GAME DAY

It's a funny time of the day to start the game (3:15pm) but I suppose the game now belongs to the Seven Network and not the people.

Question marks on whether the two named emergencies who missed the Casey game, Sam Blease and Cale Morton will replace someone i.e do we have a mystery injury of the week?

On the other hand, will Sheedy sneak his best player this year, Chad Cornes, back into the line up after telling all and sundry that the old codger needs a rest?

 

Just heading off. Lunch with mates first. This a very important game for us. Melbourne has shown some recent turnaround in form, especially against Essendon and the filth. After a break to freshen up and reset we must continue this momentum. Anything less than a convincing win against these losers is not acceptable and would set us back.

Interesting theory re Blease & Morton. Who are they capable of replacing, and are there rumours about any of them? Can't see it being a tall or an inside mid, so are there two possible outside mid/flankers under a cloud?

Its windy with the threat of showers and our backline already looks too tall. I expect it will be a tall for one of them unless there is a late injury to be covered.

Today I wanna see some real aggression, put Sheedy back in his box.

Not that it's any great shakes, but I'm tipping Cornes will play. Sheedy's desire to beat us will overwhelm development of a youngster on this occasion.

I like the start can close shop and get home to see most of the game.

Weather miserable here so the fire the footy and a .....

victory was where I was heading

GO DEES
 

People have been expecting a slog. At 12.15 the weather looks sensational - NO EXCUSES.

A day to showcase some skill.

Yeah Im thinking the same RR...Would be typical of Sheedy to start playing funny buggers with us any way he can.......

Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney at the MCG, 3.15pm

LATE CHANGES

Melbourne: Rohan Bail replaced in selected side by Sam Blease

Greater Western Sydney: Nil

FINAL INTERCHANGES

Melbourne: Matthew Bate, Jordan McKenzie, Lynden Dunn

Substitute: Sam Blease

Greater Western Sydney: Tomas Bugg, Jonathan Giles,

Devon Smith Substitute: Luke Power

So Sam got Bailed out !

Morton gets to have another week off.

How is this supposed to improve him ?

Surely a game with Casey to try & improve his deficiencies would have been more beneficial.

the only way to improve Mortons deficiences would be a long term residence at Moloneys Boxing camp, though if that was too tough for him then perhaps season as 'enforcer' at the Lingerie Football league

Anyone else listen to triple m with the Silvani interview. Stevo pressed pretty hard regarding fatty Phil. Silvani got pretty worked up. Unfortunately the others like Carey seemed uninterested. Would have love someone to ask whether he would have been recruited if his son wasn't Tom!

Curious observation . Though our banner obviously manned by cheer squad it almost looks like the giants have to pay ppl lol.

I'm in the same boat mate. So frustrating.

 

Pathetic is a word that springs to mind. Insipid is another.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
