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.

    Out Melky and Lockhart Tmac

    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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
