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!

Oh yes, Chris from Camberwell is definitely someone I suggest you listen to. He is not at all unhinged.

    Would very much like to see Jefferson get a go. His progress this year would indicate he's worked really hard I think, and a game late in the season gives him a chance to get a feel for the pace and strength of opposition defenders and thus a target to work towards during the offseason. Otherwise, he's 6-7 months off being anywhere near a game.

    Precisely correct. What would a pre-season preparation achieve if he was not - at the minimum - experienced in the demands of the big-time game, the team of participants, the desirable options onfield and the areas of his own game that could be expanded, further developed and contributory?

    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. 

    Sparrow would relish something meaningful - and positive - instead of a negating role.

    I'd really hope that Sparrow would be happy to take any role assigned to him that will help the team, as I would any player.

    This match is a good chance for a lot of players to prove they have the desire to play on next season.

    Just checked our injury list and saw it includes May, Oliver, Petracca, Windsor and Spargo.  You just can't replace those sorts of players, but it's a great opportunity for the likes of Hore, Howes, Kolt & Disco (at least) to learn and smash in.

    You'd hope some of the older players that have drifted towards the end of the season, or throughout it to really come home with a wet sail too.

    Go Dees!

    Yes, I found myself listening to that on the way to Bunnings! Dear old Chris from Camberwell, " if you find a competitor's lower price on a recycled coach, we'll take it in place of the only bloke who has delivered a premiership in 60 years!"

    Did Chris from Camberwell also say that he wouldn't be buying a membership next year if the Club didn't change the CEO, the president, the coach and the doorman?

    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 

    Agreed. Wonder if he will still be on the list after this year? I guess the rules changing for rookies may help

    Has anyone got any energy left to complain about the team selections this week?

    We almost won last week, probably should’ve, don’t think we need wholesale changes.

    In other selection news, Weid is in for Essendon.

    Kynan Brown and Jefferson should be playing. Really wonder how decisions around players playing when not in form impacts the “culture” of the team. The FD have missed a trick here.

    Hope he has a great game, but has been playing in the backline. On an amusing note, Carlton has on their team sheet Matthew Kennedy at FF and Elijah Hollands at CHF - Lol, lol, lol. I hope the Weagles trounce them,

    What purpose is served by not playing them? Jefferson playing would give him a taste for it, he’d get a feel for the pace of the game or in our case lack off.

    Chris isn't the sharpest tool in the shed at the best of times.

    Casey didn’t play last week, maybe that had something to do with no Jeffo. 
    Next week might be different.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
