for obvious reasons 😑

    Maybe we could resort to standing and clapping at the 10 minute mark of each quarter. Don’t need Pies or AFL’s approval for that.

    Always thought there should be a thread called Alternative Banners where ppl we can just do wordplay and have some fun. Need a joke between all the recent gloom threads aha.

    It might be sensitive for Angus but the club could make Gus our Concussion Ambassador. Spread the health and research efforts not only that he is already aware of but promote other activities.

    There are more comprehensive testing and assessing tools that are being introduced and Gus could be involved in highlighting these. Start with our club and force the AFL to join this initiative.

    Promote his situation at our home games and let us all celebrate and recognise his personal knowledge. He can then as a former player have a greater credibility as an influencer to other players and clubs.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
