Good ins I reckon.

Pickett, Windsor and Spargo are all probably in our top five kicks and Turner player a blinder in the VFL.

Happy 100th to Spargs as well!

    If only Captain Parmenter were in the side.

    Four changes, so we can add Sergeant O’Rouke, Corporal Agarn and Chief Wild Eagle too.

    Fritta very lucky - last chance to impact the scoreboard or back to the magoos (if Goody has any selection integrity)

    What a gutless team selection, same old players get dropped

    MAKE A STATEMENT GOODWIN

    How can Fritsch still be getting a game, he was terrible last year and absolutely woeful in the 3 games so far this year, his body language is infecting the whole team.

    The poor buggers confidence is shot and would probably really benefit with some pressure off at Casey.

    Billings, Howes & Johnson will be back in in a couple of weeks along with Woey, where as Laurie will continue good form at Casey & never get a look in other than a sub. Why in Gods name was he given a 3 year contract & then not given a chance!!

    Goodwin once upon a time wouldn't play Fritsch as a forward even though we were screaming for it. Now we can't get him to get Fritsch out of the forward line even though he isn't even Coldstream seconds level at the moment.

    There's been plenty of bigger upsets than us winning this but my jaw will dislocate in shock if it happens.

    Laurie should be in for Spargo. Just don’t understand why players get a free run at playing seniors with little footy behind them. Laurie deserves a solid run at it.

    Laurie must be wondering what he has to do to get a game but Henderson and Sharp walk into the team and aren't playing very well

    We look a lot better on paper.

    Good changes overall, Billing Howes, AJ have been poor and deserve to be dropped

    Pace, skill and youth come in

    Add Lever, McVee, Kolt and Lindsay and drop the likes of Sharp, Hendo and we start to look pretty good

    I agree he has been down on form and has put in some poor efforts. But he kicked 41.23 in a poor team last year, so that is not terrible

    He finally started to get involved last week with 15 touches and 8 scoring involvements so to drop him would be not the best move for the team. Clearly guys like AJ were worse

    I agree on Laurie though

    Excuse my ignorance but am i correcting in thinking Spargo is replacing Billings?

    Different positions, different kinds of players. It would be Laurie for Sparrow, and doubt that’s happening anytime soon.

    True but I reckon Laurie could play at HF or small fwd or even wing. He bring better skills than Sharp

    Sparrow has been one of our few decent players this year so agree he won't be dropped

    Oliver on the pine. Surprising. I would have thought Petracca or Viney before him

    Wait do people think that these announced team lineup positions are actually the definite positions they start at on the day/night? Its just slapped together really. I doubt Sparrow starts on a wing either...

    Looks like Fritta has called Goody's bluff, he still getting a game in the seniors. A reason we are playing so badly is that the players have lost respect for the coach. Perhaps our CEO should put Goody on notice in the media.

    Melbourne to win by 24 pts ( in an alternative world) .Kangaroos to win by 23 pts.

    I’m driving down to Kitty-litter Park tomorrow with a couple of Geelong supporting mates. Banking on a win so I don’t have to hear their dribble on the way back.

    Spargo, Melksham and Salem. All we need is Lever to return and Goody will have all his favourites back together.

    Yeah, but I think Melksham is a good favourite. I expect him to lead the forward line with his verbal messages. Hope he finds form too.

    Agree, will be good to get Lever back and all our senior players out there

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
