Stiff on Turner. Thought he showed a lot last year - much more than Petty - after never playing forward before that.

Hope he gets another shot, or if not, I hope we try to make him a defender again.

He's sick according to the website

    Turner has been withdrawn due to illness, according to the MFC website.
    One man's misfortune is another's opportunity. El Jefe makes the team and Johnson the bench. Let's see what you can do.

    Looked like Kolt had a mask on (under the chin) so might have been a couple sick?

    Ahh fair enough, missed that.

    Opportunity for Jeffo then... knowing he has to take it or someone is breathing down his neck for the spot.

    I’m sure Disco will get another Turn(o) 

     

    I have been waiting for this moment since I created the username tbh

    It’s genuinely exciting and I reckon watching the Tigers should give us all encouragement for what’s coming up. Sharp has experience, you can say the same for Johnson and Henderson and Langford and Lindsay are high, ready to play draftees and Jefferson appears to have shown enough to get his chance. I say bring it on, I’d much rather be here than where Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon are.

    They did show their 1-wood of overlap running and linking by hand.  All well and good but the conditions at the G on Sunday will not favour this.

    Why? If you have the right cattle and they’re fit I reckon you could take an overlap running game anywhere. And anytime.

    I don’t know much about Henderson… what’s he good at? What role will he play on Sunday? Our forward line feels stodgy - hoping he’s good quick and accurate at the drop of the ball

    Filthy that Tom Green is playing. Surely he'll be cooked early leaving Clarry and Trac to dominate clearances.

    Bit harsh picket. In the wet, you want strong second efforts for when the ball hits the deck which I think Johnson delivers in spades

    Tend to agree, IHW. Johnson will also clear (physically) those gathering opposition packs in the wet, thus enabling first and second efforts for the mighty Dees, with bumps, shepherds and blocks. Tough nut time, mongrel motivations. Feels good already.

    I can tell you all Goody’s thought process.

    Kids last night beat Carlton. Carlton thumped GWS in preseason. Therefore kids will beat GWS. It’s flawless logic.

    I’m excited to see how the new breed go and am pumped that J Billings won’t play.

    The average age of Sunday's listed players - 25.5 - is over 2.5 years younger than the team Collingwood fielded against GWS last weekend (28.2). There are 15 players under 28, and 8 over. 

    • Under 23: 8 players
    • 23 to 27: 7
    • 28 to 29: 5 (Fritsch, Lever, Langdon, Petracca, Salem)
    • Over 30: 3 (Viney, May, Gawn)

    No knock on any of the debutants and super pumped to see them all out there but I'm perplexed about leaving Disco out. 

    After that Gold Coast game at the end of last year where he made Sam Collins look like an U12 defender, all summer i've been pumped to see Disco rip it apart this year. 

    Obviously i'm sure he won't be out of the side for long but still i'm surprised at his omission.

    I might be wrong but this is definitely a changing of the guard moment. This will be a genuine journey. We might surprise but people should temper their expectations.

    Turner ill makes sense. He is ahead of Jefferson obviously.

    Can the Billings hate end? It’s so unbecoming. He is depth. He is not going to affect the result in any meaningful way - if we lose, you will know that our best players didn’t do what they needed to do.

    Totally agree about Billings.

    Leave the bloke alone - he’s a Melbourne player.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
