You want another quick deck and the opposition to run all over us? 

Our frenetic game style is perfectly suited to a quick deck. That's exactly what we want.

It's the big grounds (like the MCG and Optus Stadium) that don't suit us if we don't work hard enough on the defensive spread.

The dimensions of Geelong suit us nicely, like Adelaide Oval's dimensions.

    In: May, KK, Lockhart

    Out: Hore, Spargo, Wagner

    Not surprised.

    Changes should give us a bit more run and a bit more aggro.

    Not sure who is going to help Max in the ruck...

    KK, May and Lockhart in. Wagner, Spargs and Hore out.

    Frosty stays. Not too sure about this, especially if it's wet.

    How Frost is still in the team is beyond me. He. Is. Awful. 

    If he could at least offer us something in the ruck I would understand. But he only offers turnovers.

    agree.. i'd only keep one of frost or o-mac in the side.. shame about the boys dropped, but they'll be back

     


    Was nervous this time last week when the sides were announced. Am so again this week, Frost lucky to keep his spot. Rushing KK in after 1 VFL practice match (sounds familiar) another debutant after getting a spot on the list 2 weeks ago ? Screams desperation

    How the [censored] is Frost still in the team. Wagner a bit stiff, he at least had a dip last week. And I hope Todd plays instead of Jack, reckon he would move better.

    Knew Kolodjashnij was coming in, he is a good player. 

    Great to see Lockharts dream come true.

    Keilty emergency again, thought he was a chance this week but at least he is still in contention. If he keeps his good form cor a couple of VFL games, hopefully he gets a go sooner rather then later.

    Just glad Viney is playing.  Fingers crossed they aren't risking him and hes good to go.


    I hope Viney is fully fit and not taking the spot of someone who is.

    Frost could be used on a wing or up forward is my guess

    Omg Frost on the wing turning it over. What a dream!

    Viney was never going to be dropped. 

    I have a feeling Frost is in the side to pinch hit in the ruck and possibly play forward a bit. 

    Thank god Hore is out. Frost and Oscar still in the team makes me worry. Interesting to see how they play Frost.

    I'm not filled with confidence... Unless he's improved his fitness drastically in 7 days

    Any chance for some positivity from Melbourne supporters?

    How about getting behind the boys instead of acting like spoilt brats?

    Yes Round 1 was disappointing but the last time we played Geelong we beat them in an Elimination final.

    There is so much negativity going around atm from supporters it's quite ridiculous. 

    It's round 2 FFS and we have a very important game coming up. Let's chuck the dummy out of the cot when it is Round 4 and we are 0-4.

    Trouble is I have read this book before. Under neil D    one year good  next year shizen.   Hope history not repeating.   Worry that injuries ect preseason has left us  under done and in a few weeks  may come good but too late.  Would not want to be 0 -4

    Frost doesn’t wear 30 on his jumper. 

    Yes he had a bad one last week but he wasn’t alone. He played some good footy last year.

    I agree with Wise he is probably there to pinch hit in the ruck and play a bit forward.

    Because he's speed was so damaging in that passage of play in the last qrt where he burst through the middle, had no idea what to do then got pinged holding the ball & stupidly booted it away & gave away 50

    Agree on both

    But is it really doing anyone any real favours by playing Jack if not properly fit/recovered ?

    Just asking.

    Or in the first quarter when he received the ball at full pace, decided to change direction at full pace and ended up laying on the ground, being tackled and caught holding the ball.

    Maybe Viney is fit and just had a really poor game last week. Or maybe he received an early knock last week.

    Agreed that we should not be carrying unfit players but gee we need his intensity...hopefully it is his usual intensity and not the Round 1 intensity.

     

    Goody could be doing a Sheedy and bring Pruess in at the last minute for Frost.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
