Yeah. Another selection tick from the committee. Rewarding players who perform. They'd better give ANB his go though.

I'm wondering if someone can answer this as I haven't been au fait with the rookie rules for some years. We already upgraded Wagner, doesn't that mean someone has to be added to long term injury list for Michie to get a spot? Is King that?

    Get to upgrade one at start of season and we also get to upgrade one to replace Melksham I believe

     

    ed. Good luck to Viv

    That's a fantastic effort - hopefully Jetta mrk 2.

    Very well deserved. ANB and Viv have been consistently good at Casey and both deserve a shot.

    Oliver surely comes back in as well.

    Agree wholeheartedly!  Very happy for Viv, and really hope he takes this second chance (third chance if you count Freo as his first...) with both hands and, like Nev, pay back the Footy Dept's faith in him by becoming an important part of the team.

    The way I read it Dappa is that we had one spot to upgrade, which was Wagner, then we've got two guys out for the year in King and Melksham, who can also be replaced?
    Very confusing when they frequently change rules on the fly.

    So this would suggest he's getting a game this weekend? Maybe emergency?

    you don't get upgraded to be emergency. he's in count on it

    I hope ANB gets a game, he has been consistently in the best and keeps getting passed by others...

    He'd have every right to be disappointed if he missed out again.

    We lack speed and outside run. Not too sure how Viv will help our one paced attack???

    May come in for Pedersen?

    By delivering pin-point bullet passes to his team-mates, maybe...?

    Oh dear. I hope he doesn't cop a ban. Anything but that.

    I kind of understand the "btdt" attitude of those above, but he's been consistently in the Casey best all year, and apparently killed it this week playing on a HBF. Read the Plapp report, it was as glowing they come. And it just so happens, we have a HBF vacancy this weekend.

    The guy has well and truly earned another shot. How about getting on board and showing some support?

    He'll play half back this week then. Good luck to him and I hope he plays well for us. We need some tight defenders who know when to run off and attack. Maybe he can become a key for us?

    Michie has been in and out of the seniors many times in the past,he probably is a good reserves player.Surely we need a defender,perhaps White would be the go.

    But the dream team?

    Balrick takes Darlings tunic?

    Oh.  Been there, done that.

    Grats Viv.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
