There should be a dislike button for comments like that Bugg is a spud.

 

He's not you know but your over reaction is almost amusing.

Even if you kick 1:4 .. it means you have got the ball in the scoring zone 5 times...........not bad

I have only seen the first half on TV.

WTF suggesting that Burnie gets KOd for that?  NOT high and no consequence though the lying CFC doc after last year will no doubt say that the "victim" was severely concussed, broke his neck and will never play again.

Will Vince get a fine or cop a week?  Jumping off the ground is a bad sign. But Thomas was ok and only hit him in the chest

Wouldn't think he'd cop either. You can jump as high as you like providing you make legal contact. As you say, got him in the chest, no free paid & Thomas (to his credit) bounced straight up

A hit like that is a thing of great beauty

Tbh I hope that the round means less than zero to the match commitee.

I wpuld play spargo and rest after alice if needed.

NO CHANGE

Garlett won't get a game just because it's indigenous round he has to earn it. 

 

Garlett has been stiff and if he breaks in to play in this huge game it will be because the MC think he is the best option for one of the best teams in the league.

God I hope we beat this mob well, the amount of crap I’v heard from Adelaide fans this year about Lever. Plus living in Adelaide doesn’t help.

Can someone tell me why the player dropped from last week would be made cary-over emergency this week?

Tyson was obviously dropped for performance reasons, yet he isn't given the opportunity to work on those areas the following week in the reserves.  And to add insult to injury, they (Casey) were playing an insipid team which would be the perfect chance for Tyson to work on his game.

I rarely criticise the coaching/selection/etc, but this decision is just plain poor.

$1.87 favorites v the crows how did that happen

The Cows have no Walker, McGovern, Sloane and Crouch brothers. No reason why we can’t win this well.

Who were the other emergencies? Pedersen has missed games and deserves a crack at getting back in the team, as do Garlett and Hunt, two guys close to the best 22 if not in it. I'd suggest they picked Tyson as he was the best emergency we had and if there was an injury pre game or coming in to next week to any of the midfielders he'd come straight back in. Belting Frankston would do little for Tyson, he needs the best quality opponents at VFL to play against. As long as they rotate the carry over players I really don't care how they structure it.

Only an opinion but maybe it had something to do with Oliver’s broken finger suffered last week and surgery on Monday. 

If there was a chance Oliver couldn’t come up Tyson would be the most logical replacement.

Bernie shouldn’t go for his bump but then NikNat shouldn’t have gone for his tackle so you never know. 

No change. 

think bernie will get a fine. .....only because thomas bounced up straight away like nothing happened

After 109 point win, and I’m still grinning, normally wouldn’t make any changes, but I would give Spargo a rest next week and bring in Garlett.

Spargo has been going really well and is very competitive but looked a little tired today in the 2nd half.

Bernie stays on for Crows and that hit on Thomas is a bit of what he brings every week, and every really good team always has a few tough players.

Yep, lock it in. Garlett will come in for Spargo. Spargo will be “managed”..

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
