On JKH he is only on a 1yr contract, perhaps he has already lined up another club and told MFC

All parties happy and he 'enjoys' the last few weeks of footy, which he seems to be doing and without any extraneous rubbish to think about

And of course ignoring the insightful comments from the experts on here

    Well, for some reason -  I always felt he got the chop a bit too earlier, so lacked continuity. @Satyriconhome do you know if he WILL be elsewhere next season within the AFL itself? Hope so, seemed like a nice bloke.

    If correct probably means Stretch gets another year with Maynard departing.

    22 and dry in the Alice on Sunday.  I'd like to see us stretch the Eagles defence with Pruess,Smith and Petty.  Then Petracca gets a smaller defender and if we play smart we can isolate him in one on one contests

    At the start of the season we would have earmarked this game as an 8 pointer to determine if we made top 4 if not top 2.

    What can one say

    Loss by 6 DJ if we play well.

     

    Surprises never cease- both Wagners are in.

    Bench: Wagner 1, Wagner 2, ANB, Lockhart.  That is a terrible, terrible bench.  Can't believe Smith isn't in nor is Baker.

    Bit tough on Dunkley to drop him after just one two games. 

    So much for preparing for 2020 if Baker isn't in.

     

    Edit:  thanks to @DemonWorshipperfor correction on Dunkley games.

    Dunkley played 2 games. I can see playing C Wagner over Hannan but why Baker doesn't come in for ANB is the head scratcher.

    ANB had 23 possessions, 3 goals and 3 charlie votes in the Alice game last year.

    An astute selection by our master mind coach.

    A thought - is it possible we’re playing the peripheral blokes (ie; Wagner bros) in case they show a bit and any trade value might increase? ?

    And sure enough we don't pick Smith who did a great job tagging McGovern, and instead pick two of the most uninspiring and ineffective players in the Wagners. 

    If Preuss has another 1 mark 0 goal performance, the two ruckman experiment will surely be disbanded.

    We've been so crap this year and our injury list huge I'd forgotten how bad our team selection panel is. Cost us games last year and continues to be terrible, what J Wagner offers at this stage in front of Baker or T.Smith even JKH is a mystery

    Club web article says the team will fly up on Saturday.  Isn't that a bit odd? 

    Doesn't leave much time for training on the ground and fulfilling our community obligations.

    They should fly up on Sunday morning. It would save on accommodation and make no difference to the result. Plus, they’d have an excellent excuse.

    Team selection has been puzzling most of the season but what do I know.

    You only need to look at the number of wins to see the selectors are doing a good job  

    Ummmm where are we on the ladder!!!!!

    West Coast's confidence is shown by naming 3 debutants on their extended bench...

    Arrogance big time but who can blame them all they have to do is turn up and apply pressure for a few minutes and we will consistently turn the ball over. 

    If I was them I would fly in on Sunday and it still wouldn’t make a difference to the result.

    He's a defender; the others aren't.

    C Wagner on the other hand...

    I can understand why ANB is playing and why Hannan is not. And in all seriousness, C Wagner for Dunkley isn't much of a change. What interests me, though, is why J Wagner is in when it's two forwards that got the chop. We can but hope it means Salem on the wing or in the midfield.

    God I can’t wait for the season to end. 

    Another wasted year full of excuses and bs. 

    Another season of nothing.

    Welcome to the MFC where results mean bugger all and a good performance is not turning the ball over too much. 

    FMD this club tests u.

    Unfortunately last year is a world away from this year.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
