    That's a pretty strong side on paper. 

    Feeling more confident than most that we can give it a shake this year.

    Billings disposal is still a worry - 2 unforced clangers today.

    Haven’t watched the 2nd half yet, but did a couple nice things in the first. Seems to at least look a lot more comfortable out there compared to last year.

    That’s good 23, although on today’s form, Howes might not be there.

    He got better the longer the game went and does stick to his task.

    But mostly the 2 main competitors for his job got injured today (plus McVee is already out).

    hard to argue with the make-up of the team but for opening bounce - and it's purely semantics - i don't think viney and petracca will be starting on the pine, nor windsor

    very interested to see how we mix up that running half-back and defensive wingman role in 2025 - windsor, salem, bowey, lindsay, and woey 2.0 all look more than capable of waxing and waning in the position

    I read where Sestan was impressive off half back in the two’s. Is he a chance for a run next week to take AMW’s spot? I’d certainly like to see him given a shot.

    Interested you have Billing’s ahead of Langdon on wing. I know it’s only semantics. Are you thinking Billing’s for a good season

    no, i'm thinking #postivelingers to rotate straight into the midfield

    i don't think he'll play much wing this year; more half forward / rover

    If he is playing in our side in any capacity I’m of some concern to be honest. Does some nice things but too many errors come with it. With 8-9 players who *will* come back into our side surely he would be pushed to the end of the emergency list.

    Still think it lacks a tall. When JVR goes into the ruck our forward line is fairly uncompetitive. 
     

    One of Johnson or Jeffo will have a spot in Round 1 imo. (Or Tmac back and Petty forward)

    Billings? No.

    AMW would have played as he is an excellent tackler and good on the very quick crafty small forward. Not sure we have a replacement.
     

    Bowey is a poor tackler and Salem too slow. Kynan Brown has pace and DNA, but not been playing in that role. With McVee out and GWS with elite small forwards, it’s a glaring issue.

    Can Sestan take the McVee spot?

    Not sure. I’ve not seen enough of him live in the back half. He certainly has the disposal, but AMW and McVee are defend first, attacking backman.
    Rivers obviously can, but he appears to be too valuable in the midfield now.

    My thoughts as well.

    It’s a a bad round 1 opponent to face given their plethora of quality small forwards (Greene, Daniels, Jones) and we’re already two accountable small defenders down.

    I reckon Brown could potentially play the McVee role but it’s probably too late in the piece to up-skill him down back.

    Chandler should and likely will play round 1.

    Creates a good outlet from wing to inside 50 and has tremendous goal sense. Without Kozzie we’re, down a small forward and we’re going to have to find 13-15 goals to beat GWS and Chandler’s proven that he can snag 2-3 at the G when on song.

    I agree with you that Howes and Laurie provide no point of difference as players.

    Woey could do it.

    • 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.

      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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
