I'm really quite surprised that so many on here are missing the cues from Goodwin.   His agenda and that of his coaching panel is to win a premiership for the MFC.  There are non-negotiables in how yo

Melbourne team: round 21

  • B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta
  • HB: Bernie Vince, Cam Pedersen, Jayden Hunt
  • C: Nathan Jones, Clayton Oliver, Jordan Lewis
  • HF: Christian Petracca, Tom McDonald, Jake Melksham
  • F: Jeff Garlett, Mitch Hannan, Alex Neal-Bullen
  • Foll: Max Gawn, Dom Tyson, Jack Viney
  • I/C (from): Jack Watts, Angus Brayshaw, Billy Stretch, Sam Weideman, Josh Wagner, James Harmes, Corey Maynard
  • In: Brayshaw, Stretch, Hannan, Weideman, Wagner
  • Out: Salem, Frost

Not surprised to see Salem out as he was injured last week.  Frost has been struggling.

Our forward line is looking decidedly short unless both Watts and Weideman come in...

Will be interesting to see who gets dropped from the bench.

I have a feeling pedo watts and the weid will all spend time up forward with both McDonald's down back. There's no one super tall for st kilda up forward that we need frost for. He looks tired, they'll give him a break and get ready for Brisbane and the pies. I think it's a smart move if reiwoldt isn't playing.

T mac will stretch them up forward. No need to move him in defense

MODS - THERE ARE ONCE AGAIN TWO THREADS RUNNING IN PARALLEL.

PLEASE MERGE.

Preferably in the future, leave the speculative one running up until the official team list is announced, and lock the other one until the same time.

Only then can we seperate the speculation from the facts.

They will drop Watts i reckon

Agreed.

Weird that they don't state injury as the reason for dropping Salem, despite looking very sore at one stage last week. Surely he wasn't dropped on form?

Membrey will be too big for Hibberd, i think Pedo would be a better matchup. Watts will need to pull his finger out. Harmes, Wagner and Harmes to miss.

I reckon he was. One, they would have said injured if he was. Two i reckon he did not go hard enough last week. Which is why i think Watts will be dropped. His second half was better but as leader he simply failed to show the required leadership in regards to attack on the ball in the first half. And i say that as one of his biggest fans.

Watts was definitely improved in the 2H last week, in fact I thought he was better than pedo all game.

Dropping him this week would be a big mistake in my mind.

Hes played some big roles in big games over the last couple of years, I would absolutely back him in to do it again.

Scratching my head over Frost's omission honestly.. Not likely to request a trade is he?

You could drive a truck through these lines - he's gone pal - Lever is in ;)

Reminds me of when Frawley went forward for 5 months....

He has been poor defensively over the last few weeks, his run from the backline has also dried up, down a bit on form, get his confidence back at Casey this week with a strong game then straight back in hopefully.

I'm suspicious of your motives as poster 64. Six negative posts to start you time on Demonland. Comments sure to raise hackles. We've been to this rodeo before on DL. Do you barrack for the demons?

I agree, he was better than Pedo. Just 

If picked i really hope to see him tear it up. I think the idea of playing him in the ruck to give Max a chop out is a really good one. Gets him near the ball and he is better tap ruckman than TMac.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
