    surely just the one change to the final team, with Bell, Miller and Bartram as emergencies?

    Good deductions.

    Obviously the only one with a chance of being dropped from that extended bench is Bennell and I would think he would stay.

    Yep. It's time for Dunny to get another chance (possibly his last?) to prove himself at this level, after several strong performances with Casey.

    Where's Watts?? :(

    Back at school I reckon. We might see him with a couple of games to go. I also think it's time for Cale to have a rest and earn his spot again.

    Where's Watts?? :(

    tuning chicks, playing computer games, sneaking out with his mates to the local park to drink beers, I don't know? what else do 18 year olds do

    I think he should play three games in a row with casey and then work his way into the senior team after the skilled and manuka games in three weeks time...

    btw, why would an 18 year old sneak to the local park when they can finally get into the pub? ;)

  • Quote

    Will be either just the one change (either Dunn or Bell for Sylvia), or one or more of Moloney, Bennell or Martin will be at Casey (where they've all been named on an extended bench).

    Surely whoever's the "in" (or "ins", as the case may be) needs to stay "in" for at least 3 weeks. There's absolutely no point having them "in" one week and "out" the next.

    School on a sunday?

    My predicted interchange:

    Moloney, Martin, Bennell, Miller.

    Miller will get picked I think for another try.

    mate, i was just stuffing around, stop being so logical. He is just a kid, that was my point.

    hence the wink

    Maybe. They will not beat Adelaide at AAMI besides they are probably saving him for the Derby.

    Disappointed that one of Miller, Bell, Bartram and Dunn is going to get a game in front of Watts and Cheney. Of those listed, I'd prefer Bartram.

    I think it will be either Dunn or Bartram. Leaning towards Dunn.

    I reckon Dunn in for Sylvia.

    No way moloney would get dropped after his game last week.

    Watts will be sick for a few more games I reckon :)

    Playing at casey tomoro!!

    Good idea to send him back, and make him earn his spot back in the side. Should be a lot better for the run in the big time and have more influence at vfl level.

    On Watts, I reckon they will select him for Geelong down at Skilled next week.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
