Based on the assumption that Jetta, Garlett and Kent won't be fit to play until round 1 at the earliest.

OUT: Harmes, Kennedy-Harris, Spencer and Johnstone.

IN: Tyson, Watts, Frost and Trengove.

 

I think you will find the bench goes back to normal length next game.

I say put in the A team.

I did.....minus giving Trengove a run.

I would also like to see Lewis kicking in after behinds majority of the time.
It was suprising post match last week he mentioned he hasn't before.

and Vince on a forward flank..............never again in the backline.

Agreed, wing or half forward only, also our disposal generally down back is a worry, early days but same disposal problems as previous seasons, and Melksham does not help.

I wasn't previously a fan of Melksham but after he blew the cobwebs out with a game and a half I thought he was pretty solid.
Expecting the same from Hibberd although I held him in higher regards than Melksham.

VDB has failed to make an impact in both games apart from some junktime goals in the last qtr. Surely has to come out. Liability with his foot skills

I based it on ranking the team on the first 2 games in my opinion and dropping the bottom 4.
VDB probably scraped in on pressure at the football and "junktime goals" which are pretty valuable when you need goals to win a season.

Your last sentence, my thoughts exactly.

VDB out. Watts in.

Would like to see Dom and Nev get a game too, if fit. Not sure who's spot they take. Maybe JKH, Johnno or Smith

Assuming no injuries from today.

We don't play Meth Coast for a fortnight, which is a further indication that we will take a strong side over there.  Watts, Kent, Jetta and Tyson sound as though they'll be fit and ready to go and you would expect all 4 to get back into the side.  Who makes way?  Players like Harmes, ANB, Johnstone, Bugg etc would all be ones looking over their shoulder, but none of them have necessarily done anything wrong.  Tough decisions will be made, but it's great that we have to make them.

I loved Spencer's game, we should persist with two ruckmen.

9 H/O - 1 Kick - 0 Marks? I know stats aren't everything and I only watched the last third of the game. But what was it that impressed?

    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
