That's a stronger team than I expected. Looks like the older guys rested: Lewis, Gawn, Vanders, Jetta, Hibberd

I took the liberty to change the positions around for the starting 18, left the bench as named.

The backline without May, Hibberd, Jetta and Lewis seems pretty weak, but there's enough in the midfield and forward line to put in a decent contest.

I noticed that - I took it straight from the article.  It looks like they did it for the first few and then gave up and just stuck any old names in there.

    In 100 year from now when the majority of games are played in 38 degree temperature, they'll look back at this thread and laugh their heads off.

    But they will be playing JLT’s on Heard Island in summer by then.

    The AFL are probably beholden to their broadcast partners and therefore this is not an option for them.

    If the AFL is beholden to the broadcasters, they're not partners. As I've said before, "broadcast partner" is a horrible expression. It is blatantly a false statement. "Broadcast overlord" is much more realistic.

    Gawn, Jetta, Vanders and Hibberd are listed as emergencies on the AFL website teams

    Still looks like a good side even with the 4 outs. J.Wagner must lift last chance to impress the selectors. I think we will by 12 points even though the tigs have a strong list.

    The “outs” and how they appear to be tracking:-

    1. Stephen May (hamstring) — due to return to full training shortly. 
    2. Nathan Jones (hamstring /ba ck tightness) — should be fit to start the season. 
    6. Jordan Lewis — rested? 
    7. Jack Viney (ankle surgery) — should be fit to start the season.
    8. Jake Lever (ACL surgery) — hopefully will be back training with the main group in about a month. 
    12. Toby Bedford — not selected.
    16.  Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) — available to play Round 1 but more likely in the VFL. 
    18. Jake Melksham hamstring) — due to return to full training shortly. 
    19. Mitch Hannan (knee) — return in the middle of the first half of the season. 
    27. Aaron Nietschke (ACL surgery) — season 
    35. Oskar Baker — not selected.
    37. Kade Chandler — not selected.
    38. Tim Smith — left training early on Thursday. 
    43. Guy Walker (shoulder surgery) — return date not available.
    46. Austin Bradtke — not selected.

    I'm not convinced the so called "emergencies" aren't playing! Waiting for confirmation from MFC of final selection.

    65 pints! That's heroic! I usually pass out after 15.

    The biggest challenge will not be driving up the highway or standing in the heat, but it will be avoiding the Richmond fans who are up and about again. Just say over and over again to yourself ""this is just a practice game, this is just a practice game, and it does not count.."

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
