westrup to debut

Really a leaps and bounds project.

Mostly backwards.

Do you want to elaborate? Agree JKH couldn't make an impact, but it wasn't from the lack of trying

Unfortunately, yes it was.

He looked like he didn't care a lot on the weekend. Disinterestedness was plastered across his face unless he was able to get out in space and present. There's more to AFL than that, especially when you're playing against the best of the best.

I'm not advocating dropping him as I think (hope?) it was an aberration and that, usually, he makes us a better side.

Grimes as a Co - Captain will come straight back in if fit to play so there will be one change at least.

Our turnovers just went up by 25%

I really think Grimes needs to earn his spot back, before he was injured he was playing terrible footy.

I really would love to see Watts get dropped, so sick of his lack of desire for the ball, it's getting worse. But sadly this will not happen.

And people are saying M.Jones is tired, didn't he just get back into the team? So he should have a cup of warm milk and a lay down for a weekend? WTF?

Leave the team as is, have JKH as the sub.

Out: top deck of all the stands at the G

In: plenty of car park spaces

Hogan to make return for Scorps this weekend. More on afl.com.au soon according to Ben Guthrie

In further positive news for the Demons, young midfielder Jimmy Toumpas is also expected to return for the Scorpions this weekend.

Hoges and Toump both back

Hope they play well and come into the MFC team for the final 2 games

I reckon JKH might possibly be showing the effects of long hard season on a kid playing against men for the first time. Nothing more!!

I think he got the joke and was making one

I know, and I then did the same, and then allowed someone to make a joke on my joke thinking it was a non-joke.

Apparantly according to the radio, BOTH Melbourne and GWS are desperate to lose this game, to get Petracca. They're obviously speculating but it's interesting that people still perceive us this way.

Whose "the radio"?

The Saints have last spot all but sewn up. It's very difficult to see them winning any of their three remaining games.

Both sides will be out to win. People who say anything different are simply pot stirring.

The worst thing about the whole tanking situation is that from now on any time a team might conceivably benefit from a loss, any loss they actually DO have will be looked at suspiciously.

    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
