I keep reading in this thread about the concern of a "long trip to WA". I hope it's only supporters who even think that it's a concern. West Coast and Freo cope with this "long trip" every two weeks or so. If they can do it, we can do it. And we only have to do it a couple of times per season. If our team's mindset is somehow compromised by this concern then we're not yet ready to be a power club. 

Have you seen West Coast's record away from home?

    Anyone know if any other teams have three straight 6 day breaks with  a big interstate trip in the middle?

    We have been shafted by the AFL schedulers, I am surprised PJ let them get away with it.

    You're the first I've seen complain seriously about it. Part of the reason it happens is that we had a QB game. Always gonna have short breaks after that. Plus the Anzac one.

    I feel like it's more of a Scott brothers thing to complain about everything you don't get.

    Imagine if the games didn't go Monday > Sunday > Saturday > Friday... and went Monday > Saturday > Saturday > Friday. Would you be anymore pleased? 5 day break followed by 7 and 6... You ca write off the 5 day break.

    I reckon 3 6ers is a great get in point of fact. It's doable.

    Just as we had all the good news...

    Still. We have options. Gawn coming back and Hogan soon means structurally we might not have such dire need for the production Jones brings.

    I'm gonna get more up and about about Trengove coming in now. Fair warning. lol

    Chunk out for 4-6 is massive.

    Hope he heals quickly and is back soon.

    So first we had Jones will be ok.

    Then out for 2 weeks followed by 3-4 weeks and now we have the dreaded 4-6.

    Anybody predicting the season ??

  • Quote

    Jones hasn't missed since Round 14, 2012. Let that sink in for a second.

    Its going to be weird seeing the team run out without him over the next month. On the bright side, its a brilliant test for our younger players, especially Viney to take on the added load in the midfield.

    Also, this is where the absence of Brayshaw really hurts. I'd love to see him play a full game in the midfield and not as a defensive half forward.

    It'll be the Darwin game that kills us and we brought that on ourselves.

    Good to see Port lining up the suckers to sell their home game for the China fling next year.

    See that the AFL revisionists are now calling it a success save for the bad game by the Suns.

    We're better placed to cover the loss of Jones than ever before. Max back is a good start.

    So Jones out - Gawn in

    JKH needs an extended run in the VFL. If no one else is omitted due to injury, as others have suggested, Jones out and Gawn in.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
