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.

Fullarton ain't no ruck, doesn't like contact. He's a forward only.

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

Yes at least they are all travelling up to Gold Coast together it will be good for the full list to spend some travel and game day time together.

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

Don't  get me started ...

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

Perhaps Chris is, perhaps Chris is not. One thing that appeals is to replace the doorman - change can be as good as a holiday. Maybe, in 2025, it would be a good offering for Badloss, who really needs to see the other side. 


Honestly the melts over Jefferson not getting selected, is worth him not getting selected.

Don’t think anyone has overreacted. Our season is done, what harm comes from playing him? It’s hardly Watts on QB all over again.

Have you done a welfare check on @picket fence

 

Hopefully Jeffo and Brown are late changes as emergencies. 
 

It’s the perfect time to blood a couple of players. 
 

Disappointed with selection. Change and review does not need to wait until seasons end.

Very wet start to the week in the GC however come Saturday, beautiful and 27°. Be nice to beat the Suns on a ground they have dominated at this season.

Understatement 

we’ve had 250mm down Bangalow way.

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!

Is it available online? I’m not in melb so can’t listen. I’m happy to go through the torture of listening to Dwayne just for Chris

 I live 10 mins from the ground and it’s been very wet but drying up very quickly as well as warming up.

Match committee meeting probably took all of 30 seconds this week judging by those changes.

Match committee is only Goodwin these days 

Yes, Chris from Camberwell has called twice this week on Monday and Wednesday and he didn't hold back. Unfortunately Dwayne Russell gives Chris from Camberwell the royal treatment and gives him plenty of airtime and encouragement whenever he calls. 

I don't really take much notice what he says but unfortunately the texters gives Dwayne plenty of encouragement to hear from him again soon.

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

Neither are any of us🤪


Disappointing not to see Woey or Brown selected.

Yep, very warm and humid up here after some decent rain. 28 degrees on Saturday so you visitors ensure the summer gear is packed and tell the players to put plenty of sunscreen on.

This has been a horrible season. We have players out and the team we play get players back. Touk (nearly their best player) back for Suns which will help them in the middle. Then the weather turns against us. Be a tough game me thinks.

Chris has been banging on about our lack of a "first rover" all season. Which kinda gives you an idea of where he's at. And his tortured mispronunciation of our players names is something to behold.

If he didn't follow my club I'd think he was bloody hysterical. But he does. I also think he mentioned not renewing his membership should major upheaval not take place in the off season so Chris, while probably a lovely old fella, can G&GF.

Wow one change Bowey in Oliver out. 

@picket fence is going to have a heart attack!!!!

Not the only one.  Our season is over, time to give the kids a run and see how they look at the top level.  GC have only lost once at home this year, so it's not like it's a game we expect to win.  Jefferson has more than earned a call-up.

This is part of the reason we've stagnated as a club and many no longer taking much interest imv.

Simon's selections have, on many occasions this season, been mind bogglingly more of the same olds that don't offer up much in terms of any weapons that will bother an oppo or impact in some way on match day.

Drop ANB

Make a statement

wash your mouth out

Why was bowey out of the team to begin with? Was he injured or been dropped?

I think the past few weeks I stopped paying attention to selections

I’ll put my hand up explaining my excuse RN 

“I don’t want to go or watch atm” 

I may watch the start to see if McVee plays mid-field. My only point of interest for Saturday arvo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
