Sounds good

 

Looking forward to the summation by those who were there, and their thoughts on who may have earned a promotion.

You said worst over the last four weeks. He may well have been our worst yesterday but I don't want us dropping match-winners after one bad game.

He was bad yesterday but he has enough credits in the bank to hold his spot.

Easily the worst (still in the side) in terms of averages/output in the last 4 weeks Titan. If he performed reasonably   yesterday i would agree with you. 4 in a row with a horror 4th game in there... Ben Ken time!!! :P

I know they are getting done today but West Coast plays Darling and Kennedy up front, both genuine tall forwards. I want to see Hulett or Weideman both given a chance to be that second genuine forward over the course of the year in the ones.

No.

Harmes has looked spent the last couple of weeks. 

Ben Ken for Harmes is a much smarter decision.

I honestly wouldn't make too many changes from the side that played yesterday... Agree that Jeffy, Kent, Harmes and Oscar have not been great but with Dunn going down today I think we make 1 change only... BenKen for Kent unless injuries force other changes...

OMac needs to keep playing and is less of a liability than Olaf imho

Both Harmes and Kent were abysmal last week.

Kent improved slightly yesterday, Harmes did not. 

Harmes goes first.

If it's wet next week then I'd be happy to keep Kent and rest Harmes for BenKen

Why if wet?

Because I think Harmes loses his effectiveness with a slippery pill... Whereas Kent tackles more effectively with precipitation in the vicinity ?

Fair enough.

IMO, Harmes' disposal has been atrocious whether wet or dry. It was no better vs Port last week in the sun than vs Hawthorn. He turns the ball over almost every time he touches it, at the moment.

I think that we can all agree that on today's form and given our opponent next week, we will be seeing BenKen ready to make a statement on QBD... Who misses is anyone's guess

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
