That would be awesome, I said a couple of weeks ago he would be the next Demon to debut (yeah I know not really going out on a limb)

Dont see how hed fit into the team this week however

Casey have the bye, and seeing Gus is there it looks like most, if not all, players went up, which wouldn't be a surprise after the NT government's comments about our lack of involvement a while back.

Hullett's definitely there. From MFC twitter:

COMMUNITY: and with the students at Yipirinya School. ??

Last year they took a couple of extras to Alice for community work.

Casey have a bye this week so it'd make sense that a couple of Melbourne listed players will be in Alice for the experience.

Would be fairly surprised if Hullett was playing this w/e.

Must be an echo in here....

;)

 

Just the two changes this week in:Jetta, Tyson 

out: mitchie (omitted) Oliver (corked quad)

Edited by Woodyy


Dawes listed as an emergency... 

I wonder if there will be a late change as I can't see us risking Watts in the ruck again...

Agree and suspect it will be hunt as he is younger.  They will have learnt a lesson from the saints game and will bring fresh players in. Straight swap for jetta.

I think they will look to bring in some older hardened players. Perfect time to utilise our depth and give players a rest. So Grimes a chance, maybe dawes  and perhaps even trenners. For this reason i think Newtown is safe.

Any players with any niggles should not be picked  and for this reason i think they'll  rest oliver, viney and maybe even gawn.

I do wonder if they pick a squad with this week and next in mind. So emergencies will give a pointer to tge hawks game

All that said roos doesnt like making too many changes 

Unbeleivably  they didn't learn their lesson. Couldn't believe Roos coming out and admitting they had stuffed up selection. Again

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
