Salem injured??

Concussion.
 

You can't drop Watts. Who's going to do all the pointing on the ground?

Moloney will be our guest runner.

Not only the most elite finger pointer in the game today,but the most elite finger pointer in VFL/AFL history.

Watts needs to get some touch and should go.

JKH also was not up to it today.

Mc Kenzie was poor.

But they were not alone today.

OUT- watts, mckenzie, jkh, pederson

IN- dawes, jetta, toumpas, riley

That jokes done to death.

OUT- watts, mckenzie, jkh, [Pedersen]

IN- dawes, jetta, toumpas, riley

I'd keep Pedersen in. I like the addition of Riley. With Kent out he would add some grunt and aggression.


Salem might miss, and Dawes will need to pass a fitness test on that calf. Riley and Jetta in for me. McKenzie out with one of the other handful of players who were not up to it today.

Out: McKenzie, Watts

In: Dawes, Jetta

What he said.

Watts has had a few bad games running now. I say keep Pedersen in for him and bring Dawes back. If Salem is injured as it appears then Jetta comes in for him (assuming he's ok). Given Roos' reluctance to make changes that may be all. McKenzie might get lucky and be given a run-with role on one of Sydney's mids to free up Vince. If not then he might go out for Toumpas, who again appears to have racked up touches at Casey.

Admittedly I spent the first half in the blazer bar watching the fight but I would like to see Watt's tackle count today before dropping him. I thought I saw him stick a couple. From reading all the training reports that is the area of his game they are really working on. If he is improving on that we have to keep him in. We know he uses it well when is and running.

Let's at least establish one thing. Anyone who proposes that we drop Pederson after his gallant performance today, needs to acknowledge they either didn't watch the game or know absolutely nothing the game.

why Newton? He was far from our worst today.

A midfielder who gets 12 touches and places limited defensive pressure. Looks good when he gets it but doesn't find the pill enough.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
