For what it's worth (and I don't think it's worth much), Nathan Brown on SEN just said Melbourne 40+ at $13 is the week's best bet. He said Melbourne will win and win comfortably. Told the guys, "I know you're going to laugh at me, and I know they don't have Hogan and Lewis, but they're going to win, and they're going to win well."

That might be the first time I've heard a bookie talk like that about Melbourne in about 15 years.

EDIT: And just like that it's slashed $3 off the price, down to $10.

My biggest fear is Dangerfield simply roving to Gawn, this needs to be stopped where possible.

Tap it to the side he's not on.

You guys have seriously missed your calling as coaches.

Emg: Tom Bugg, Cameron Pedersen, Jake Spencer
In: Kent, T.Smith, Vince
Out: Hogan (suspended), Lewis (suspended), Brayshaw

Brayshaw looked a bit worse for wear after the forehead cut last week so not surprised he is out.

no, no surprise he's out...

Good selections, let's see how we do.

Surprised for Brayshaw, not sure it's just about him having an off game last week, perhaps they're playing it safe with the head knock or other injury issues.

Brayshaw was omitted and likely playing VFL instead. Hopefully he can find some form then return to the seniors and have an impact. He's really struggled with injury and form this last 12 months after a good debut year.

Brayshaw has never looked the same after that WC game in Darwin where he hurt his neck in the first minute. Sad.

Dean kent is back, you beauty,  Still underrated by most,  hard as nails, fast, raking left foot kick, coming off a breakout 25 goal season.

Brayshaw is still young - no shame in being dropped back to the VFL to get some touch back.

It's development, not punishment.

That Geelong team looks bloody ordinary on paper, it really is the Dangerwood show.

Anything less than a win this week will be unacceptable!

Genuine pressure for spots now even with our injuries and suspensions. Gus was good against St Kilda but a bit down last week and Kent is such a damaging player when on song. Needed to find room for him somewhere

Jetta has been superb.  It's going to be fascinating to see the make up of defence when Hibberd, Frost, Wagner and J.Smith are all available.

....might have to start calling us The Smiths.

Always found him a bit selfish around goals though. Let's hope he's worked on that shortcoming over the summer.

Goody giving everyone a go, to see what they can do and good on him, while we are winning it is really good team management to boost up the experience as well...

Really loving this success, with constant interest week to week.

Certainly beats the 'shuffling the deck chairs' feeling of the past umpteen seasons

Brayshaw deserves to be dropped. Was not mentally switched all game. Turnovers and that dropped chest mark in the square! Don't get me started

hell be back, better than ever

first times we've had actual competition for spots since I can remember.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
