    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

No Bail, Trengove, Clark, Gawn (all inj) or Davis, Barry, Tapscott, Tynan, Taggert.

Or Clisby (inj) or Stark from the rookie list

Seems interesting that Tapscott, Tynan and Taggert all aren't in the side. I think Tappy has been carrying a niggling injury but haven't heard anything about the other 2. Maybe the plan was to save a couple for the game next week.

I see the 2 games this week and the game against Port as warm ups and trials prior to the last two NAB cup games which are much more about actually readying the best 25 for round 1. So this week I'd play the kids only for 1 match each as well as the veteran/important players.

HB: Dunn McDonald Watts

C: Viney Jones Nicholson

At half time I'd make the following changes:

Garland (Macdonald), Gillies (Frawley), Toumpas (Viney), Byrnes (Howe), Hogan (Dawes), Rodan (Jones), Grimes (McKenzie), Jetta (Kent), Sellar (Jamar), Couch (Sylvia)

Disappointed that neither Taggert or Tynan make it into the team.

Both were draftees form the 2011 draft.

Both in their second year and cannot get a run in a practise match, disappointing.

Not surprised re Tapscott I think he is going to struggle to get a game this year unless we have injuries.

You are assuming they are fit enough to play? I would say this would be more to do with soreness or injury.

There is not un limited number of players who get a run on Friday night 34 in total I believe.

Some one has to miss out and those two have missed.

No mention of injury, soreness. load management etc.

Is it impossible to believe they were not viewed as being in the top 34 players for Friday night?

I believe we are putting our best available 34 on the ground first up.

After the past 12 months we need runs on the board.

We need to impress sponsors and supporters.

The other 6 fit players may get a run next week, if needed.

It was interesting that the ad in todays Sun for the game(s) had a photo of one player from each team , two established stars

from North and Tigers, and Jack Viney for us. Is it too early in his career for him to be a 'face', a marketable commodity?

Cant wait till Friday!

I see your point. I thought we were looking to learn from the pressure put on Watts. That said one promo is fine, but I don't want to see Viney as the face of the club.

OD, we never hear anything specific re load management, so why would that be the case here?

Almost the same re injuries. We found out yesterday Rohan Bail had been in the rehab group with concussion for 3 weeks ...

You're jumping to conclusions.

These games will mean little if we lose them both but a great deal if we win. :ph34r:

Beg to differ... with a $500k fine hanging over the MFC, suddenly the NAB cup takes on a whole new level of importance.

Pre-season games don't count ... but they do matter. As a team they will learn a lot about themselves.

Our best chance is the 1st game against North. What will be interesting is how we run the game out against Richmond. Looking forward to seeing the new recruits. Especially Hogan, Dawes, Viney and Toumpas.

Disappointing not to see Tapscott in the squad but he might be carrying a slight leg injury. I reckon Luke will prove a few people wrong this year. He just needs a good go at it. Still just 21 years old.

Is there any cash for winning the NAB cup?

I believe there is still a monetary prize (but don't know how much). In 2010, the winner got $180k and the runner up $120k.

I like the concept of having Fitzpatrick in both teams as he deserves a run. If Dawes has been recruited as FB then I would play him there instead of Pederson. Similarly I would play Hogan as CHB instead of Pederson in the other match as I believe that is the role that we are grooming him for rather than FB. Otherwise I don't have a problem with your selections. I suspect the half back line that you named for both matches is our best and hopefully will excell for the whole season.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
