Mitch White officially in tomorrow!

http://m.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-06-29/white-to-play-first-game-of-season

Wouldn't be surprised if White and Wagner come in. Wagner to play in place of Salem, Hunt to push forward in place of Garlett to add some x-factor and defensive pressure to the mix, and White to fill Hunt's usual role. 

That's the only rationale that comes to mind if White is selected ahead of Wagner (barring any other outs).

    These reflect my thoughts too.

    I'd say they're also making sure they have another back that can play on a 2nd/3rd option forward. He compete's really well in the air and I think is insurance knowing Tmac could spend the majority of the game in the forward line like last week.

    Wow! Just as Saty predicted! ?

    Personally I thought White's game last week was outstanding and it excited me more than any of the other MFC players bar Weeds first 45 minutes. His foot skills were sublime

    Not not a huge fan of his but the footy department see him every day at training and are doing a pretty reasonable job so happy to back them in

    Another who finds new ways to injure himself, hasn't had a clean run at it for last 18 months,  has had a solid three or four weeks, rated by FD

    He's a beautiful kick so in that sense he's a good replacement for Salem

    Hadn't seen the posts. It makes sense though - can't see them picking White ahead of Wagner so I assume both are in.

    Relax- we never recruit Roman Catholics.

    Unless standards have slipped.

    As others have said a raking left foot kick, is tough and has served a good apprenticeship in the VFL.

    Has been in the bests 5 times this season which is more than anyone else at Casey so has obviously been consistent and carrying out coaches instructions.

    Also has a winning AFL record (2W/1L)

    Hopefully White will prove to be a good choice and will acquit himself well

    White was supposed to have the booming left foot wasn't he? Am I thinking the same guy?

    Geez their either really really making JKH, Kent, Kennedy knock the door down or Goody has no interest in any of them. Strange as JKH has been in his best ever form, just got an extension and can't get a look

    There is of course the (admittedly really remote), possibility that the FD might know what they are doing and have chosen the replacements they think will do the best job against the Swans.

    Just sayin'

    Interesting demons squad. It's so far from the predicted best 22 many of us had at the start of the season, yet I'm not doubting this group coming out swinging at Sydney.

    Times have changed at our club. Belief is a powerful thing!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
