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?

May 10, 2025May 10

Jeffo to never play again! JVR to backman duties and Disco to FF

May 10, 2025May 10

Melksham, Viney, Petty in.

You could make a case for half a dozen to be dropped, mainly from the forward line, but hard to see Jefferson staying. For the rest ...

May 10, 2025May 10

IN: Viney - Melksham - Petty

OUT: Tholstrup - Oliver - Jefferson

May 10, 2025May 10

Either fritsch or van rooyen to be dropped. Disgraceful we couldn't get a goal between them.

Sorry but Oliver needs to be dropped. Provided nothing today.

Jefferson definitely dropped.

May 10, 2025May 10

delist - mj

out - spargo, fritsch

in - brown, adams/sestan, petty

May 10, 2025May 10

Either something is not right with May or he’s a shadow of his former self and I query giving him an extra year in 2026

Plugger Mac is by some margin the best tall defender

May 10, 2025May 10

In - viney, petty and Melksham

Out - Fritsch, Kolt and Jefferson

Maybe Oliver or Lindsay as the sub at the Gabba

May 10, 2025May 10

I thought Clarry did well on Newcombe

wouldn’t drop or sub him

May 10, 2025May 10

Is Viney available?

Partly all of the above, but you only get AA May when Lever is in the side.

May 10, 2025May 10

Drop fritsch. He is so lazy off the ball.

Should never have been brought back in after that 1 week

May 10, 2025May 10

Suspect that the recruiting team are already working overtime desperately trying to find us a key forward. Or a key back, so Turner/Petty can stay forward.

May 10, 2025May 10

In: Petty, Viney, Melksham, Laurie

Out: Jefferson, Fritsch, Oliver, Tholstrup

I'm not a huge wrap for Sharp but at least he is fit and will give repeat efforts. Tholstrup doesn't look quite ready and not sure why we rushed him in off injury.

Doubt Oliver gets dropped but was a liability today with some of his efforts.

Give jeffo at least a month in the VFL to find and consolidate form.

Reward Laurie for being one of Casey's best consistently, even if only as sub.

May 10, 2025May 10

Time to manage May and Gawn. Melksham is not the future. Unless there is a gameplan reason time to try someone else.

Foward line solution... Like the coach I have no idea

May 10, 2025May 10

May is getting a bit long in the tooth but he was fine today TBH. Bigger problems than his form.

Jefferson put in a stinker after a puzzling selection to begin with. I want him to succeed but I can’t see it after that. That was almost papers stamped-level bad.

Can’t have Fritsch playing that badly and keep his spot. JVR is a worry but I think he can contribute as second ruck again.

In. Viney, Melksham, Petty

Out. Jefferson, Fritsch and Spargo/Sharp/Tholstrup

Can see us putting up a good show at the Gabba and still losing by 40+.

May 10, 2025May 10

I’d go a triple change of key forwards:

JVR, Fritsch, Jeffo all out. AJ, Melk, Petty in.

Don’t think either Sharp or Kolt are up for it right now.

Maybe Kynan Brown as sub.

May 10, 2025May 10

Now confirmed by Goody post match that Viney entered protocols on Thursday and won't play against Brisbane next week.

May 10, 2025May 10

That is bad news about viney, especially with Brisbane's midfield

Damn, viney is out again for the Gabba game 😥

In - petty and Melksham

Out - kolt and Jefferson

Sub - Fritsch (lucky)

May 10, 2025May 10

In Petty Melksham Sestan

Out Jefferson Fritsch Oliver

NB: Viney out a further week. Rivers to play mid. Sestan to debut back.

100 percent agree. He looks confused out there. Slow to kick it in. Loses his opponent all the time.

Just trying to understand how you would even have this as a consideration… Lindsay is already so important & so good. Strange one Nicko

The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
