The Demons were traveling along nicely when they played the Gold Coast Suns earlier this season. 

With so much at stake this time, they cannot afford to take the Suns lightly.

These were the selected teams from Round 8 when Melbourne drew away in the last half to win by 69 points.

THE TEAMS  
 
GOLD COAST SUNS

B: Jarrod Harbrow, Rory Thompson, Steven May 
HB: Aaron Hall, Jack Leslie, Callum Ah Chee 
? Jack Bowes, Jarryd Lyons, Lachie Weller 
HF: Nick Holman, Brayden Crossley, Charlie Ballard 
F: Jack Martin, Sam Day, Aaron Young 
Foll: Jarrod Witts, Touk Miller, David Swallow 
I/C: Ben Ainsworth, Michael Rischitelli, Brad Scheer, Alex Sexton 
Emg: Will Brodie, Jacob Heron, Connor Nutting, Max Spencer  
 
In: Aaron Hall, Jack Leslie, Steven May
 
Out: Jesse Joyce (injured), Matt Rosa (injured) Max Spencer (omitted)

MELBOURNE

B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta
HB: Angus Brayshaw, Jake Lever, Bernie Vince
? Jordan Lewis, Nathan Jones, Christian Salem
HF: James Harmes, Jesse Hogan, Jake Melksham
F: Sam Weideman, Tom McDonald, Christian Petracca

I/C: Charlie Spargo, Mitch Hannan, Alex Neal-Bullen, Bayley Fritsch
Emg: Jayden Hunt, Jeff Garlett, Tim Smith, Josh Wagner

I’m feeling that we don’t press on Viney, Hibbo or any others having a break. I’d be happy to let Hogan take some time off, bring in one of (AVB/Pedo) for Hogan. 

Spargo to one of (Kent/Bugg).

everyone else we should retain - I hold high hopes for next weekend, possibly even get our percentage back up to over 130% to hold back the other contenders.

The main outs this time around would be Jake Lever and Michael Hibberd while Jack Viney was on the cusp of coming back. 

If we can get Hibberd and Viney back into the side for the big run home, it would be very helpful.

A fit and ready to go J Hunt may be a finals wildcard if we make it too,

Has AVB improved in the two years he missed?

 

Thats the big question his Tackling pressure and hardness are top shelf elite, but how has his impact been in regards to general possesions,kicking goals etc.

How far is Hunty off from playing at Casey? He'd have to play 2-3 blinders in a row to be considered for the Dees.

Will play this weekend coming and yes, would need a good patch for sure

 

Alright, I’ve been meaning to discover why the hell the super smiley emoji always appears instead of the ‘C’ on people’s team sheets?!

is our midfield super smiley happy all the time? 

Lets see.....

    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?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
