There you go CB, Petterd named down back. That will make you happy.

I think it's a good move, with Watts and Jurrah now forward, Ricky P down back, where he's played his best footy could be a welcome addition...

Still would've liked Juice to come in for Robbo...

No McDonald, no Jamar. Wonder how far off these two are then?

Whelan picked ahead of Cheney, can anyone explain this?

Management !! ;)

MELBOURNE coach Dean Bailey has defended his club's handling of Jack Watts in the face of the intense media scrutiny that has followed the 18-year-old's debut.

SUCCESSIVE poor losses may have intensified the scrutiny of Melbourne's progress, but Dean Bailey is adamant his team has taken great strides forward this season and will continue to improve.

Jones an emergency? Anybody know the reasoning behind this? You'd think if he was fit, he'd be in. If not, he'd be out.

I think it's important to help continue the winning form of our partners, Casey, & they've been left a little thin with their goal scoring ability.

If Jones or someone else were to help them out in the interests of Team balance, I think that would be very healthy for our young'uns development.

I'd like to see young Strauss cut loose this week @ Williamstown I think, Saturday.

in jack grimes, out travis johnstone.

edit: though TJ is listed as back injury (test), which in some ways is even more ironic.

:blink::unsure: ?

the trade for whom we got grimes. as with any such 'trade an experienced player for a pick' scenario there was constant discussion about whether it was any good. grimes is getting a game this week, TJ isn't. win for the dees. then i heard TJ was injured (back) given grimes history of back injuries i felt it was suitably ironic that TJ was out with one.

Cheney is stiff, and I don't get why he isn't being played ahead of Whelan. Dropping him after one game is rough.

I also don't know why we dropped Bartram for Petterd, and not for Jonesy.

Very very happy and excited to watch Watts and Jurrah go around again!

I'm going to guess that Jones maybe isn't quite right and they're going to wait until Saturday to see how he is. As good an explaination as any. I'd be surprised if he is running around for Casey this weekend. I'd say he'll be playing for the Dees or not at all.

great move keeping Watts in, he should play every game from now on, sick of press giving him hardtime..........................Jones out no good

Emg: N.Jones

What the?

I'm convinced that they don't rate him. They didn't rate him last year and starting him on the bench every week in a midfield like ours tells me the same thing. I think he will struggle to stay on the list definate contender for the Gold Coast. They still refuse to change their midfield though which amazes me I thought Bailey was going to keep playing Valenti what happened to that? What about giving McKenzie a go? The midfield is a joke and it's not going to change with the same faces there. What are they doing with Whelan? Are they just trying to get to 150 games? cause on form there is no way he should be getting a game.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    2024 Player Reviews: #10 Angus Brayshaw

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
