Put Watts up Forward and give him a Leadership role

Players to shave off their Beards

magners a rookie so someone would need to be on injury list. Max Gawn monstered it at VFL level. There is some hope.

Fitzpatrick injured, so not eligible, AND has no form. Magner ineligible due to being a rookie. If you suggest changes, make them informed.

Oh, and Neil Mitchell is a shock jock with a very thin veneer of respectability....

Gawn was impressive in the VFL goals video just uploaded by the club. Can take a good grab and has put on some bulk, still just a kid too. I recon we may have gotten at least one recruiting choice right in him.

In the short term worth trying Gawn, Jamar is in strife, Spencer should be given a run. While we are at it, give Dom Barry and Rory Taggart a spin,

ITS - Time??????

ts time when the players are fit to play, then its time to select them. not by any other reason of knee jerks.

Tommy Mac came back last week and underdone.

Clarke is playing Underdone

Trenners came in, to give some needed leadership & is underdone after a serious foot injury

Davey come in for his first game & played well early in the game

Watts was sick & down on form

*******************

Magner sounds ready to resume, if we get an injury

Jetta is ready to fly the Flag

Bail may be right in 2 weeks of match fitness

Evans is a clever small running player who needs a go

& Tapscott isn't far off

& more to come

*************

when we can got most of our experienced players back out onto the park & fit, it'll be time to start Winning!

Wait, is Magner coming in directly for Schwab? Fair enough, Schwabby didn't even get a kick on the weekend. I like Tapscott and a bunch of underdone players coming back in being the answer, too, because that way next week dropping Tapscott and a bunch of underdone players can be the solution again like after round 1! Woo! We'll never be without an answer!

I also definitely think you're onto something, with shunting Watts around again and again, every time his form fails. That way he never has to face being accountable for a position, he can always just be 'played in the wrong role', you know... someone else;s fault.

Shaving beards certainly makes a difference, yep... damn facial hair ruining everything.

Board members could sit next to you and pass you a thermos of kopi luwak, you really wouldn't know it.

There's one thing worse than an armchair critic, it's an armchair critic who's got nothing to offer but thinks they have the answers and insist everyone in charge is clueless. It muddies the waters of the actual issues and solutions.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
