      Lever, Hannan, AVB and Joel Smith... will be so good to have them back.

    A star backman, a crafty forward, a raging bull and a great athlete who played great in JLT.  Sadly it will be too late to turn around our season by then though.

    Unless they’re all injured on 2020 season eve

    If Frost ran through the midfield on a Cripps or Fyfe they’d have 60 & kick 6. The answer to the original question is Frost is delisted at seasons end. He’s not up to it in defence or forward and certainly isn’t a midfielder . As soon as Lever & May are fit it’s OMac & potentially Petty playing for th 3rd tall if required

    At this stage I disagree with any talk of delisting Frost. We turned over about a third of our list last year after finishing 4th! Not saying they were all wrong but we now struggle for depth so we don’t have the luxury of dumping guys like Frost just yet. Unless we have identified better replacements from other clubs. 

    yes Frost is not a natural footballer, he is an athlete and a quite extraordinary one at that,  big, strong and fast and he can catch a ball and he can kick it long. Just not a lot of finesse.

    at the moment we need him down back but if Lever and May come back, can we potentially use him elsewhere? If not the midfield, what about the wing where he can chase and block the opposition transition? Geelong have developed Bliscalvs in that role. Does he have more footy I Q? 

    To stress I am not saying this is ideal, it is just trying to make full use of what limited resources we have.

    An 194 cm athletic type who can take a mark and play both ends (and relief ruck).  It is something we need.    He deserves  a chance.

    For what it's  worth I wouldnt mind seeing him have a crack in defence. Not like we're playing for sheep stations any longer eh !!

    Let's hope so. I really hope Goody is now beyond playing Weid all year for development irrespective of form and pitting T. Smith vs Keilty for that spot this week.

    I think I’ve given up on match selection. I’ve been pretty quiet on DL during the week and it’s pretty much because I have nothing to add lately. How many more changes can we really put through the wash cycle? Oscar to VFL, Weid to VFL, Trac to VFL I honestly think there’s been 3 players that haven’t been suggested a run in the Magoos. 

    Keep Hore and Lockhart in, maybe persist with the Stretches and ANBs (mostly through lack of alternatives) and the rest can just happen for all I care.

    I hope not. Seriously, 10 disposals at VFL level and people are suggesting he should be promoted!! Would rather persist with Weid as his form will eventually turn. Keilty is just not at AFL standard, that is why he is still a rookie.

    According to Goody, T Mac to return to the fwd line.

    I suspect his brother will come back in to play defence while Weed (who’s been putrid the last fortnight) to be dropped. Not sure if a T Mac, Weed and T Smith forward line would function??

    So you don't agree with my opinion. Ok, but you might refrain from name calling. Show some respect. 

    How about you show some respect for Jonesy who has bled red and blue and then I might return the favour.

    Exactly. With Viney out, our team is now weaker. Let’s just hope some attitude and will to win kicks in. How about adopting a “beat your direct opponent and get the footy” mentality. 

  • Quote

    Tmac going forward, and Goody eluding to Weid potentially out (my take on his words). Viney out injured.

    I think we could bring in both OMac and Kielty, taller side than last week but we've still got plenty of inside mid strength

    Sheeit Frost is the LEAST of our concerns When ?? And IF?? May and Lever ever make it back to full fitness and play good footy and we have a full complement to choose from ... Guess What???? 

    Frosty stays .. In the side as a Tall Wing option!! 

    Give the Guy a Break, has been very good this year!

    Waiting for these injured players to return is like waiting for a tradesman to turn up. They give you a time, you take time off work, you wait patiently, only for them to reschedule at another time totally unsuitable for you. You want to sack them all but you need someone to do the job. You are stuck and have to resign yourself to be patient again. SO FRUSTRATING. Sort of sums up what being a Melbourne supporter is all about.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
