A bit of hysterics happening here, I clearly remember him getting bagged by a lot of posters last year blaming him  for continually slowing down our ball movement.

    I don't blame him. He's a talent and wants to play at the highest level. Doesn't mean he's not a team player he's most likely very frustrated. I think he is better than the 2 players you mentioned.

    Clearly the coaching group don’t think so. The right call to omit him for Pickett.

    Absolutely but I just thought on current form he's been much better than Sparrow. Pickett was always coming in.

    As a player, I like Jordan, think he he has a lot of upside. I also think Sparrow has far more potential as our next inside bull. I just don’t see where Jordan fits, and maybe neither does he

    Sam Weideman had plenty of potential

    Sam Weideman had 3 more years in the system. Please, do you really want to go there?

    I've put a calendar reminder on for April 2026 - I'll get back to you after I review Sparrow's SANFL game then

    Think that'd be more dependent on Melbourne the side rather than Sparrow the player

    Quite amazing, as the Coach describes JJ’s game as “ exceptional “ and then drops him.

    It’s still early in the season, but I am starting to get a Scott Thompson feel about this. Hope I am wrong.

    i'm tipping jj will be the sub.  makes sense.

    Me too as Melksham has been named for Casey.

    Not the first time he's been the sub at Optus and that game was pretty special.

    I thought JJ was more than decent in our win against Sydney last week. He did very well in the middle imo, I would’ve kept him in.

    lol. he is no scott thompson

    it was either him or sparrow. JJ unlucky.

    He had a great game, and is super stiff but when I look at the 22 it's really hard to drop someone ahead of him, with Sparrow being the only option.

     

    With Gawn a walk up start to come back in, I suspect that a small forward (either Spargo or Chandler) will make way as well.

    Salem is going to add significant pressure to Hibbert, Bowery, Rivers or McVee as well.

     

    I do think it is particularly important to make sure that the young guys get as many games as possible to ensure we keep the depth and the list profile/renewal. Sparrow and JJ in particular need to play as often as possible so they are there and ready. Losing them will put a hole in our list profile long term.

    While I’m against him being dropped after last weeks performance, bumping his MFC welcome thread as a morbid representation of his foreseeable departure is a bit dramatic isn’t it? 🤔

    Why is everyone getting a Scott Thompson feel? He played every game in 04 until he got injured.

    Maybe good for a first round pick swap plus player next draft ......with a really low Team.

    Goodwin says a lot of strange things in pressers. The two recent ones that come to mind are:

    1) adamant rather than confident that May would play in round 2.

    2) continually and supremely confident Jackson would stay -  “loves his footy club”

    I wouldn’t be surprised if JJ does suit up Sunday whether it be sub or a late replacement for Hibberd. I don’t recall an MFC player to ever be dropped after the level of output that JJ gave to the club last week.

    He will be the sub. With Kossie back we have another forward option so Melksham probably won't get the gig.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
