Listened to his press conference.

I reckon he is the big smokey.

Got balls, dropped Sylvia and Jurrah.

He is all determination, dosnt give a fcuk about pretenses.

No more pre-madonna's at this club. Hit the ball hard or fcuk off.

I AM GLAD TO BE MELBOURNE AGAIN!!!!

Great, but the selections are a little baffelling

Jurrah - has played some shocking footy in 2011, but even when he plays badly seems to get goals.

Sylvia - if it's an attitude thing, fine, but having a decent year stats wise + our only goal kicking mid

Bold moves, but doesn't it move us further from winning this week? Make the statements, put players in their places, but we still have a chance to put ourselves in finals, not just a mathematical chance but one that is ours to grab. Sure the season has been a disspointment but it's about winning games - not ensuring we finish 10th

This game is about making a statement of the type of Footy we gonna play future. A BIG statement.

That is more Important than the 4 points this week.

This game is about our future, our 2012, 2013, 2014, et al... sending a message to the Footy world!

I like the decision to drop Sylvia and Jurrah - a statement had to be made. I liked his press conference. But I don't like our chances.

I think all we can ask for is 100 percent effort and that seems to be what Todd is demanding. Good on him.

Massive smokey, considering he's said he doesn't want to Coach (and the fact his son is coming to the Club).

A lot of Jurrah's goals this year have been kicked in junk time.

We seem to be assuming Jurrah's been dropped for performance reasons?

Maybe his frame of mind following the past few days could have something to do with it. Personally, I think it's about time he had a run in the magoo's in the hope he finds some form.

This is the game to win. Beware of the wounded beast.

We WILL be very tough and competitive this week even though the task of winning MAY be beyond us. I just hope that people won't get on Todd's back even if we have a substantial loss.Conversely, if we did pull off an unexpected win we shouldn't hail Viney as the coach supreme. It takes more than one game to evaluate the skills of a new coach.

I hope Brad Green is listening to Todd and not the foot steps of younger challengers to his spot

IMO Jurrah's been badly handled this year.

RudeBoy has hinted a few times that he needs to be "let off the leash". It's like all the X-factor has been drained out of him. And if he's been carrying a lower leg injury for several weeks, he could have had a spell long before now.

Yes i am Suprised Jurrah is not been given the "Play Naturally" How you want to.

Is he an emergency....(still a chance?)

But i am behind Todd...he is closer to the mess than i.

Silvia has been lazy IMO.

It will be interesting where Todd plays Tapscott, Davey, Green, Bate, Dunn, Strauss & Martin/Gawn (when not rucking).

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
