I don't know how set in stone the sheet is, but hmmm.

No Scully.

Jones at fullback.

Bell at full forward.

Jurrah and Cheney on ball.

Should this team sheet be taken with a grain of salt? I know the positions are nothing to worry too much about, but NO SCULLY!!!

 

The one I can find has Scully in the team

Link? I can't seem to find it on the AFL site or the Dees Official site.

The only teamsheet I found is the squad with player numbers and not the position lineup.

Looks like they have listed the team in numerical order and put them in the positions.

I don't think it's the "real" lineup.

Certainly Cheney is not rucking and Bell is not Full forward.

Jeeze that's a pretty good pick up! That's exactly what they've done.

What gave it some credibility was the article on Bell saying he's going to play forward a la Max Rooke, and then sure enough - listed at full forward!

I wonder why Scully, Rivers, and MacDonald aren't in. It looks like we've either gone for speed (with Scully not quite worth the risk yet after his knee injury), or we've tried to fit as many on-ballers into the team as possible.

And Jones at Full-Back! Love it! (Maybe someone should tell the powers at be "tanking" is over...!) LOL

I think you've misunderstood. It appears as if the AFL have made this lineup and just listed the first 22 numbers and put them into position. Obviously Melbourne have not given them the lineup and i'm sure Scully, Rivers and McDonald will be playing.

Well almost.

The seemed to have missed these four:

26 Joel Macdonald

27 Jared Rivers

31 Tom Scully

34 Stefan Martin

They also missed:

39 Neville Jetta

42 Jake Spencer

47 James Strauss

Yep. Agreed. And the 4 interchange players are our highest jumper numbers, They've put our first 18 numbers listed on the ground, and then jumped to the last four on the list for the interchange.

My bad?

My Good Lord I'm looking forward to tonight.

Will be interesting to see Morabito in action too. To quote a poster from last year on G Ablett Jr: "No doubt he'll kick 5 goals, get 40 possessions, take mark of the year, rescue a family from a burning building, and successfully mate the pandas at the Melbourne Zoo."

Should we try to line JT up on him?

why do they always do that, here's the conversation between 2 useless AFL website janitors

-we need a team sheet to put on the site

-but we don't know the final squad

-oh well just name the first 26 on the list and be done with it

-but then what is the point of making a team sheet if it is just going to be inaccurate

-shhh do you want to be out of a job

No Pav or Sandilands could be interesting

Doubt the club would have told the media Scully was playing, if he wasn't.

The people who work at AFL.com are lazy. They should have coached us last year when we were desperately trying to lose.


I use that program/ screen all the time for Dream Team, and its always like that.

They have to come up with a team to put on there in advance, so you would rather that they just try and guess who would get cut? And then lead people to believe that it is the official team.

Looking under Stats - Team Stats gives the full 30 man squad that is named on the AFL Website anyway, the team ground sheet is just automatically filled in based on number.


I cant wait to watch Liam again.

 

might have to wait awhile, rumour about he's not playing tonight

I've looked everywhere... where have these rumours come from?

Jones Twittered this in the morning:

Here he is, The WiZArd just chilling over the paper and some breakfast ... I'm feeling a show from the big fella!!

What has happened since this morning that will make Jurrah have to pull out of the game?

He's playing, got a whisper from a player sponsor, obviously misinformed or being a smart a**

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
