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 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

Triple Premiership player Tom Sparrow?

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.

well if JJ plays 300 games and is an AA and multiple BnF, i will stand corrected

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
