I know Spencer and Gawn worked well for one game but I don't get why Roos is always obsessed with being loaded with talls.

Also interesting that Jamar was emergency for several weeks on the trot and then Spencer finally gets selected before him..

For me I would not include Jack Grimes, James Harmes, Rohan Bail in the final 22.

I read that Harmes was going to be rested with Brayshaw.

Spencer at full forward... Not sure about that that one. Lack of depth I suppose

As per the VFL report;

Jake had 19 possessions, took 12 marks and had 30 hit outs so he was probably our best player on the day. I was really happy for Jake because over his last four or five weeks hes just been there about but certainly hasnt impacted the game like he did this week. His ability to be able to play a role in the ruck and have some real dominance there and then go forward and kick four goals as well was really pleasing. He played his best game of VFL football in a long time so I couldnt have been happier for him. The challenge for him now is to try and back that up.

Congrats to chunk on 200 games.

Hopefully it's a great game for him and the team.

I reckon they will give Jamar a farewell game against West Sydney.

And good luck to him

I just think he is another player who, like Gawn until this year, has struggled to convert VFL form into AFL footy particularly up forward. That said I think Gawn will spend more time forward then in the ruck, leaving the duties to spencer

Bail and Matt Jones have failed too many times. Why rest Harmes ?? He has hardly played?? Been sub a few times. Why not just use him or Brayshaw as sub.

Tired players ... amazing !! no wonder we are viewed as SOFT.

Because we got nothing else?

Who do you suggest we play?

Id rather these games go in Jay Kennedy Harris instead of Bail for example. Didn't even play last week in the 2s and he still gets named.

Unbelievable

I like it.

It screams Roos call for the players to get angry and play that way too. Big Spencil will knuckle someone/s on the weekend and duly get rubbed out.

I have the feeling this game will be rather spiteful.

About bloody time.

Don't forget that Roos wanted us to play like maniacs last weekend and well look how we played.

Too true OX.

Maybe next week we'll be playing like psychopaths?

I know I'm not allowed to be negative .... but ...FMD ..... we'll get the [censored] kicked out of us..

What a [censored] up we've become.

Jesus, I don't think I can cop much more of this - apparently since my negativity has contributed to us being the basket case we are.

My only concern with this new found Uber Confident Positivism is what happens, IF Against all odds, the Dockers manage to outscore us (not beat, to negative). Will it hurt more?

That couldn't happen now that everyone is so positive but even if they outscored us we learn would learn from it and move on. It will be character building, for ourselves and the players. I think the Melbourne Footy team are the best little players in the best little club in the best little country in the world. I might even pay for my membership in Babcock and Brown shares as I reckon they will come good too!

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
