    We need to put some pressure on the selectors to pick realistic sides to wear the Demons jumper.

    If you want a reply from someone in particular you might want to try the PM function.

    Team selection is not the panacea for our ills.

    Fwiw, I think our selections have been decent. You might quibble, but you're essentially arguing about who our 21st or 22nd (fit) players are.

    I disagree.

    We need to put a more physically strong side on the park, at least until we get some MOJO going.

    I don't know how things are between assistant coaches, but I'd like to think Our current coach is not being hung out, by the rest of the selectors, for some other agenda. There's ben a lot of talk about coaches, and Not giving your coach the players he wants is an easy way to discredit him.

    That's why I want to know who the selectors are.

    It's never been a secret before, that they're the 'Invisable Men'.

    It doesn't matter who's on the committee, anyone who's on it will just be the advisors and Dean will have the final say. This isn't the Australian Cricket team, there's one guy in charge who lives and dies by the team's on field position, so will have the final say in selection.

    No, I don't know for a fact that Dean has the ultimate right of veto, but it's an absolute joke if he doesn't.

    I don't think so nash, In ther old days the selectors all had a vote on who made the team, Inc' the coach.

    I can't believe bailey would put his neck in the Noose, by playing such a slight and whimpish side against the more robust teams. Yes we need games into them, and I'm one of the biggest pushers of the Youth policy. But letting them go in with no physical size & lacking leadereship and direction is a recipe to get rid of the Coach.

    Are you saying Bailey wants a payout. I don't think so. So the selections are a quandry. It almost feels he's being directed to coach a kindergarten team. OK against the Suns, but not against the Hawks or the Pies/ Eagles/ Cats!!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
