They probably would @Lord Nev - they know that Goodwin has favourites, what would I know? ?

Anyway, context matters.

    AVB keeps his spot. But Bennell gets dropped after one game. And then doesn't get a recall after a 4 goal reserves hitout. fmd.

    No second tall forward again.

    I'm not convinced that's the right call. I seriously hope Sunday shows me that this can work.

    Its my only minor problem with selection. I do think we need that extra tall in the side to complement T Mac. 

    Otherwise the side is fine. We can moan about no Bennell all we like, but it ain't changing much.

    Ahh, well, we've all lived it for 40 years (give or take 20, depending on where you are at). I love the tease this team gives. Just the pure [censored] tease of it all.

    Nothing more nihilistic than being a Melbourne supporter.

    As Badly Drawn Boy once sang. "The joy is not the same without the pain".

    When I saw who they brought into the squad I had a feeling no change was possible. I think they’re trying to settle on a team to give them confidence.

    But I still am really unconvinced about our structure going forward, especially the way that we play. Are we now playing Petracca forward? Wasn’t a big thing about this year going to be seeing Petracca given more time in the middle?

    I think our forward line is too small/medium, maybe it needs time to click, but I’m running out of patience.

    Melksham is very lucky. I am a fan but his half efforts this year have been disgusting

    I think the wet might suit us now more than in the past for Petracca, Viney and a smaller forward line or Kozi. As long as we exhibit 'learnings' and tap it on. I'm more afraid of a dry WA like deck and letting the opposition showcase their rebounding keepings off skill

    How long has it been since we have gone unchanged?  I’m not sure I can remember when we last did.

    No goals coming up again. We don’t have mids to kick goals. A midget forward line all out of from and a key forward who hasn’t fired a shot since the Carlton match last year

    100% with you. My personal choice would have been to drop Melks, put Fritta/Hannan is his role and have Brown at FF.

    These unchanged selections give me a bit more confidence of a win plus the Tigers outs are a help. More so if it is going to be wet. AVB and Bennell bring very different skill sets to the team. AVB 's aggression and bash and crash at the contest will be more help against the Tigers than a delicate outside runner that can only play half a game. Both are good enough and against other teams this selection may go the other way. It took AVB a couple of games after a long injury break to hit his straps but he was soon amongst our best.

    I think we're all just weary of Bennell getting the Garlett treatment. In and out all year because of fitness or defensive issues, but still kicking 1-2 goals a game and setting up a few others. If the season starts slipping away, then we might look back on r5-7 as a block of games we needed someone like him in. If he comes in later in round 8 or so, has a big impact but we're so far back that it's just an exercise in preparing for 2021, well what a waste.

    Hoping it's only weather related and he's in next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
