No change...  or will we finally see a player or two rested with a relatively short break on the return from Alice Springs?  

Next weeks games are quite interesting as it will see the top 9 play the bottom 9.

I wonder if this has ever happened before?

I think the top nine played the bottom nine last year after the first round which was very bizarre

No change.  

I know it's a 6 day turn around, but we have a 9 day break after this game leading into the Queen's Birthday clash.  We've won by 200 points over the last fortnight, no need to make changes unless we absolutely have to.

No change unless someone needs a rest. Reward brilliant form. Everyone is playing their role. Go Dees!

No changes based on form, but there's also no extra credit for naming an unchanged side for another week.

The shorter week, the fast pace of todays game, heat and the fact we're back at that [censored] hole Etihad next week might necessitate a few changes.

Agree with all above. Stiil cant get over todays performance, just wow.

The only change is the narrative.  Time to take us seriously.  Cats, Hawks and Tiggers damned happy they played us before the Tsunami started.

When was the last time all/most of us didn’t want any changes to the side?

My how things have changed. 

Its a great feeling.

Also the Doggies played Friday night so they will have a lot of extra rest than us.

After the Brisbane game (against GC), players had to catch a flight, so we’re a bit rushed. Tonight they are in Alice, so will get opportunity to recover more like they normally do after a game before flying tomorrow.

 

The boys will be fine...

Goody might do a shorter main training session this week to get ready for dogs. I think Spargo might be an option for a rest but he deserves to play against the dogs.

The only change I'd consider assuming everyone pulls up sound is Spargo.  That's not a comment on his form which has been fine, but simply that he's young and might need  rest now that he's had a few games at the top level.  Realistically, you'd think a team that's juts won by those margins in the last two rounds would be untouchable though.  Clearly the mix is right at the moment.

The team is finally playing as that A TEAM so no changes unless someone pulls up sore.

Posted

Given the difference in recovery time we might need to switch a couple, and Tom Mac might need to be managed, but on form you'd have to stay with the group.

Posted

Almost impossible to make a case for a change .... NO Change.

Weid and Pedersen back to Williamstown.. almost deja vu save that instead of Hibberd they will have Hunt off the backline.

Next week should be a regulation win if we are the team we wish to become.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
