Any worries about Salem? Goodwin said he was subbed off after some knee soreness I think. He looked a bit proppy in the third. 

his going off and being subbed out was a huge part of us dropping our bundle

rivers went back to cover for him and our midfield got pantsed for the remainder of the game

    I think Windsor has to go. Couldn’t even execute basic handballs last night. Needs a rest.

    Also AnB must tag Zorko and we need Petty to play a defensive forward role on Andrews. If we can nullify those two we might get a look in.

    Yep agree but you may have forgotten their mids. They are miles in front ours and give good service to their forwards who are looking dangerous even Hipwood.

    Why?

     Cause he has stuck fat with Oetty stinking up the whole joint this year. This is why selection integrity is crucial.

     

    If Oliver got grumpy with his tag on Saturday get ready for Jarrod Berry’s attention

    Oliver hates him too after the eye gouge in the 2022 SF.

    Can't see this ending up in anything other than a 40+ point lions win, hope I am wrong however.

    As I mentioned in the non MFC thread today, how is it that Brisbane keep drafting and successfully blooding goal kicking forwards, and now have 2 more in Lohmann and Morris that are now established in their best 22.

    They got Danniher from Essendon and Hipwood out of the academy.

    I agree - 2 teams going opposite directions right now.  Swans look unstoppable however if Brisbane get back to their best they could take them on GF day

    Also think Carlton and Collingwood could account for Sydney on GF day, but that's for another thread.


    We have plenty of tickets available for this match. A number of folks who’d registered interest in tickets have informed us they can’t/won’t attend.

    We sit behind the goals in section 16/17, Wellington Rd end (Gate 8). No opposition colours in our bay. Dees only. 👍🏽

    Come and sit with the loudest bunch of crazies on the planet!!!

    We can win if we win the centre clearance (easier said than done against Brisbane but crucial at the GABBA) and kick straight.

    I think our structure would look better with Turner in defence and TMac forward.

    Tomlinson does not have a great match up even if Lever fails to get up.

    Oliver to be rested for the remainder of this year

    Come at me....

    I'm not sure that would be good for his mental health - keep him active and involved. Boredom and disengagement can be toxic.

    Agree and I'm not trying to be obtuse with my suggestion, or controversial

    I wonder if he could be in the coaches' box as he gets his mind and body right?

    2025, with all the stars aligning, we'll have The Trac back, and a rejuvenated Clayton?

    Yep I agree chook, I still think we'd be better running him as sub for a while and give some youngsters a crack first.

    Having him come on midway through the third as an impact player might be a better way to manage his fitness levels for the moment. Might be a better way to reduce his frustration with the heavy tags flright from the start of games too.

    Can't See it happening though.

    Can't see him being dropped either with Tracc out now.

    He is one of the best midfielders I've ever seen. God I hope he gets back to his best somehow and he's still wearing our jumper.

    A wicked problem for everyone at the club right now

    He can remain active and involved at Casey. Not sure why he is playing tbh, he is not helping in anyway.

    Not playing - just training and doing extra sessions, that he has to pay for

    I'm sure he can afford it

     

    Out Salem injured and Howes

    No way - Howes, Tholstrup, Turner, Brown - these guys need to play every game this year, to see if they're going to make it

    It's about 2-3 year planning now....2024 is cooked

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
