1) Jurrah has done what he needed to do last week

2) Jamar is okay

3) Sylvia is not back yet. If he is, Bartram out, Tapscott to BP, Sylvia to HFF

C: Trengove Jones Scully

HF: Tapscott Watts Davey

FF: Howe Dunn Jurrah

Foll: Jamar Moloney McKenzie

Int'change: Petterd Gysberts Martin

    Trengove to play back.

    Morton to play on ball.

    Jamar to come in for Gawn if right.

    Tappy is apparently OK (no concussion), so he is in.

    No way will Green be sub. If he remains captain, he gets to start.

    Strauss and Bate out.

    How about Blease and Fitzy in??

    Lets see if Jamar is OK< then he would come in for Gawn

    Tall backline... LeCras will cut us to pieces!

    Bartram is my choice for LeCras

    Warnock on the resting ruck

    As for Green, I think he's escaped a game at VFL due to his captain role, but I still think we need to try and take a stand while also trying to find a way to get him more influential.

    Sorry for the already existing thread. Lazy on my behalf. Please merge.

    :)

    He will cut us to pieces anyway

    Don't know if Martin has the physicality to compete with CoxNat. Warnock would be better suited to the job while it frees Martin up to do some damage around the ground. I also think we should send Warnock to the 50 on kick ins as an extra big to aim at. He could muscle up on their bigs to allow Martin/Jamar to contest the mark.

    We certainly need to be more attacking in our match ups. In almost every match-up there is an advantage for every disadvantage but I don't think we utilise them.

    I'd like to see Robbie Campbell get a run. Stef will need some real support again Cox and Natinui, and Campbell certainly has more experience and bulk than Big Max. He may also give us more of that leadership that we so badly lack.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Jetta get a run. From reports his pressure and intensity was pretty good at Casey. This has been dearly lacking in our past few weeks.

    I agree, Jetta is very under rated by most and I think that is because he is not a forward pocket he is a midfielder although I would like to see him down back trialed as a small defender. Anyway my team for this week

    Bartram Martin Frawley

    MacDonald Rivers Garland

    Scully Moloney Trengove

    Sylvia Watts Howe

    Davey Gawn Jurrah

    Jamar McKenzie Gysberts

    Jones Tapscott Jetta

    Green

    Out Bate, Petterd, Strauss, Dunn

    In, Jetta, Sylvia, Jamar, Jurrah

    What if Jamar does not make it?

    Also not sure that having Jamar, Gawn and Martin gives us good balance.

    2 of the three for me

    Also Moloney must be close to being given a rest?

    Edited aboveNot sure why I wrote Jones

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
