Looks like McDonald in the whites jumper (B team) and Kynan Brown in the Blue (A team) at training.. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Oh for goodness sake...surely they're not even remotely considering dropping our best defender from last week.

    Well Petty is coming back through the reserves and May will be in for Lever so I reckon McDonald stays in.

    Interesting that Petty's confirmed VFL this week because he hasn't played for 4 weeks.

    They've brought back senior players straight back into the side off way longer lay offs.

    A soft drop?

    Photos could be misleading. Laurie and Brown in both white and blue jumpers.

    Petracca and Gawn also in white in one of the photos.

    Could be. Could also be that this is his second concussion this season and they want to see how he pulls up, and given our season is over in terms of finals, there’s no point risking him.

    It’s also possible that they are determined to keep Jeffo and JVR in the seniors for a few more weeks.

    I’ve been guilty of assuming the jumper colours at training indicate selection. But I suspect this is the answer.

    Today, we saw photos of the following:

    Blue - Gawn, Langdon, Oliver, Turner, Fritsch, Trac, Laurie, Bowey, Brown, Windsor

    White - Gawn, Trac, Rivers, Woewodin (albeit these four were white vests over blue jumpers), Campbell, Laurie, Mentha, Billings, TMac

    So Laurie clearly in both blue and white.

    All told, tells us little I would have thought.


    I like that they are persisting with jeffo and Kolt , but I would have like to see X get a rest, or maybe they will make him the sub

    The coaches are clearly seeing something with Sharp that I'm not.

    I'd much rather give Laurie a run.

    Reckon they've stamped Bill's card.

    Sharp was very good in the VFL last week, as was Billings and Spargs, all could be a like for like replacement.

    Unlucky for Howes who played a blinder as well

    Big midfield battle coming up, will be a good test

    He got a 3 week rest.


    Sharp will be sub

    He is a good sub option

    Very good changes overall

    Glad Petty has to earn his spot and we are keeping youth in

    I would not say Spargo was very good for Casey last week. 16 disposals for an experienced AFL player in a lower league is, at best good. I’d say he was ok.

    Like a few others, I’m slightly mystified by Sharp’s selection.

    I would have brought back Howes for Sparrow, played him on the wing, done a few other ‘swings and roundabouts’ and trialed Langford as an inside mid / forward (which is where I think his future lies).

    ………. but that’s just me, and others are far better placed than me, to make such a call!

    Out of interest, which defender would you drop for Howes?

    He is being groomed as a backman. When he’s played for the demons several times he hasn’t shown much. So a good game at Casey might not be enough to work his way in

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
