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. 

He's been there for a few weeks? In awesome form as I'm sure you're aware. You hated his early season form that much?

Gawn in for Jones, don't we go in a bit tall?

Not if Kennedy plays. Their talls killed us pre-season. 

On JKH, I don't think he fits into our game style. He's too soft.

I am sorry but I think it is time you checked yourself into Arkham, you gone Loco.

alright you're all hilarious with your memes (good-natured tone)

everyone bagging Frost being dropped, anyone care to say the tall they will drop? Crush O Macs confidence? Peedo is killing it. T Mac undroppable

Yeah. OMac, TMac and Frost on their talls, sure. Frost wasn't playing in pre-season, and OMac wasn't in form. Also we've done well in the forward line without big boys. Scoring heavily actually. I'm pumped to see us run rings around their defenders.

I get your concerns about his hardness. He's no Jones (who is?) But I'm not sure he's "soft" whatever that means. I have a feeling Goody slots him forward as the negating defender as a reward for his good VFL form and Hannan, Vince and others slide up the ground like they did against Dogs.

Interesting stuff though.

Like for like, why wouldn't we go Trengove for Jones?

this is the perfect opportunity, and why they kept him on list.  JKH and Stretch are outside players.

If Watts and Hibberd are fine to play Saturday, who do you omit for Gawn?

Gawn for Jones should be the only change, the formula is working at the moment.

I'm concerned that the Jones article mentions Hibberd is sore and might not get up for the game! Looks like Wagner will get a recall

Several players mentioned , none of them Hibberd

Heard Ox say there might be a smokey this weekend. Source Brett Anderson who i think is a Dees fan .

Could it be Maynard? 

Hes racking up touches for Casey and from all reports he is hard as nails.

You may be on to something, HB.

Maynard looks really good would love to see him at afl level early.

Has that explosive speed to get out of congestion, fairly poised under pressure and could've kicked two goals on weekend but just missed.

But most importantly he is hard at it and will definitely add to our manic pressure game plan.

Out: Jones

In: Gawn

Easy as that I think.

Misson says he expects Watts, Hunt and Jetta to all get up. No mention at all of Hibberd - where has that talk come from?

Bummed about Jones though. That's interfered with my mood more than any injury has this year including Hogan. Not because he's the best player but because he's not supposed to break, feels like it's upset the universe a bit.

Lewis/Salem/ANB/Trac get more midfield time.

T Mac stays back, Pedo fwd/2nd ruck

Frost stiff

if Watts injured Frost stays in

Frost out, you are kidding.  He has been fantastic this year

Yes it does feel like that indeed! How can Melbourne play without Nat Jones, it will be very odd not having him out there. Hopefully the Hibberd stuff is just rumour. He played the last q pretty strongly did he not?? Unless its the dreaded General, general soreness...would certainly throw a spanner in the backline.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
