    Hogan kicked badly today but to say he should be dropped is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. 

    Someone mentioned he is low on confidence??! He kicked 4.1 last week.  

    Perspective - against the Suns

    Drop Jones, Garlett. Play Fritsch forward. Move ANB in the middle, alternate with Trac.

    Bring in Hibberd, Milshake.

    Oliver to captain.

    Ahh what? You want to drop Jones but yet keep this buffoon in? Same bloke that kicked it straight to a swan 7 times and then cracked his decks in the middle of the MCG from a Petracca kick?

    Wow..

    IN

    Kent -  played well and kicked three for Casey yesterday.

    Melksham  -  automatic inclusion if 100%.  His ball use was sorely missed today.

    Hibberd   -  another obvious inclusion if he's right to go.  His hardness and run out of defence have been missed during his absence.

    OUT

    Spargo  -  has a future, but was a 'rabbit in headlights' today.  Some finals experience at Casey is due.

    Hunt -  I liked his inclusion on Friday, but was clearly 'underdone' and way out of form today.  My bad!  Probably out injured anyway.

    Peddersen  -  again I liked his selection on Friday, but realistically, he was only ever holding the fort for Hibberd / Smith.  Solid gap-filler over the years but time has caught up.

    Thin ice

    Garlett had a stinker today, but was among our best 6 to 8 last week.  He gets a reprieve for mine

    JKH was just adequate, and I can't see an obvious replacement.  Hannan maybe, but to me he doesn't seem to work hard enough, end to end.

    Others also had disappointing games today, but no point in 'throwing out the baby ........... '.

    I'm not sure Hibberd is right to go yet.

    I hope we don't rush him in because on the off chance we make finals he is vital to us putting up some kind of a show.

    Clearly will be the two ins with Hibberd and Melky and I would have thought Hannan, Wags, Weid, Kent and Bugg are all in the mix for a recall as well although I can't see them all returning in one hit.

    The three likely outs by my reckoning are:

    Hunt - Injured his ankle ligaments again I think, but let's wait and see what club says on this. 

    Pedo - Replaced Smith as we tried going big, but he just wasn't able to play that intercepter role and you have to wonder what selectors were thinking in picking him as a third defender against a small side like the Swans. With Hibberd out, Wags was the logical like-for-like choice. Further to this Oscar got the easy second-tall gig on McCartin and that meant his confidence and standing rose as Pedo's fell.

    Spargo - I love his workrate but I reckon his two shots that ended up short make it hard to justify him at such a  young age. 

    Then the club has to decide whether they can afford to again play Hoges and Garlett  who have been unable to have an impact in big games, although both have been mega-impressive in our easy wins.

    Ousting them means a major restructure of forward line late in season.  

    If Hoges is too sore, then I actually think Weids can do a fairly good job of replacing him.

    In. Melksham. Hibberd. Kent. 

    Out. Spargo. Pedersen. Hunt.

    Pretty obvious this week.

    Spargo isn’t ready. I said a few weeks ago he wasn’t strong enough to stick tackles. Today it was his lack of composure and inability to kick 40m. Just not ready. 

    Seeriously 40 meters … try 30 not ready and as I have said elsewhere has NO PACE!

    This is spot on.. recon Jesse will miss through injury-  if so I’d go a smaller forward line and bring Hannan in.

    Yeah okay. If hogan injured then pederson stays in and plays down forward. One last chance for Garlett.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
