Out: T.Mac, Jones (rested), AVB/Melksham (omitting captains seems to work wonders)

Gawn and Viney are automatic inclusions.

I'd say Jones and Tom Mac are the ones to make way.  I feel as though Sparrow is the future and deserves to hold his spot.

They love Lockhart, but would they drop Rivers to bring him straight back in?

It's a nice problem to have.

Would say Melksham over Hannan but wont happen. I am willing to have a good look at the three talls when LJ moves like he does IF we play two true smalls in Pickett and Spargo.

I’d give Gawn another weeks rest. Grundy is enormous but not at hitting it to his mids ...Treloar out & be surprised if they risk Pendlebury. Gawn is pretty sore & Collingwood are pretty beat  up & will be coming off a 4 day break !

Is it at the gabba or carrara?

Either way can’t see them going with the three talls plus Gawn

IN: Viney, Gawn 

OUT: Jones, T Mac

Lockhart had a big bandage on his knee but who knows whether he’ll be right; a lot to like about Rivers

Tmac is quite stiff. Thought he did quite well in his return.

This is a tough selection this week. It’s a good problem to have though.

No 'big red'...no more look at.

We've proven it doesn't work and I sure hope Goody doesn't try to be nice and keep Tommy in the team.

Our best, most effective 22 has Weid and Jackson forward with Max in the ruck.

Tommy was serviceable tonight but from here on I see him only as depth.

If Max is right to go Tommy goes out.

Viney comes in probably at the expense of Jones...

Omac has to come back in.

If Tomlinson stays in, it cannot be as defender. He is clueless down there. The first three goals were all on him.

Losing Daw and gifting him a goal, free kick to Larkey and then out marked by Larkey

Had to be moved of Larkey, a  22 year old in his 21st game, 10 minutes into the first quarter and one of lever or may was then forced to play deep on him for the rest of the game.

That's tow games in arow he has been embarrassed by a kid.

Just imagine the vitriol that would have rained down on Omac if that had been him.

Hannan? Gee wiz what game were you watching? Took some good contested marks and really got us going his pressure was up. He stays without out doubt.

I do wonder whether we need to rest Jacko at some stage. He's played 2 games in a row off 4 day break (doesn't seem to affect him) and eventually he'll need a breather.

Did McDonald do enough tonight?

The Pies don't run tall in their forward half and rely a lot on the quicks and mids.

That's not Oscars go...so a no from me.

Just like Omac got embarrassed by a kid and got dropped for it. We all saw it and Goodwin did too.

Tomlinson was good tonight with his run and dash and creates an extra option with his hard running and work ethic. He stays in.

Omac is just slow. Who does he match up next week Bin? Serious question?

Spargo?? Are you serious? He had 7 score involvements and barely wasted the ball.

Did some actually watched tonights game?

Lever potentially has a hand injury of some kind. Second hand info, but apparently was hoding it behind his back post-match and not shaking hands, high-fiving etc. Fingers crossed it's nothing.

OUT: vandenBerg, Harmes, Jones, (TMac if Gawn plays)
 
IN: Viney, Lockhart, Bennell, (Gawn if fit)
 
vandenBerg with 11 disposals - 4 turnovers, 6 clangers. Must be dropped.

The obvious ins if available are Gawn and Viney. I'd like to see Bennel back commiting his body.

Our worst three today were Tomlinson, Harmes and the Melkman.

I agree. Team high 7 tackles, coaches love that.  I'm not so sure he gets dropped next week.

He did look a little sore at times though but otherwise I think he was more than serviceable .

Definitely not dropping T'mac on tonights stats (13 disposals, 7 tackles, 3 marks and a goal). You can't drop a man with those numbers. however the three tall forward did not work against port so i'm scratching my head as to what to do. if he does go, i think that would be very stiff. 

which therefore means,

out: Harmes, Tomlinson

How can you drop Hannan? He was great especially early. Lockhart will have to bide his time. Harmes is playing a different role need to give him more time. We are no good with 3 talls stick with Gawn, Dogga and Weid.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
