May and Pickett both named. The only defensive emergency cover is Howes.

McVee, Kentfield and Jefferson all returning via VFL.

    Clown school, none of our elite midfielders dropped. Goody hasn’t quite yet worked out the fwds may not be the problem. The sooner he’s gone the better.

    Exactly what we should rewarding form and standards. Sparrow should have been ommitted as well and Kolt straight in says more about what available below.

    Yeah but we’re dropping Fritsch after his best game of the last month, bringing Turner back after one week and no Casey game (so why TF did we drop him last week) and Kolt comes back without a VFL game. It’s haphazard.

    Demons selections are just as confusing as Trumps flip flopping tariff wars.

    Yeah let’s put Fullarton in for his first game against one of the best back lines in the league yet we had the chance to play him last week against a shizen Bombers backline. Makes perfect sense.

    A few suggestions that Fritta should be dropped this week.

    Given he wasn't dropped after hitting rock bottom in round 3, and actually playing better footy the last 2 weeks including a sizzling goal from the 50 arc, I'd have his omission chances at approximately 0% this week.

    Aged well

    Best game? He refused to chase again and celebrates a goal when we are getting pumped. This surely is not surprising.

    Haphazard at bloody best!


    It's the timing that I can't understand..

    We needed these changes a couple of weeks ago.

    Turner and Fullerton now after no Casey last week?

    Fritch now after he was finally beginning to show signs of turning a corner?

    And of course who could forget the classic instant "in" after a long injury lay off in Tholstrup.

    I dont agree with Kolt in with no match fitness just like I didnt agree with it with Melksham or Spargo. Fritsch game had more possession but his game was poor. I agree we are making changes that should have happened the week before ie: Fullerton in JVR/Fritsch out. I dont understand how Sparrow has survived and think we should have had more like 5 out then 3 but have no issue with the 3 chosen.

    Fritsch 10 weeks too late

    Next the Butchers in the midfield - anyone that bombs it in a fails to hit a target -drop them

    Oscar McDonald will be the 2nd ruck for Fremantle according to Justin Longmuir's press conference today. Interesting to see how Oscar plays

    Yeah. Best game. Relative to the ones before.

    It’s surprising that it’s happened this week, when it didn’t happen for the last 3 weeks.

    Yeah, I think we actually largely agree on all this. I also think dropping 3 forwards but no mids in one week is unhelpful when a significant portion of our problem is in the midfield.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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?
