Now BA don't get upset but ANZAC is an acronym and should be in upper case. I know Laser does not get capitalised but I think ANZAC deserves capitals. End rant here. love the jumper.

Fair call.

Bugg had 29 touches and 9 tackles today.  Zero chance of being dropped. Same goes for Tyson and Lumumba.  You guys are crazy.

Whoever mentions Lumumba as an out should be banned from here. This run and carry game style is suiting H and now starting to get back to his best football he played at the pies. He is not the on

IN: Garlett, Vince

OUT: M. Jones (stiff, but the above two have to come in), Oliver (rested)

FB: Wagner, Dunn, Jetta

HB: Lumumba, T. McDonald, Salem

C: Bugg, N. Jones, Tyson

HF: Harmes, Hogan, Kent

FF: Watts, Pedersen, Garlett

FOLL: Gawn, Vince, Viney

INT: Brayshaw, Frost, Hunt, Kennedy

EMERG: M. Jones, Petracca, Vandenberg

Matt Jones very stiff, but I don't know who else to leave out?  Roosy seems to like giving new kids a couple of games, so don't think it will be Hunt, be who knows?  I'd have Matt Jones as the 23rd man given how unlucky he is.  Petracca can have another run at VFL level.

Garlett and Bernie are best 22 in fact best dozen so they both have to come in no ifs or buts unless Garlett requires another week.  Maric will go it alone against Big Max so do we need both Pedersen and Frost, which I believe will be one of the unlucky omissions.

I think Oliver would have been given a rest if it was a 6 day turnaround but I think he may get another game under his belt and a rest the following week against the Saints.

Brayshaw, Matt Jones and Hunt will be one of the other unlucky omissions.

Petracca may be a chance but trying to find a likely out is something that after many long years is finally difficult

We have two massive advantages this week.  

  1. Ruck - Gawn against a very underdone Maric with pinch hitting from Vickery should give us an enormous advantage at the clearances.
  2. Small Forwards: Simply Richmond have no match-ups for Garlett, Kennedy, Kent. They could run wild.

We should be able to exploit these clear advantages. 

I think CP5 is a chance to play and obviously Vince and Garlett are certainties.  I think Frost or Paterson will make way for Garlett.  Vince will replace Hunt and if CP5 is given a run it will be while resting Oliver.

That's about the dumbest thing I've ever read. Stephen Powell kicked 32 goals in 2000, Bugg hasn't even scored this year. He just doesn't hurt teams with his possessions, no matter how many of them he has.

bugg is tough and an accumulator similar to powell !!!!!!! but thanks for the insult arswhole.

If we have to choose between Pederson and Frost, I'd rather Pedo for the here and now but can understand wanting to get Frost up and going (he's showing some positive signs). It's a tough call.

When in doubt ... last in, first out is the rule of thumb that the match committee might use as a default method. 

So, the players who came in as replacements for our game against Collingwood could be the ones under consideration to make way for Vince/Garlett/Petracca (if indeed all 3 do come in) 

Brayshaw, Pedersen & Hunt came in for the pies game but I've a feeling that 1 or 2 others might miss because of injury. 

Hard to see them not picking Brayshaw but Hunt & Pedersen might be the unlucky ones to miss out. Regardless, it's a nice position to be in.

I think giving Frost an extended run is more important, he played his best game on the weekend and still has a lot of room for improvement. He is still raw,  he is still a young,  developing tall,  and was drafted to and can be a very important cog in the machine if we're looking for someone who could potential be a swingman or cover for Gawn in a worst case scenario. His marking needs some work,  but so did Gawns at one point.  His follow up efforts are great,  his pace is great and there are signs there. 

Pedersen s what he is (which imo is good enough) time to backup judgement which saw us draft Frost in the first place and back him

Ha! ... it's just an "old school" (pardon the pun) way of dealing with the selecting of a team ... the player or players who come in as replacements are under no illusion that they're going to make way once the established top player or other top players return.  That can be explained to them in advance too - but not always. 

Unless, of course those replacement players absolutely dominate or in the case of Brayshaw, he was returning to the team rather than being brought in as a replacement.

Another way of selecting the team would be to look long term ... Pedersen & Matt Jones may not be seen as the future so both could make way

Or, a youngster or 2 could be "rested" (so to speak) for a number of reasons ... sometimes dropping a young player when they don't really deserve to be dropped is a way of improving that player - you know, see what he's made of and all that, toughen them up etc etc.  Even Bradman got dropped (after his first game)

What starts out as a perceived negative can be turned into a huge positive ... again, it's a nice position to be in EH.  The eventual selected team won't be in a comfort zone - and that's a good thing.

In's - Vince & Garlett

Out's - I agree give Oliver a weeks rest and if Gus comes up, it's either Matt Jones or Hunt both very unlucky. I would not drop Bugg, Lumumba or Frost.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
