I want ot see Robbo as the designated Full Foward with Green and Neitz in the pockets. Davey and Wonnie on the flanks keeping the forward pressure on!!!

    Remove Neitz and go Newton, have Neita as 2nd forward, get Maric in and Robbo out, keep Davey up forward!!! Sylvia doesn't belong in the forward line, no matter what his fans think.

    Someone speaking some sense... dont get me wrong im a massive neitz fan but if he was anyone else he would be dropped, not sure if newton is the answer but maybe try him one out no point leaving neitz down there if you are going to play newton. Davey must stay in the forward line id rather see him with 10 possions as a fwd then 25 as an onballer. Robbo sadly has to go, to slow.

    Can anyone name a fwd line in the league that could be slower then ours?

    Robbo was the worst Melbourne plyer on the ground yesterday by a mile! Terrible.

    It was interesting to hear Bailey's post-match comments on Robbo's game.

    He pointed out that Robbo has really excellent aerobic capacity and that he did, on a few occassions, run down to the backline to help out. Then he mentioned that we need more output from him and that it was disappointing that he didn't kick any goals (a rarity).

    While he was better this week in the midfield I still wouldn't mind seeing Green playing up forward alot more. He can take a mark and is still a reliable and accurate kick for goal... I personally think he has more value as a forward than a midfielder.

    Could he be an option? obviously not a KPP but another option none the less..

    If need new breath I reckon we also need someone down back like a Stef Martin who might be able to at least compete with some of the monster sized opposition forwards like Buddy and Tomahawk. A tall down there with the capacity to punch the ball away or at least through goals might have helped us make up more than half of last week's deficit.

    Neitz should retire on his own terms.

    I still believe that Newton is better suited to FF. Quick on a lead, and clever (at times). But without an engine to shine at CHF.

    Newton or Bate at FF. Some say Bate is useful in the middle. I say we should spread our talent and Bate is 193cm. He really should be looking to be a KPP.

    ...and in the previous two matches? :)

    Without knowing much about him what have we got to lose? Our forwardline is Neitz conscious, our delivery to Neitz was terrible today too. Robbo was just about worst on ground today, he provided nothing

    Maric to me isn't working hard enough yet & so hasn't earnt the respect to be considered for promotion.

    As well he's a talent in a small boys skin, Josh Hunt took Morton for a helicopter the other day, well we can't play Maric if it's windy or we may just loose him. :lol:

    Where did Wonaemirri play on Sunday [sorry, was playing cricket so couldn't watch]

    Asking because its hard to imagine a forward line containing all three of Wonaemirri, Davey and Maric

    Thanks for asking JJC...played for the the Hume & Hovell Explorers V the Crusaders...and we won in a boilover.

    DeeReaming bowled like a drain...managed to bowl a very unfortunate gent who was in two minds 4 or 6. My batting talents were not required.

    Injury News from Demonlanders involved:

    DeeReaming: Hamstring: Test

    Prodigal Son: Knee : Long Term Injury List

    Back to the Footy, Wonaemirri, how did you rate his performance?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
