Based on the ins and no Weid you would think its Ped for T Smith and we will I would back J Smith for Lever. 

Same thoughts. Max will need a decent chop out in the ruck so I cant see a extra small coming in.

    Usually the club lists that and did for Lever but not Smith.

    Check the MFC article and it notes it, maybe not enough space for neck and ankle so they left it blank :)

    What about Peddas and Petty coming in for his first game?

    is Petty up for it? hows he been going at Casey? or is it an encouragement award of being named on the bench. Usually if named to debut you debut... but who knows

    Didnt Pedders get knocked out at the end of the VFL game?

    Thats a fair recovery if so.

    You’ll get over it, Pro.

    Lots of players play the week after if it’s a isolated incident

    Nothing wrong with rewarding form.  

    I'm sure he'll acquit himself well.  I think he's probably a better option than Tim Smith.

    Do we know what on?  Was it after the game or a training mishap?

    If Pedo is alright he comes in for Bull, and from what I hear probably J.Smith or Hunt comes in for lever

    Suprised they listed Petty over both Frost and Keilty, but if they feel he’s up for it would be a helluva game for him to debut

    Pedo and stretch for mine, think hibberd will play levers role and a runner will come in to play the role hibberd was playing

    Just read on Collingwood BF, the game on Queens Birthday is all about celebrating one of Melbourne's former great players.

    I can't go on reading Collingwood BF anymore. These fools are tragically uninformed.

    Give them *some* credit.

    • they realise that Melbourne has former great players
       
    • they remember that there is a club called Melbourne (albeit they're not quite sure which one)
       
    • they know to go to the MCG on Monday. (Although there's always the chance that they go to G every day, having learned like lab rats that sometimes CFC is playing there.)

    BF Mods deleted my post, I don't usually get into internet fights, but a worthwhile cause this was:

    Like they say ... don't argue with fools. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

    Just heard on 7 news Mitch Hannan in doubt.  Hadnt heard anything along these lines?  Anyone ?

    Tell him, "I think therefore I am" and work it out from there.

    Just watched daniher on AFL360 just breaks your heart listening to him, he said it’s probably his last year doing this fundraising if he is still with us he might not be able to talk by then, just a hideous disease I hope the boys come out breathing fire for him 

    MND gig should be at an MFC/EFC match. He was a truly great player, better than Terry, cruelly cut short. One of those players so good that you admire them even though they play for the enemy, ie another club.

    Huge chance for Pedders to come in and cement his spot as that 3rd tall forward/relief ruck.

    Hes been in red hot form in the VFL.  Hope he plays out of his skin the rest of the season and is part of our finals campaign.

    With teams having to put so much time and resources into stopping Hogan and T Mac, the Peddertron may get off the chain.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
