Hibbo in the fwd line? possibly nullifying Mcgovern? or just team sheets not really reflecting positions.

If Charlie's inclusion in the starting 18 means that he will play on Sunday (as it usually does), then I know even less about football than I thought I did.  I really think he has a bright future, but to me, he has looked 'cooked' for the last several games.  I hope we don't look back on his inclusion as another costly selection blunder.

nah JKH IS A DUD. Play Hannan

Hibberd in the forward line has me bum-puzzled. Goodwin doesn't play ducks and drakes like that.
Tom McDonald Mk. II…?

Would be interesting if he is playing ducks and drakes. Hibberd to negate McGovern. Or just make Westcoast worry about it.....

Maybe you're just making arsumptions about the hole thing.

Tmac said a couple of weeks back, "it's just a team sheet - wouldn't pay too much attention to it"

Hibberd and Tyson both out of position, just being clear they're named

Would say Melk and Kent own those positions and leaves 2 more for the bench... Be guessing as to who

Honestly our selection committee have some kind of man love for Spargo. I like him, but I would be bringing in anyone else after last week's performance. 

I want Kent to have a run before his contract is up and we have to make a call on his future.

I think WC may struggle to contain the smalls give their tall defenders,hence why Spargo is still playing. 


Happy to see Spargo backed in, and not surprised to see it. He made some poor decisions last week - but won't make them again. It's called development.

What a joke, Spargo keeps his spot.

I have to agree, I can’t see how the match committee feel he’s done enough over the last few weeks to retain his spot. If nothing else he just looks off the pace  

I’m picturing the bench as: Kent, Melksham, Fritsch, JKH

Against the Eagles, 

I'd place on the bench:

  • Kent,
  • Melksham,
  • Pedersen, and
  • Wagner.

I'd take from the bench:

  • JKH,
  • Hannan,
  • Fritsch, and
  • Garlett.

But then again, Hannan would be good in the team to replace Lewis at Bkpkt and Fritsh should be in for Spargo.

I think he survives because of Garletts performance, can't be playing musical chairs with the forward line. Plain and simple

I'd be amazed it Fritsch is dropped before Spargo.

Garlett frustrates me no end at the moment.  I feel as though every time we need him to perform in a big game he goes missing.  His best performance since returning to the senior side was against Gold Coast.  Even SWYL could have snagged a few against that mob.

I'd rather us play Kent than Garlett.  Melksham, Weid and Hibberd are the other ins.  With Hogan and Hunt, I'd be looking at dropping Garlett and Pedersen.  JKH survives by the hair of his chinny chin chin.

Just guessing we'll wear 

the navy blue jumper with the red back, white shorts and red socks

... and a jock strap.

 

 Spargo may well be a GOOD future player but right now.

1 He is Too Slow

2 Cannot kick more than 35 Meters which is school boy stuff.

On a fast track he will be exposed big time!

Also JKH if he plays is the luckiest player next to Spargo Currently going around! IMV

I’m a Garlett fan and still a believer... I’d like to see a final bench of:

Melksham, Kent, Garlett and Fritsch.

Plenty of run and pace there.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
