    Dawes CHB? Really? Backline suspect? I think it is the midfield, fwd line suspect which have both been bolstered.

    The last thing I want is someone we recruited as a forward being used in the back line.. (:P)

    Any chance that the blue shirts ARE the probables and that say Joel Macdonald is really in there and the white shirts with Watts and Dunn really are the possibles?

    Any chance that who is in what colour changes every training session, you even have blue with blue sometimes as well, maybe the match simulation will show something, but even that is usually evened up

    I'd guess it's probably based on a competitive points system, like other drills.

    The best performers in other drills win the coveted spots on the A team.

    I remember something about a depth chart being used (at least certainly when they were in Darwin). Be interesting to know if this was being continued as a method of motivation during training.

    There'd also be a chance that in certain drills you'd put your A backline against your A forward line and A midfield, to give them a tougher workout. Chip Frawley should practice against the best we can muster, know what I mean?

    Makes sense, but wouldn't you also want your A backline delivering to your A midfield?

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      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.
