    Sparrow seems the most likely (and maybe only) omission at this stage. AMW had 35 touches in the VFL so I imagine either he or Laurie will come in as straight swap.

    May for Tomlinson?

    Can't see Jefferson getting a cameo, much as it will pain some here.

    May doesn’t need to play. All I need is for some [censored] from Collingwood to pull another serious injury move on him.

    Beating the filth next week will make summer more bearable.

    If Collingwood win today this won’t be a dead rubber for them. 

    I’d therefore almost prefer it if they do knock off Brisbane. Would give us some good motivation, and another 10,000 to the crowd.

    Earlier today I thought BBB might get a final goodbye game after kicking 6 in the VFL.

    After this afternoon's result I'm not sure there's a spot for him - perhaps as sub? But given we probably have to replace Sparrow, it's not exactly like for like. 

    I must admit that I have a fantasy of Benny coming on at the 10 min mark of the last quarter and kicking the goal after the siren to beat the Filth.

    Nonetheless, it will definately be Nibblers last game. It would also be good to get some clarity on Melksham and McDonald too because they both deserve good send-offs if this is their last game (though tbc I think they should both get 1 more year).

    They still look better than us as the 3/4 time siren against the lions goes.

    Our midfield looks better without poor old battered and bruised Oliver in it.


    Who knows, maybe we’ll kick 10 goals from clearance again (even though it’s an irrelevant stat apparently).

    I suspect both Milkshake and Tmac will play one more year. 🤞🏻

    The whole backline goes up a notch with May as the anchor and driving standards.

    Agreed. Which is why I don’t want to see Cox drive a knee into his back next week and watch him lose a kidney.

    The boys should be looking forward to driving a nail into Collingwood’s faint finals chances.

    I would give Hunter his 200th and farewell game next week, on the strict proviso he makes Maynard and Moore know he was out there and if possible legally of course, fixes up Maynard.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
