McVee and Gawn escaped with no sanction from the Match Review Panel

Unusual to be on the right side of the MRO or tribunal.

Thought McVee was gone for all money.

    i thought reid would have gotten done for a week too, they are obviously all on paid holidays to Europe or some bs
     

    How can you win when the opposition have 3 or 4 players getting around 30 touches each week when only Oliver looks like getting around that on a regular basis. All our midfield can get that many, but only once or twice a year. Most of them struggle to get 20. What happened to the string of handballs and run instead of dumping it long.

    I feel like you can’t have Fritsch Johnson Jefferson and van Rooyen in the same forward line

    Petty must be in the last chance corral, or close to it. No idea who replaces him if he goes out, feels like it's just shuffling the deck chairs.

    A forward line of Jeffo, El Jeffo and El Jeffo Cantina would surely get the job done!

    Time to gel the backline for future years - disco, petty, adams, lever as talls. If May has another year use him forward instead of flicking disco and petty all over the place.

    Might as well play Jeffo, JvR up forward for the rest of the year to see what we’ve got. Maybe even Kentfield.

    No real point in playing TMac or Melky now if retirement is on the horizon.

    Hows this for a wild idea.

    Why not try Petty in the backline where he was a premiership defender?????

    Why not have Langdon on a wing where he can use his endurance, run and carry out of the back half and into the forward line?????????

    And may try the young bloke Windsor on the other wing where he almost won the rising star last year??????

    I wonder if any of these would work???????

    It's because we suck again, so they are not after us. 🫠

    Looking forward to seeing Petty, JVR and Disco kicking 10 between them again at Gold Coast.

    Bring back T Mac to stiffen up our defence. If the club was giving him a mid season rest to recharge his batteries, then that's totally understandable. However he'll be needed next week.

    Swap May and Petty.
    bring in sport psych to deal with kicking.

    Be thankful I haven't spent money on flights/accommodations/beers for the next few weekends.

    I want to see the following side for the Gold Coast game (assuming fitness).

    Ins: Jefferson, Sestan & Tholstrup

    Outs: Melksham, Salem & Sparrow

    B: Bowey May McVee

    HB: Howes Turner Lever

    C: Windsor Oliver Lindsay

    HF: Chandler Petty Petracca

    F: Pickett Jefferson Fritsch

    R: Gawn Langford Rivers

    Int: van Rooyen Langdon Sestan Tholstrup

    Sub: Viney

    I know this won't happen, but I want to see Goodwin get some gonads and make some tough decision.

    I also wouldn't be opposed to Adams playing ahead of Lever and May at some point.

    If Viney does play a full game, GET HIM OUT OF THE MIDFIELD!! Play Trent as the primary mid and maybe give Viney 20% of CBAs max.

    To be fair, Demonland is full of criticisms of Goodwin for not trying different things. It would appear he's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

    We have one, alongside Ben Crowe who also covers this area.

    Both presumably working overtime at the moment.

    More he flip flops if it doesn't work straight away. You need to stick to a plan. Not just rotate players in and out continually.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
