This is bizarre as it just invites speculation from media et al

Should have just put him on the injury list from the get go which is what every other club does when they want to buy time. Ensures if there are other issues it is kept in house.

I can see King being asked at every press conf. He doesn't need the noise or distraction.

I agree, it is bizarre. But as I was told by more than one person, Richo decides these things.

    The Casey players are coming out now. Jeffo feels fine and is happy @picket fence

    Kalani isn’t playing tomorrow but has been told he’s right for next week but surprise surprise: Casey has a bye next week 🙄

    There’s an Easter egg hunt lined up for today. Look out players’ kids, I’ll elbow your little heads outta the way if it means chocolate. JK. I’m an adult.

    Melky’s kids are here. Frankie his daughter asked me If I’m gonna wear her dad’s number tomorrow. I said yes but since Luker’s not out here with the Casey boys I’m thinking the #44 might get a gig 🤷‍♀️

    I would be astounded if he got a gig on no training for what is it a month??

    Laurie in for Fritta is what I make of that.

    For the record what is the song?

    It’s called I Want Your Soul by Armand Van Helden. It was released about 20 years ago. Spaz has clearly influenced some of the boys in terms of their taste in music. He’s a huge fan of this genre.

    I lost confidence in him over the last few years. No idea how he has survived.

    Yeah that doesn’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence… (appreciate the info though)

    Maybe he is trying to get fired for an early payout trigger? I mean given his performance of late…

    And if I may say ...

    Kalani is very thin

    Gawn looks lean and in excellent shap

    Culley with the hoodie onlooks like he has walked off the set of a horror movie.

    I think Luker will come in for Fritsch.

    Laurie is competing with the likes of Sharp, Chandler, Latrelle and perhaps Culley, and is fighting a losing battle with his lack of pace and size.

    Would've loved to seen him get more games under Goodwin when he deserved a run at it. Unfortunaly for him I think it's going to be another bridesmaid year as an emergency.

    Luker hasn't played for 4 weeks, it would be madness to play with limited match preparation and fitness!

    We’re going to be extremely tall if we are replacing Jiath, Cross and Fritsch with Turner, Melksham and Kentfield.

    If Fritta is out, and Luker isn't in, I guess it's Laurie or Heath?

    I reckon they rest Fritta, that's why Milkshake's in the team, so expect either Laurie or Kentfield to play. I reckon Laurie tomorrow and Kentfield in the next round or two.

    He didn’t train yesterday.

    Is it possible he has a virus and the club is keeping under wraps.

    Hoping he might be able to play.?

    My wife woke up with one this morning - bit of a basket case now.

    Fair point. Though I think Turner can play tall and small, Cross and Melksham are similar medium forwards types while Kentfield would play as a 3rd genuine tall instead of a hybrid. We do lose quite a bit of run in the forward half though so perhaps Laurie will be favoured (assuming Fritsch does come out).

    Never mind. It's official now on the mfc site.

    Fritsch out

    Laurie in

    Pretty sure someone was pushing it pretty hard a couple of years ago – monocular?

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
