According to Tom Morris Hunt will be dropped.

I would assume that Frost will come in.

 

Guessing they had a conversation in the middle of the training oval like Hannan last week?

I'm picking three changes this week, with two because of injury concerns. One could be from left field in  Balic with Brayshaw and because of the other injury i'm thinking we might just keep Pederson against his old team and put in Frost as well.

How it all will work, not sure, but they have talls that we need to cover........

Frost for Hunt

I heard Goodwin's interview on SEN early this week and he was effusive with his praise for Bugg, so I won't get my wish of him being dropped.

It won't surprise me at all if there's "no change".

Did he praise his goal kicking????

Small forward line could backfire if we dont lower the eyes and hit targets. Nth will lap up our long bombs with ease. Goodwin addresses one issue but then creates another withPedo omission? So less petracca in middle will cost us.

Strange decisions made again at match committee. 

Too many small forwards (we aren’t Richmond)

No run out of hb (Lewis and Vince don’t have any dash left)

No backup ruck (frost will play this, but then who will play tall defender.....)

i think we will win but not by the amount we should

Agree on Hunt. It would be great to see him get back to his 2016 form.

Early last year he was talked about as AA potential until getting KO'd in SA.

Anyone else reckon this thread becomes redundant once the team is announced in the other thread?

Each week we seem to end up with two threads essentially discussing the same thing.  Mods?

Hunt has been the same since he knocked himself out! Either give him a rest or hoping he finds confidence in the twos.

Still I would have gone Frost in for Wagner, and left Pedo at CHF.

I reckon I'm batting at one for twenty-four at trying to pick Goodwin's teams on a Thursday night. I keep telling myself that he knows the players far better than I, but I've seen enough to know that Josh Wagner is not taking us forward. 

Last year you could have said that about OMc.

The year before that, you could have said it about Nibbler.

Each footy season seems to bring a spring surprise.

Watching Robbo fawning over Melissa Etheridge on AFL 360 is a better emetic than ipecac.

Do you think he knows she bats for the other team?

I've always thought of Robbo as the Molly Meldrum of footy...

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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
