Who do we think would take being sub better; Gawn or May?

 

Max wouldn't look good in a vest whereas May could just be mistaken for one of the Village People.

Mayzie it is.

    No Max this week. 
    And I can’t ever remember us naming an out (Woey) as managed before.

    The closer the game gets the more my confidence rises. Even though that’s  always been true for me I’m feeling pretty confident about this week. Let’s face it does anyone here seriously think Freo are better than us?

    Didn't finish the Casey game and allegedly copped a corkie.

    Guess it's going to be a simple swap of Woewodin for Laurie as sub.

    Or billings

    I don’t have high hopes for him, but he certainly earned another crack at it after his game for Casey on Sunday.

    Fullarton gets a free ticket to Perth to watch the game. I suspect he’s there keep the Dockers guessing.

    I’d prefer to go in unchanged but I trust Goody after his selection master class against the Bombers.

    I’m still fascinated by who goes out next week when Max comes in. Is Sunday Petty’s last chance? Or is he a permanent fixture and they’ll demote someone like the Kolt to sub?

    From what I’ve seen Verrall is way better than Fullarton as a football player. Why is he being ignored?

    Yep Laurie for Woey

    Freo have clearly been better than us in 3 of the last 4 meetings.

    So looking at the squad.. I’ve got vibes on it being Fullarton in for Woey (managed I can only guess means load mgmt & needing full VFL game time?!)

     

    Why? That part I’m still grappling with.. jsut feeling that they didn’t like look of Petty in Ruck or want to see if Fullarton can play up fwd whilst giving JVR a rest OR wanting to have JVR up forward MORE and thus JVR Becomes 2nd ruck and Fullarton gets the bulk load.. although his 5 hit-out VFL effort doesn’t scream PLAY ME but around ground he was solid..

    Personally I’d bring in Jeffo and keep JVR ruck, but it’s risky & this plays a role.. just think playing TF feels like the change based on ext interchange named!

    Lets beat Freo and show them all the WA talent they passed on in the draft:

    • Kozzi (they has 3 chances to draft him)
    • Rivers
    • Tholstrop
    • JVR
    • McVee

    These guys have been among our best in the last few weeks and are the best WA youth running around.  Did I miss any?

    Luker Kentfield in the not-too-distant future 👊🏼

    Windsor named on bench. Anything in that?

    Woey needs a decent game so makes sense

    Fullarton and Disco named bench, potential for Fullarton to get a run and Disco sub? Try Fullarton and if not working revert to last weeks line up?

    I’m already on it PF! Been on it since Queen’s birthday last year when we bonded over snags in bread at Fed Square. I’m just not as confident as you are that he’s ready yet. 

     

    Fullarton to play . You can bank on this . Petty to be sub or emerg.

    He's been on that since Rnd 5 vs Brissvegas where he contributed roughly the same rating as Salem on 7% game time (subbed off injured with Hammy in the first Q) and ranked as the worst rated player in the AFL for season 2024 (at one point in between then and now) but still going strong nearly three months later.

    • 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.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
