I loved our spine against the Hawks - TMac, Frost, N Jones, Dawes, Hogan. If that group can find some consistency then our developing midfield has a strong foundation to work from. I think Pedo is a vital swingman and we need his utility, but can we fit him onto the bench with that spine in place, Gawn in Ruck, and a very tall Watts playing as a tall forward? Not too sure.

Harmes appears to be the one out of touch. Kent has lost his attack on the ball and tackling pressure.  These two out,  but unsure who to bring in. Probably need Dunn for Cloke.

I don't think we can play Hogan, Dawes, Watts and Pedersen in the same side.

IMO, Pedersen and Dawes are fighting for the same spot and on what I saw yesterday, I'm not sold on Dawes. The more so given Pedersen will do the second ruck duties which is a far better option to Watts.

    OMac will not get dropped. Those here that say that Frost is a better defensive option are seriously deluded. I f we are going to drop a key defender, it will be Frost.

    For me, I would keep that same team if possible.

    Your kidding ? I thought Frost did some nice things AND he is quicker than O Mac

    Unchanged except maybe Kennedy in.

    I felt we had a good side in against the Hawks and the result proved that.

    I hope Grimes plays well. Id bring him in for Harmes to play that Wing/half forward. What you will get from Grimes is pressure acts and tackling and he will give you genuine 100% effort.

    Harmes is starting to really tire out now and Grimes is the perfect replacement.

    Ins: Lumumba, Kennedy, Pedersen, Viney (hoping for a quick recovery)

    Outs: Harmes, O.McDonald, Dawes, Gartlett

     

    ??? Garlett out - you are kidding 

    Dawes played ok for his 1st game back and the conditions were against the big guys

    no changes ,hope vince gets off,they played well went to tall for a wet day.Cant blame the big blokes not being able to hang on to marks

    3 QTRS we were in it, so I can't see the need for changes. Dawes,Trengove and Vander will be better for the run. If we can win 6 more matches it would be good.

    I start a new job on QB, would it look bad if I took a sicky to watch the game? Kent out Kennedy in.

    Depends who the boss barracks for.

    But let them know early that you will be more productive if allowed to go, and if/ when we win you will be ultra productive with a positive attitude that will inspire the company. Of course should we lose you will be ultra productive as you focus on tasks and concentrate on displaying the resilience that all employees need to perform at their maximum.

    It sounds like I'd be doing my new workplace a disservice if I were to work on QB.

     Nine day break.  We are a better team and it will be disappointing if we do not smash them.

    Please don't make statements like that. We will be a better team on the day if we win. It's a week to week call.

    I presume your new employment is in a morally corrupt industry Ethan.

    I wouldn't mind these changes. It's Harmes or Kent out for Kennedy IMO. At least Spencer could take second ruck, provide a tall target to kick to and is quicker and more agile than Dawes.

    I didn't particularly rate Dawes' game yesterday but they're not going to drop Dawes after one game.

    Have we dropped anyone this season after one game? I'm not sure. We gave Michie, ANB and Newton at least two games each.

    You're probably right, TU, but that's what I'd do.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
