Tank pls. No point risking Gawn, and a few others.

Hopefully the Saints can beat either Cats or Blues and we can snap up pick 5

What statement might that be, given that the club has known for weeks that Nibbler is leaving?

Cool story 


No Oliver will be interested because in theory Sparrow should play as a full time on baller. it'll be great to see how he goes.

Dropping Howes 🤦‍♂️
He’s the bloody future 

Future of what? He can't defend and doesn't offer enough in attack. He's had an ok first season at the AFL level but needs a massive preseason rather than be gifted any extra games. Has to come back stronger, more physical and more willing to get the ball.

For everyone talking about the game style right now both good and bad I have an question for you and I'm keen to hear the responses:

- Would you like to see us attempt to play an attacking, free flowing, 'through the middle' style of footy and see us try to develop this even if it means potentially being smacked by 10 goals plus?

OR

- Do you want to see us go up there and put up a fight with the strangle approach we used against Port? It won't be pretty but if executed we may lose by a small margin or even get a win.

Keen to hear your thoughts. 

Hate to be all Ted Lasso but i'd just tell them go out there make the supporters proud and have fun aha. I get its not super professional and very juniors-like but what else is there to do at this stage of the year.

I'm anticipating quite a few changes to the list and gameplay next year so these 2 games are a bit meaningless.

Given Goody’s comments he has to play this week or next.

I would like to see Sestan given a run. 

After a promising period mid season I reckon his last month has been horrid. 

A pity as I think he's one of the more intriguing players on our list

Fair enough but I would still give him a run this week or next week to see how he reacts to the situation and to give him some clear incentive over the off season.


These next games mean something...but the opposite of what they usually do, we want to lose them and want others to win to give us a better draft pick potentially.

Winning them won't achieve anything and supporters know that at this stage for 2024.  Winning would be a waste, not to mention a meaningless risk for players like Gawn. 

What do we want out of 2024 at this late stage?

Our season is cooked, so how do we get the best result from now for the MFC.

Do we know if Fullerton can play at AFL level or do we just leave him at Casey until we delist him. Drop Gawn, in for medical,

Bring in Jefferson for 2 matches after telling him this is what AFL is like and strive over preseason to get there

Use the remaining 2 games as a positive for 2025, if in doubt play them.

Whats the worst that can happen? Lose 2  dead games, have a look at players and possibly improve our draft position.

It wont matter to the vast majority of our supporters, they wont go anyway, Petty will still be a forward, at night, cold, dark or just couldnt care. Let us see the possible future and enjoy the DEES at the G. For now! 

I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see Fullarton come in for the two remaining games and JvR played forward for 100% of both games.

Saints should beat the blues. They are decimated by injury. West Coast should beat them too. It may also be a double benefit as saints might get first round compensation for Battle.

I do think we are a chance to win either of our games, though won’t be favourites.

Hopefully its Goodwins second last game as Coach 

Listened to Dwanes world the other day did anyone else catch Chris from Camberwells take?? He reckons Goody will be gone by seasons end. Now I know everyone has an opinion but for some reason I have a sneaky suspicion that he could be onto something here!

 

So far no announcement re Jeffo. Am I the only one that senses a lost opportunity on behalf of the club to blood this player based on very good recent form? The club has missed a Golden opportunity here to give the supporters something to look forward to. Very disappointing!

Last roll of the selection  🎲  last round at the ‘G.

   
JEFFERSON JEFFERSON JEFFERSON

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
