I’ll try hard to convince her to grab it, if it’s there!

she’ll be a bit shy to do that but hopefully her big sister can encourage her to!

❤️💙

Awww she’ll be fine. Tell big sis to bring her to see me in the front row, don’t say a word @Neil Crompton!!!

Well Nicko, Neil thinks I’m deranged (to be fair, I kinda am) but when it comes to non-adults, I’m totally harmless and even quite stable. 🙃

You know what @WalkingCivilWar … with all the commentary on DL over the last few weeks, all that matters to me is that my daughters have a great time with you and everyone else in the cheer squad tomorrow … a win would be a massive bonus ❤️💙

With the selection of only Bowey,  to replace Oliver. And no other additions to booster the forwards or ruck.

Can I suggest that Goodness will either be a saviour and genius.  Or . A pariah who has no idea.   
 

depending on whether we win  or loose by a lot.

i will be watching whatever. Good luck Nibbler.

Your daughters will have a great time, win or lose. And I hope they like Haribo gummy bears and Pascall jubes because 6 and a half kilos of my 7kg carry-on comprises lollies. They’ll still be pinging off the walls on Sunday night 😂

Perhaps  Praps not.  Will be am interesting side light to the way the game goes and is played.  Only adding Bowey almost says everything is fine in our garden and we cannot get much better.

personally I think there have been a couple of games where we were anything but  as good as we can be,  

Think AnB will have a couple of standout games,

Bowey doesn't replace Oliver. But he does move into the backline and allow both Judd and Rivers midfield time.

The change is pretty obvious if you think it through.

Very surprised it's just the one change. Bowey for Oliver.

If true, there must be no niggles what-so-ever. No one with the exception of Oliver to be heading into surgery post season for any correction procedures. A clean bill of health for this Sundays starting 23 I take it! 

No Brown, No Jefferson, No Fullarton, No Sestan, No Kentfield - no games for any of these players in a dead rubber game that could provide the player valuable experience before a full on pre-season where they could be motivated to get back to seniors in 2025 having had a taste. Hmmm. 

I'm not into "gifting" players games either, but I'd prefer the option to play one or 2 with 2 dead rubber games remaining. 

You answered your own rhetorical question.

None of those players have been picked because none of them have demanded selection at Casey, and we're not going to gift them games for the sake of it.

One sure fire way to damage your playing group culture is to play players who don't deserve it.

Flat as a tack tonight. 

If we are going to go down tomorrow, I would appreciate seeing us going down with a great deal of physicality and fight. 

And just to top it off, JJ getting interviewed tonight after Sydney pelted the Bombers, has forced me to drink.

Not entirely... If we lose to GC and the Saints win they could jump us on the ladder and we could potentially land Pick 5 in the Draft! So we absolutely need to keep playing average football. 

Careful Tom Morris lurks here, will use this post as ‘reports’ of tanking discussions overheard within the four walls of MFC’ FD offices.

  • 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.
