Think not picking JVR for this game and relentlessly picking Melksham is an indictment on our selection panel. Yet it doesn’t surprise me. Goodwin has his favourites.

    INS – Melksham, Turner

    Fascinating. No JVR - who gives Maxy a chop out?

    Happy with the ins,

    Jvr needs another couple good weeks against decent opposition.

    Now with mcvee back it frees up rivers or Windsor to shift mid. Id get Caleb to the wing and Langford to play majority clarry minutes in the guts

    Let’s hope that’s the last we see of Fullarton

    Would prefer Turner back to intercept and Petty fwd/ruck

    Petty I'd assume, he's actually not a zero in there.

    Well one change makes sense. Assuming Disco back and Rivers into the pivot from Clarry.

    The other one? Fritsch and Melksham in the same forwardline and no back up ruck/forward in JVR, Johnson or Campbell. It’s not like they can build form at Casey with no game.

    • Shocked 1

    It would have been good to see JVR build on his 5 goals but that'll have to wait until next week because Casey have a bye.

    I don't know how playing a 33 year old who isn't in stellar form himself over our most promising key forward makes sense.

    Don’t think JVR and Melk were really competing for the same spot.

    With our new game plan, I think we need Melk with his great kicking and fast ball movement.

    But I am surprised we are going so short up front

    Also Tom Mac.


    Turner forward or back?

    Not a fan of a single key forward and Eagles have a tall forward line.

    Rivers presumably gets full midfield minutes

    Not if we play Turner forward?

    Absolutely staggered that JvR wasn't selected. Wtf

    I’m surprised too

    possible though we didn’t rate AJ and JVR dominating in a 120 pt smashing. JVR has been poor all year. I don’t him earning his place over a couple of weeks

    Would have picked AJ though

    Disco

    I know I'm being impatient but teams aren't available for view on the MFC or AFL app, nor any other games except for tonight. Anyone else having the same problem?

    im not sure the teams are final. The AFL site still has "Full teams to be announced". Some clubs with TBC etc.

    Surprised Fritta still in the side, not really.

    Surprised Melk in the side, not really.

    Surprised no proper back up for Maxy, not really.

    Not really surprised by any selection or non selection really. SSDW.

    True but then it’s just old mates May and Tom at the back against the tall Eagles

    I can hear a hamstring popping already

    Max has had a 9 day break, settle down people!!

    I’m sure one of Petty, Turner & Tmac will give him a chop out

    Wish they could give Laurie a go, would’ve been a good chance with Clarrie out 35 poss last week & 2 goals all be it against very ordinary opposition

    Wishing clarry all the best.

    Thought we’d get Turner and Laurie in. Little perplexed but go team

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      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?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
