Any whispers or inside word on who might come in this week? Preuss is a lock, given Gawn was smacked last time around. I feel Gawn will spend a large chunk of the game at FF. Anyone else interesting?

    I understand the Match Committee is checking to see if we have anyone on our list by the name of Lazarus.

    He'd be getting on a bit but we might be able to snaffle him in the mid season draft

    Think Gawn will spend more time floating across the backline which is where they will hurt us. Pruess will do the ruckwork forward of centre

    I heard there’s a broom in the cupboard that’s been in decent form, it might be a chance of getting selected.

    According to Wikipedia, Gary Lazarus kicked 206 goals in 132 games. Not bad from the back pocket!

    Not so sure on that, they only played 1 ruck last week (Vardy) with Oscar Allen the back up. We might decide to use Tim Smith to back up Gawn and then include another mobile forward option like Baker or ANB to replace Melksham.

    Sustaining really high forward pressure and locking the ball forward might be the only way to stop their forwards tearing our backline apart.

    Baker to debut...

    Confirmed?

    Preuss for Keilty 

    ANB for Melksham

    Baker it Petty for Hibberd

    We don’t really have many defenders left. I can’t see them debuting Jordan just yet. Wagner has been in good form in the VFL but we don’t necessarily want another small forward in.

    The broom has osteitis pubis so I’m going with: 

    Out: Melksham, Keilty, Hibberd

    In: ANB, Preuss, Petty

    I reckon Tim Smith to get the call up rather than Petty. Petty is built like Cale Morton.

    Fair call, I didn’t realise he was available.

    Cale Morton went to West Coast for pick 200 but was delisted shortly after so he wont play. But Tim Smith would be a good chance.

    Melksham out I would look to bring in Tim Smith and ask him to play a similar game as Melk. Run through the midfield every now and then and play high half forward.

    Hibberd out then move Fitsch back there to keep some run out of the back line. Anb to come back or maybe Ossie Baker gets a run. it may be too much of an ask to debut him in Perth against WC. it may scar him for life.

    Preuss for Keilty. Dec has had a taste and now knows the steps he needs to take. let him mature some more at Casey.

    The words of bitter experience?

    Maybe put it in a book. "Confessions of a Corporate Box Invitee". Then there was the time the boss brought his very religious wife with him. Turned out she was more than a little saucy! I had no sooner sat down next to her ...

    I think you're mixing up events. I was talking about the football on Friday night. You seem to be referring to Scott Morrison's chances the following day.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
