One change. Out picket fence.

One change. Out picket fence.

Putting up a brick fence or tubular steel?

****pauses for bulk laughter at genius comment***

In: Frawley and Jetts

Out: Dawes and Salem

I'm excited about Salem but would like him to go back and work on a full game and keep building his tank.

I don't mind the idea of playing youth but right now I would rather best 22 each week no matter who it is. Toump was ok last week so he holds his spot.

Salem will be our next "Gun" and deserves/demands a game! Toumpas only got in on Jetta's withdrawal. Still has much to learn. Salem is more advanced than Toumpas, therefore Salem stays and Toumpas goes!

Also,

Anyone else wanta play smart ar*@ with the

FENCE out and associated garbage Rhetoric?

Nah, don't want you to take offence.

Could do something with picket nose tho' :P

Still doesn't mean we'll win.

Yep agree with you.

Hartlett out just evens up the fact Dawes is out

Still , good news for our midfield

Posted

Dawes means alot more to our side than hartlett does to theirs.

Posted

Agree! Frawley to play CHF??

Yep, Pedersen or Gawn at FF?

Tell ya what, if ever there was a time for a break out game, Jack Watts, would love to see 25 quality touches, a few tackles and 3-4 goals and prove to be the difference in a massive upset,

Winning this would be enormous for the confidence and culture of the group.

We need to stop expecting that Jack Watts will have his 'break out game'. I simply want Jack to become a role player. He will impact games due to his excellent disposal and decision making, but the new MFC is 21 players, 21 roles.

Watts has the talent to be a matchwinner, while i'm sure his role is to provide a target across half forward and use his great skills kicking it into the 50 and push into the midfield I feel he is also capable of kicking bags of goals and doing that at important times, I really see him settling into this position and growing.

I think its a good opportunity to take it right up to them.
They're coming off a rough game against hawthorn, those games aways knock teams about.
just like geelong struggle after playing hawthorn.
Where as we have had a week off.

Dawes is a big out for us, but hopefully frawley comes back in and pederson, jamar and gawn can rotate in to the fifty.

thats another area we can expose port - in the ruck.
I didn't think jamar would come back so strong, but he is looking in top nic, lacks some fitness but his strength and tap work is great.

working with gawn and peders will stretch port.

our backs can handle their forwards.
the only player in the forward that will need special attention is obviously wingard, I reckon we run jetta on him. Jetts is a great shut down player and he's very physical.
It will be interesting to see if nev does get the job and if wingard can still be affective while getting harassed by jets.

in the centre, monfries out is good for us. cross could run on a key mid, theres polec, grey, cornes? boak.

jones will play a run with role on one.

Was this the game that jones could miss with the birth of his child or was that later in the year?

If so we would be in for a long game.

I agree. But, personally, I'd much prefer to view him as a role player and it's this attitude that I have a problem with. It isn't about that anymore. It's about Jack playing his role and doing everything that is asked of him. The goals and influence on the game will follow.

I don't think we're giving Port's forwardline enough respect or credit here. They are very dangerous. Wingard is unstoppable and Schultz is about the best full forward in the game right now. If we can keep them below 15 goals, that'd be a great effort.

Plus the likes of Monries, Gray & Westoff floating throught there. They have some goalkicking mids as well

If they get running they can certainly get the scoreboard spinning

    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

    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.
