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

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
