I agree with this.  I read a training report that Fritsch was training with the mids. 

I think ANB comes out for Garlett and Fritsch will push up the ground. 

Trac in for Salem of course. 

They didn't train in their lines/groups today, it was mix and match, so Fritsch with the mids was this

    Never said it would upset him. 

    Just will be interested in seeing it and tbh, I think you can get in his head where all he cares about is the niggly crap. 

    Nah not Nut, he would laugh at them

    Cheers. 

    I still think Garlett comes in for ANB.  

    We are a better side when Garlett is up and going.

    Garlett couldn’t possibly come in after 1 week and from reports he was just ok. 

    If Hogs misses Peds comes in ahead of Smith, Weid (while developing nicely) can’t lead that fwd line when TMac moves up the ground.

    As usual need a really good going away from them win.

    Didn’t Garlett have 10 tackles? Maybe that’s what coaches wanted to see but definitely an increase in Dees VFL players tackle counts. He fits into the side and what a dangerous forward line it becomes, it was only a couple of games ago he arguably won us the game v Lions. Mouth watering if he’s on.

    Interchange for me should be Spargo, Fritch, Smith and Garlett/ANB. Toss up between the last two for me. Do not mind either way. Spargo and Fritch stay after performance last week and I would like to see Smith get a run to see what he has got to bring.

    I still do not like the look of the team with Vince, Lewis and Jones  there.

    Don't have a go at him, I thought it was hilarious, a stream of conciousness, without the need for paragraphs

    Yeah - I was looking for @La Dee-vina Comedia to pass judgement on the style of prose to bring further frivolity.

    2 of those games had less then a kick in them, playing Fremantle in Perth is always hard, and collingwood were close to  useless last year.

    Tx for clarifying. I feel better.

    Give Jeffy a chance on a dry, fast deck against a relatively slow defence and then judge him.

    i reckon he’ll carve them up.

    Its an awesome number especially for him but he is there to kick sausage rolls and outside lions game he hasnt been on. Hes on or off and that is an issue.

    I thought us melbourne supporters melted hard, reading bigfooty saints board they are giving us a fair run for epic melts

    I know he is out of form, but Jeffy coming back into the side would make us an even better side if that makes sense in a weird kind of way? ANB can make way for him.

    I just feel on a dry quick deck, Garlett has the potential to kick your 3-4 goals from anywhere!

    Have you noticed that every team that gets beaten by Melbourne is "in crisis".

    Makes me laugh....

    So why did they “rest” their most consistent midfielder and arguably their best!? Weird [censored]!

    Wilkes-Maester's career was cruelled by not by injury but by how he'd only get to play Melbourne just twice a year.

    We're still a bit of the pace.

    There was a passage of play in the 3rd quarter where we were tentatively handballing it around in front of goal and no one wanted to kick the goal despite completely dominating possession.

    Like the leaking of soft junk time goals it was the play of a team lacking ruthlessness and some self belief

    That was the one where Weideman handballs to Jones, should've had a ping

    I really hope Trac plays and tears the Aints a new one just to rub it in how much better than McCartin he is.... (again)

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
