    This is a danger game.

    Freo will not be easy to beat over there at all.

    We'll have to bring the same intensity as we displayed against Essendon

    Denby time. She debuted for the Red and Blue in the Freo away game last season. Showcased her speed and neat skills. Give her a run Mick.

    I agree she should replace Heath but who's gonna replace her role?

    B: Colvin, Gillard

    HB: Chaplin, O'Hehir, Goldrick

    C: McNamara, Hanks, Paxman

    HF: Bannan, Harris, Wotherspoon

    F: Gall, Zanker

    FOLL: Pearce, Hore, Fitzsimon

    For prematch meetups etc. the Western Demons usually plan something; not sure if they are on this occasion.

    With Heath out, I wonder if they'll think about bringing in Dethridge.

    Good thought. It would be awesome for Milly to debut. She is really strong, aerobic, and has tagged well at VFLW.

    Looking at the extended bench, only Milly and Maggie would be considered 'mids' but not direct replacements for Heater. Who is?

    Dingo is the probably the safe option together with a mids reshuffle. Mick could send Chappy into the centre to create some havoc.

    Imagine if I did that every month! The original meaning behind it doesn't really make sense since it was pre-AFLW or at least summer AFLW: to be thinking positively of the Dees in October rather than clutching hopelessly at straws in trade & draft (see other board 😅 ). The Dees W have solved that yucky October feeling nicely, most of the time!

    I'll be happy if it's Dingo but also excited if it's Dethridge, just to have had every active player play! "Really strong" is obviously what we need...

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
