    I think 2 games in 5 days will see him back against Essendon

    Our changes are decent IMO. They've lost some best 22 players to injury and suspension, so that helps us. Let's see if the boys can fire up this week after sh*tting the bed last week against the Hawks.

    Disagree about pedo. The weed has shown good form at casey and is the future. Games like this will only help. If he can't mark then spoil for the crummers.

    I like the changes this week. 

    Weidmann gets a chance which is great, which gives us the second ruckman we need and a taller player to complement Hogan, especially when he pushes up the ground. 

    Tyson coming in adds a good, solid mid to the mix and allows us to potentially play Oliver forward a little more. 

    Stretch and Hunt give us some outside run which is something we have lacked a little of. 

    I'd love the get a win this week and I think this team gives us a shot at it.

    I want to see Hunt take the game on and break the game open like he did last year. Goody says he had discovered thjat aspect of his game again in the magoo's. That's great because it was non-existent in the rounds before he was dropped. Mind you, the whole back six have been ordinary since we brought that potato gem Lever in. (jokes) sort of..

    I'm all for getting some games and experience into Weed. Part of me is a bit meh on it tho. I hate Richmond more than any club, and it's such a big stage and important game that could be season defining. Against what was the best defence in the game last season with some experienced defenders, he'll more than likely get eaten alive. And that SHOULD be ok. We need to find out about him. Just a shame for the desperate-for-a-win crowd, like me, as Pedo would have been the better in IMHO for the next 4 quarters of MFCs life.

    I hope it's part of a bigger plan that he misses tomorrow but ones straight back in for Sunday

    I would say Fritsch having a rest and might be back for Essendon off a short break. 

    I worry about losing leg speed but I suppose Hunt and Stretch in balance that out a bit. 

    Not confident at all.

    I must have missed that in his game at Coburg.... boy Goody does love the spin

    Good changes, although I like Fritsch.

    Rapt with the Weideman decision. 

    Pedersen is a dud key forward at AFL level, which has been proven time and time again.

    We all want to win. 

    You do realise that Weideman played in our best win last year ?

    Absolutely, Harmes and Melksham should have been out before Fritsch, good stuff the Weed is in, he needs to stay in for at least a month

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
