'He was taken off the ground at three quarter time due to some stuff at AFL level that we just needed him to be ready for but we were really happy with Grimesy.'

 

I reckon he was on standby for Jetta, who looked out of sorts on Monday. Injured? Sick? 

 

In: Grimes, Michie, Harmes.

Out: None

 

We could potentially see an unchanged team on Sunday, it depends on how everyone pulls up after the 6 day break.

Surprised Hunt is not mentioned as a possible candidate for omission . Whilst he is intermittently spectacular , he surprises on  a weekly basis with his low disposal numbers .  I would love to see Grimes get an opportunity .

Watch the game and have a look at his impact. I wouldn't have thought it needed saying that its not about disposal numbers. Josh Gibson regularly gets low disposal numbers. Do you think the Hawks would omit him for it? Or Cyril....

Last time we had a 6 day break Roos say they erred by not changing the team, can't see him not changing it....

True, but the weekend before the players had a nine day break which would pretty similar to having a week's rest so the players shouldn't be nearly as tired this time around.

Agreed.  Also, I thought Hunt was very good in damp conditions vs Hawks.  He thru himself at everything and kept the ball on the ground.  That doesn't count in his stats as he attacked the ball not (tackled) a player.  Think he knows how to play on a damp surface.  Keep him in.

Talking of the Hawks game, hope our guys remember to not bounce the ball - it doesn't bounce on damp surface!  The poor bounce Hogan got in the goal square while comical would have been tragic had Kent (I think) not come along and kicked it through.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    ï»żA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
