What would the difference be for your best 23? Pickett for Lindsay?

Personally I think Sharp will be slotted in to ANBs flank.

Pickett for Tholstrup. Tholstrup as the sub. Sharp dropped.

    Depth has really been increased. Poor old Max will be hoping for an injury to big Campbell

    I like the look of the squads, well done, and will only add that the team could be even better if a few Casey boys really step up , earn a spot with a hot run of form. No one in particular in mind. Maybe hot form from Jefferson or Seston ? Let’s see.

    Always forget the followers for some reason, probably because it's the most settled line in the team.

    I guess I got it wrong George isn't a Cat B rookie. He's just a train on in case someone gets injured.

    these are the collection of players that it's hardest to get a read on at this stage of the season

    even allowing for trac mostly rolling up into the midfield, there's not enough pressure on the oppo coming out of d50 without pickett there

    it'll be interesting to see what structure they go with here

    What are you seeing from Johnson that makes you think he deserves the starting CHF spot?

    What I’ve seen is a workhorse who is willing to play a role for the team which may at times be unrewarded. 

    What I mean by this is he’s going to take a big defender and use his work ethic and power to create space JVR and Fritta. 
     

    A willing tackler who can pinch hit in the ruck. 

    Think Micocek at Collingwood and that’s the prototype.

    If he could deliver what Mihocek has for Collingwood over last 5 years would be an outstanding result!!

    I love that your side recognises we will make change this season rather than rolling out the same players in same possies. I’m interested whether your bench is just next best or what roles you see Woewodin, Turner, Melksham playing. 
    Noting I have not been to training but I suspect Sharp and Kynans speed and endurance combos will see them well in contention for bench and sub spots.

    Have a feeling Lindsay will need to build some form and fitness in the 2s as he will be contesting for some spots we have good depth in now at wing and HB. 

    Sharp to come in as the running HF connector. Windsor and Bowey to rotate with Billings across HB and Wing. Langford and Trac to rotate as our power forward/midfielders. Rivers to rotate with Oliver/Vines as follower.

    I agree it is and the sample size is short but what gives me hope is that once you have a body/build like AJ does that the role requires work ethic, strength and desire. They aren’t teachable unfortunately as we have learnt with many key forwards before (loathe to name weid, wattsy and Lucas cook).

    Assume this is round 1 rather than best 22 with Kozzy missing?

    Have you heard how serious the club is regarding Roy George?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
