First thought is, will we see Weideman again?

Second is, (and I don't recall the other team selections where he was positioned vs where he lined up) with Trac at Full forward, resting in the midfield, could be quite interesting.

    From that lot, I'd like to see OMac, Hunt, Lockhart and Brown in the final 22.

    Poor old Weideman clearly still struggling.

    I hope for Rivers, Hunt, Brown and Lockhart as the bench, meaning Brown takes vandenBerg's spot.

    Weed is so gone - yeah I get Brown is maybe a bit more mature but Weed could be our future?

    Like most I'm amazed he's not even named....

    Must of hit Goodwins car at training or something I dunno

    on the bench i'd be tempted to to jackson - avb - hunt - lockhart

    o mac must be a shot to play on one of riewoldt or lynch too, i'd guess

    i dunno, it's all just a bit...uninspiring

    no viney vs stack re-match either, as the latter has been dropped; they also omitted ross plus astbury is injured too

    carnage for our (former) opponents too; gawn would've been going up against a first-gamer or possibly aliir

    Bennell, seriously could the club stop the BS and tell us whats up,? on one calf he is ahead of: Spargo, AVB, Brown, Melk, and Hannan. That said I think Petracca is a much stronger unit that Fritsch, a'la Dunstall, and like the idea of him at FF.

    Yes, we will.

    I don't think until the team is ready;  and also,  his body is bigger, so I reckon they want to encourage him to be a lot more physical now.  I suspect this is a lot do with it and also I wouldn't play him until we are in-form.

    If Weid is not injured, then it is starting to get very concerning he has not been considered for the first third of the season.

    And ahead of Jones and ANB, too.

    Did he play well in the scratch match?

    we need to give him a run - far out even if we name him then he doesn't play is a better sight than seeing Spargo

    Jacko will be great but we need a tall forward right now

    Good thing we re-signed him last year.

    Definitely shouldn’t have traded him last year when his value was still relatively high like I suggested.

    Don't know.

    But its by far one of the most uninspiring team selection in a long time.

    I noticed that as well, had been looking for part 2, but I think Sydney has been living off that for a while and playing like crud in the meantime, not a surprise he's dropped.

    Bennell isn't fully fit. Not complicated.

    Again, Weide is rucking at lower level,  and Brown is a high half-forward,  not so much a contested mark against the big fellas.   Maybe a contested mark against midfielders.?

    So I think we are playing small,  because most opponents are playing small.

     

    I don't think,  I would play OMac this week if only Lynch and Riewoldt are the tall forwards for the Tigers.

    I reckon Smith can take Riewoldt,  and Lever can cover them off.

     

    The Tiges smalls again will need to be kept under a blanket.

    Spargo won't play.

    It will be Brown or Jackson in for possibly AVB.

    Goodwin spoke of continuity, so I can see us making just the one change and adding a little extra height to the side.  That's fine with me.

    We can whinge about Spargo coming in all we like (even though he won't play), but Jones and Jetta were both way out of form and Bennell could barely get through 50% of a game while avoiding as much contact as possible.  I know that's to be expected after so long out of the game, but they clearly want him to get some of that confidence back before they give him another dip at AFL level.

    Changes are fine by me as we're potentially adding in a tall player, which is what we need.

    But they played him round 1. When you take the field you are deemed fit.

    Don't give me that crock of [censored] bing.

    Even a half fit Bennell is better then someone like Spargo.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
