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!!!

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    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**

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
