Having watched the replays of AFLX Wagner made 1 bad mistake deep in the backline that coughed up a goal but otherwise was very good with the ball, with his spoils/intercepts and with what I saw of hi

Max Gawn told a Demon Army function tonight that Fritsch will play this weekend.

I actually think it's a good thing neither have been selected - it shows that the bulk of our list is fit and that we don't need to blood any young players before they need to. It's a far cry from 201

I'd trade them both for a victory in Round 3 but I do understand your sentiment.

Agree big time Mr Demonland

apparently going to be a howling wind according to the Demonland Tassie locals so the game may come down to the usual unknowns.

I recall a few stuff ups by us last year with the wind !!

These two matches are dress rehearsals for round one and they've stated they'll be picking the best available teams.

Other than Lever, the two non MFC debutantes I'm hoping to see are Fritsch and Balic.  At this stage the others are either developing, depth, or both.

Yep, thank goodness the days of getting a look at the new boys (a highlight for us long sufferings) has been replaced by getting the team primed for the season ahead...

Yeah but from the Melb website and was what I hear from a realiable source

"The final list will be reduced to a 24-man team 90 minutes prior to the match."

Dec hasn't stated packing for Hobart yet so I don't think he'll be playing 

How’s he feeling Drnkn? He looks a different beast this preseason. How’s he feeling about getting a run in the 1s and the preseason for the club compared to last?

He says he's feeling stronger then last year but still trying to find his feet.

Dec has always been a late bloomer so I hope the MFC put some faith into him because I reckon in 2-3 years time he will be a fantastic footballer

Looking at this squad and the players that are missing and expected to come up for R1, there are going to be some very good players missing out when the first team is announced. 

Viney, Jetta, Garlett and Tyson I would assume will walk into the starting 18 when fit. That makes it quite a squeeze to get into the R1 matchday 22.

Why should he be selected?

great question...the facetious part of me thinks because of the reports that he 'talks and holds others to account'...ergo...that's enuff.

Personally, i am very confident he can make the grade, just not straight off the draft as such

He's looked very good on the training track this summer and got some harsh criticism for games he played out of position on the wing last year. He's no world beater but I think he pushes for round 1. Not surprised to see him picked for this.

Yeah from a first hand report he has been killing it this preseason

Bailey is an absolute gun. Hopefully he tears it up this year 

His skill set is the perfect foil for Hogan, T Mac and Garlett up forward.

I picked him in my round 1 best 22 after the draft.  Not sure he will sneak in at this stage, though that will depend on JLT form.  He might be too good to leave out.  Whatever the case,  it wont be long before he breaks into the team.

remove 6 for Saturday (assuming MFC website correct): Smith, Keilty, Petty, JKH, Bugg, Balic

remove 2 more for JLT 2 assuming squad of 22 - Frost, Maynard

Round 1 - Jeff, Jetta, Viney and Tyson return

out - Wagner, Fritsch, Stretch, Pederson??

Gees it is getting hard to pick a 22!!  probably will have a couple injured/unavailable for round 1 you would assume though

I would say he is up against Hannan for a spot in the round 1 side, so he is definitely a chance if he plays well in the next couple of weeks.

Has always struck me as somebody who doesn't know how good he is, you need to tell him he is on the list for a reason

Defensive drills on Wednesday he was one of the best performers, even when Bull Smith tried to kill Weed, Hibbo and Dec in one movement

Okay this is now reminds me of another pre-season I remember, when I believed we would be invincible.

 

No. That's all of them. They all were the best parts of the season..

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
