CHANGES: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn

Best case scenario is McDonald has a scratch on the cornea only. They heal up quickly so he may be available with some luck. Otherwise, bring Brown in.

And Jones for Melksham

 

TMac for Brown if injured. 

If Melksham goes it,  surely Hunt or Jones get first chance? He'd be the only change for me.

Maybe Lockhart for Rivers, but you can't fault Lockharts endeavour or effort.

    Maybe sparrow then. Kid looked great in JLT

    After a win, I'm inclined to go with the absolute minimum of changes.  So, as Nasher said:

    In: Brown

    Out:  Tom McDonald.

    With Chip, Frost and Sicily down there, I think Brown is the way to go with the bigger body.  While Jackson might be tempting, they would out body him all night.  Weid and Brown will at least be able to provide a regular contest.

    Other than that, we stick with the 21 who played tonight.

    Would love to play Jackson but not ready yet,

    I think Kossi anit really ready ether but we don't have a better small creative forward

    OUT: TMac (inj), Melksham

    IN: Brown, Jones

    Lockhart and Nev maybe lucky we won't want to change a winning team too much.

    Think Lockhart may  be rested/dropped. Jetta was underwhelming - nearing the end I fear. 

    Jetta looked slow & lost Rankine at two crucial stoppages. It was depressing cause we all love Nev.

    1. Um . . . it's relevant to the thread topic.
    2. Goodwin time and again has shown his ineptitude at the selection table.
    3. There is a reasonable chance it will happen.

    'Goodloss'?

    No offence, but you sound like a five year old saying that.

    Out: T. McDonald (injured), Melksham (should have happened after Carlton game)

    In: Smith (forward), Jones

    Why would you play Smith forward?

    Can someone please explain to me the fascination with this bloke?

    Jetta is cooked, but who would we bring in to replace him? Not sure I'd be bring back Rivers yet.

    Brayshaw might be under the gun. He is a huge worry and unfortunately he just plodded around tonight. Does a Sparrow or Tomlinson come in?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
