Garlett was good in VFL so he has at least put his hand up.

Spargo cannot be dropped on today's form though.

 

I agree with above:

Viney and Hannan in.

Tyson and Kent out. 

Simples (chipmunk squeak)

Hannan and Viney in,hope we don't get anymore injuries though cupboard is starting to get a bit bare. Don't want our finals campaign to be derailed.

Spargo will benefit the most from a week off, so he stays in.

JKH made a few critical errors and it was painfully obvious most players were looking for options other than him, even when he was the open player. Other than that he was ok.

For me it's Tyson and Kent out for:

Viney and Hannan.

Would also look at JKH for Garlett but JKH applies way more pressure and covers the ground. Garlett, on song, kicks goals. Tough one. 

Do not want Bugg

Watch the highlights and look how many goals Spargo was directly involved in ... he is a silent assassin.  So many important touches.

With two weeks to freshen up he will play vs the Cats....  not bad playing your first final at 18 years of age!

Spargo was far from great today

Crumbed well, distributed well and set up a few goals. Will be playing finals on today’s effort, take it to the bank!

It looks as if there will be two compulsory changes.

I wouldn't be so sure. 2 weeks is a long time in footy, especially come finals.

Brilliant finish to the season, big energy boost going into finals (I don’t like the week off), hope we can maintain the rage.

JKH, well done!! Keep building on it and meh me off. 

Friday night final... that f k. At the G thank f k. The goodly wife has the ballet on Sat night and was going To sell her tickets as I was going to fly to Sydney if we played GWS. I get to nurse a hang over managing to kids under 3 Sat night, yeas!

Just you wait. Fast forward 12 years and we'll have won 5 premierships and it'll be the first non-finals year of his career. He'll be the reverse Jones.

There's a job to do for sure.

I suspect one of Tyson and Kent will get up. So for mine would be:

Viney for JKH

Joel Smith for either Tyson/Kent, then move Fritsch up the ground (wing or forward).

If Garlett plays another decent game, selection could get tricky, especially as the logical out if he comes in would be Spargo - which would be a bit stiff.

Going to throw a curve, what if Hunt passes his test and plays in VFL unscathed on Saturday? Would you put him on the short list of ins? Geelong aren't known for being a quick team and his pace could be handy against that mob.

Could possibly be:

Ins: Hannan, Viney, Hunt

Out: Kent, Tyson, JKH.

Didn't mind JKH today, but I do like hunts pace. The cat's have been a tough assignment for us, I think we need to load up with whatever weapons we have.

What a great run from vanders to be entrenched in that side. Amazing.

If Tyson is done then Viney and Hannan.

JKH survives as he is serviceable and is more use than Bugg. 

vandenFyfe is showing why I fell in love with him from that first NAB Challenge game.

Having said that, I really doubted his body would hold up like he has but so good to see him back in the team as a vital contributor.

He is also a big effing unit and uses the whole apartment.

I think Spargo is underrated a little round these parts.  He had a hand in a number of goals today with his crumbing work.  As others have stated, with Kent and Tyson both going out, there is no chance that Spargo doesn't play.  

Spargo really showed his worth for mine today especially in the second half. I know he’s probably feeling it but he’d be pretty stiff to get droppped based on today.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
