    Change Melk and Viney on the team sheet.  Bench of Bedford, Pickett, Lockhart and Sparrow.

    Jackson wasn't announced as a debutante so he probably won't play and be an emergency. 

    Every chance the club has thoughtfully included him in the squad so he can get home and see his family and friends.

    Cancelled out if Weed makes the final cut. It's a zero sum game.

    Why is ANB playing ?

    Kozzie and bedford are debutantes so they will probably play so my other 2 would be Sparrow and the weed or lockhart.

    I assume one of Hore and Lockhart will play as the seventh dewfender, depending on whether we need a mid-sized or small defender. With Bedford and pickett already announced, that would seem to leave  a fight between Weideman, Brown and Jackson for the final tall foward spot, probably in that order, subject to Weideman's ankle being OK. That would leave Brown, Jackson, Sparrow and either Hore or Lockhart as the real emergencies.

    No Jones (first time since when??) 

    No Salem 

    Worried about Salem.

    We certainly need another tall to give Big Max a chop out.

    Just think out loud here, but I think the AFL has mad a monumental stuff up in cutting short quarters.

    Given that from my understanding there are no second tier comps like the VLF for AFL listed players at the moment, they should have introduced X 3 subitutes instead of cutting game time.  That way it would still provide a means of managing match minutes, but also provide more of an oppertunity for match practice and fitness for the players just outside the best 22.

    Unfortunately I think it's a bit ominous that AVB isn't on the extended bench.  He would have been one of my first picked against the Eagles if he was fit.

    Broken foot,  3 months.  Announced this morning.

    Did you miss the big article where it said he's out for three months?

    Anything on Jones? Or is it a case of him being older and spared the flight? He was showing plenty in the preseason in a new role

    Has an Achilles injury according to the MFC website.

    Well that’s him out for a moth or more. That hurts us. More than people realise. Probably not so much against West Coast. In the next few games though

    Where did you read he was out for month?

    As of yesterday he was listed as 'test' so I'd imagine he will be in line for next week.

    He didn't.  He's guessing.

    @Jaded - Goodwin mentioned that Salem will be right for next week, he just didn't do enough at training to get up for this one.  Doesn't seem to be one to worry about.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
