Will Jones return and if so who will he replace? It'd be a shame to see Trengove only make the one appearance and then be omitted.

JKH had little impact today but otherwise it was a reasonable spread of effort.

    I think our best 22 would see Jones and vince come back in and unfortunately Kennedy Harris and trenners go out. 

    So I'd say 

    Jones in trengove out next week 

    I'd love trenners to stay but taking the emotion out of it I think jkh offers some X factor that trengove just doesn't

    If Jones is ready, then it will be Jones for JKH.

    If he isn't then I'd go with an unchanged lineup.  Been a while since we've been able to do that, and it will give us some continuity going into a danger game.

    Then we get Jones and Vince back the following week.

    I don't think JKH offers much X factor at all compared to our other small to mid-sized players.

    He got a bit of the ball last week but went missing today.

    X factor is great but you have get your hands on the pill first.

    In; Jones

    Out: JKH

    Will they rest Gawn in light of his "soreness" ?

    He is so important to our finals chances and "if" North go ruckless as they did today it may be a good strategy.

    Against that he needs the game time.

    On Jones .. I see no reason to rush him back but will understand one way or the other

    Ruckless? Daw was good in the ruck today. He would dominate Watts/McDonald

    And getting more game time onto Dom, Watts, Hogan and Viney is critical as we approach September

    Everything will depend on whether Jones comes back

    You get the sense it's either JKH or Trengove who would be lowest on the totem pole to lose their spot; sentimentality I would much prefer to see Trenners stay in, but I thought both were serviceable today 

    Would love to see 'no change' if Jones is not right to reward what was a fantastic team effort today

    Harmes attack on the footy today was exemplary. Maybe a few untidy disposals but he always has a dip!

    possibly give the skipper a run in the 2s next week been out a long time with the quad - run off some rust. would have been good to do it with a couple of our seniors coming back last few weeks but didnt have the luxury due to running out with our 3rds otherwise...

    no change - same endeavour early and we absolutely [censored] Nth to eradicate the last decade of failures against them. [censored] hate that pissant club

    No change unless Jones is ready. 

    If he is, out JHK in Jones. 

     

    (I'm assuming Gawny is fine)

    Trengove comes out if Jones comes in. Everyone knows that, right?

    Im not so sure.  Who from the midfield drops back to HBF to cover Trengove?

     

    I think JKH goes out for Jones. Trengove out for Vince the next week.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • 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 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.
