    I'd say Jones is the only certrainty of that group to play.

    I'd like to see Maric, Spencer and Petterd of the rest.

    when are the teams for the 'main event' coming out? I can't handle the suspense. Do I get to Casey at 4pm or 7pm?????

    gr8 to see both Bennell and Jetta being played again.

    Although i have been a knocker of Newton in the past, seeing his name in our forward line looks so much better on paper- At least there is a target.

    I know the positions they have been named dont mean anything but i hope bailey swaps Dunn and Moloney.

    Final bench-

    Jones, Maric ( his bday on sat), PJ, Petterd

    I think we are a chance this week :)

    Agree.

    Newton on HFF. :o Is he going to be our Ryan O'Keeffe type of player? :P

    Great to see Jetta is playin Back Pocket this week:O!!! People may bag me, but im kinda exciting to see how Newton is gonna go on Sunday! Hopefully he gets a good run and earns his place in the forward line! This really should be his make or break season for Juice. Maric shouldn't even be named on the bench. Should be in the starting 18. PJ should have a run in the 2's and also Cheney. Also keen to see the progress of Bennell!!

  • Quote

    Bartram or Cheney will play, otherwise no taggers. Bartram has played well so far this year with hard tasks (Harvey, Davis) so wouldn't be dropped on form, and not likely to be dropped on match ups (Brown, Foley).

    Cheney hasn't done anything wrong either, but could prob use a week back at Casey to practice what he has learnt.

    I'd expect to see bench as Bartram, Petterd, Maric and Johnson.

    UPDATE: Bench is Bartrtam, Petterd, Jones and Johnson. You heard it here first.

  • Quote

    i for one hope bartram is one who misses out.

    Dont care about taggers, its the tigers. I would rather 22 people run out who can all have an impact offensively.

    As much as it hurts me to say Dunn can tag if need be but at least he can do something else than run with a player to hurt the opposition the other way.

    Congrats to big Meeson 2nd game in a row. Well deserved and cant wait to see how he goes against Simmonds

    Dunn tagged Foley in the the first game against the Tigers last year and did a pretty good job.

    I would prefer to see him on Delidio though, because he killed us last year and hates a hard tag. Bartram would not be able to go with Delidio, he would just take him forward and monster him.

    Don't know if anyone's been to training this week but I'd be surprised if Moloney plays.

    If Maric doesn't play it would be a crime.

    At least Newton didn't disgrace himself last week - he didn't play at all!

    I completely missed that.

    I guess I've learnt to shield myself from all things Newton-related by simply ignoring the fact that he exists.

    However with the sad realisation that Juice is apparently an automatic starter at Melbourne, I will now go and shed a little tear and say a little pray for Jack Watts (may he kick 25 goals on Saturday and leave us with no choice but to play him on Sunday in a last-minute change to the line-up).

    No Jones?

    Well I'd take Jones over Brock at the moment, and Moloney (if fit) over both.

    Petterd may take a miss, but I can't find a good reason to do so.

    And while I nearly always agree with Mousey, a tagger is required to stop someone like Brown tearing the game apart.

    *Sigh* Its at matchup time when I realise how much we'll miss Garland for his versatility in that he could play on someone as big as Richo or as small as Brown

    I'd guess Rivers will take Reiwoldt for his ability to lead up the ground, and Martin will get Morton closer to the square leaving Warnock to again follow Richo wherever he goes. Frawley would be left to match up on Brown by default almost.

  • Quote

    With Newton in for the MFC it gives Watts more space down at Casey, i'm happy with that.

    In: Maric

    Out: Bartram

    Simple.

  • Quote

    I'd love for Rivers to play on Richo, because not only can Rivers defend, but I trust that when he gets the ball he'll actually use it in a productive, meaningful way that will advantage our forwards.

    I can't see anyone else playing on Richo and being able to both successfully shut him down and make an impact on the game.

    Maybe Dunn could pick up Matthew Richardson out on the wing.

    Keep the defence 'in tact' as much as possible.

    How can Newton and Jetta be emergencies if they have been named on the ground?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • 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.
