    I probably shouldn’t reveal that but signs aren’t good for Josh Wagner, Corey Maynard & Billy Stretch.

    Reasin being?

    Must say i am a bit perplexed with this decision.. Sparrow in my opinion has looked out of his depth during the JLT games.

    With injuries and suspension in the backline that’s a big out of correct.

    For all of his aging legs he is still the best general we have down back.

    Unfortunately I think Lewis is cooked, so I’m happy with this.  Hibbo and Nev are experienced enough to direct the back line

    Is that why he’s a late withdrawal?

    From the kids Jordon looked more likely from jlt. 

    Sparrow had 4 touches in the half he played. Maybe he played better for casey?

  • Quote

    If the reason is something like 'hamstring soreness' it might just be the toll of the heat and humidity and his lack of speed will be exacerbated in those conditions?  Just guessing.

    I just hope Sparrow has a reasonable game then gets a good go at it.  I still have nightmares of the Petty selection last year.

    If this is true and I have yet to see any evidence of such then it is a ridiculous decision. Sparrow looked like he was no where near ready. I would bring kielty in.

    Just now, whatwhatsaywhat said:

    Sparrow was very good in the practice game against a fairly strong Pies unit

     

     

    Yes he was.   Look forward to seeing him debut tomorrow.

    I would rather Lewis tho - he was good all preseason

    Huge stretch mate.. he had about 4 touches for 2 qtrs and had the fumbles. Way out of his depth that game.

    Like replacing Godzilla with Bambi, but he deserves a crack, bring it on.

    I'm not sure he deserves a crack, but he will have a crack, that's for sure

    Fair enough. Who else could they have bought in?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy he's in. No-one else has been banging the door down, but neither was he (from what we've seen).

    Stretch must be hanging on by a thread.

    Very unlikely to see Stretch on the G again. Great heart, great trainer, not so great on the skills & footy brain required to compete and win at the next level unfortunately. Wish him all the best.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
