Out of the games Oscar has played in this year, only the Round 1 loss to the Eagles and the Port loss feature opposition scores that were above the average this year. Not sure he was solely to blame for that in those particular games either.

The other 3 games feature opposition scores below average, 2 of which we won.

The last person we need coming in is OMac. Particularly if its wet.

 

Will wait for the first bounce to see if Pendlebury plays.

A few weeks ago he was withdrawn during the warm up.  His replacement was dressed and ready to go so it wasn't a last minute tweak.  Wouldn't surprise if they don't repeat the stunt this week.

Yeah they may opt for just Lever and May given the conditions.

Intriguing selection night.

    He's a long way off being fully right to play. Injury is much worse than reported. Huge game for both clubs though so think that's why they're willing to risk it.

    Nothing against Pendlebury personally but if they want to play with fire I hope he breaks down, they play one down, lose the game and he is out for the season. 

    As I said, I'll believe it when I see him at the bounce.

    What are you thinking will be the changes @Lord Nev?

    Would only be guessing, especially given there's so many options, but given Preuss was emergency last week then he would be a chance to come in for sure. The conditions may change selection slightly too.

    Could be...

    OUT: Jackson, 2 out of Harmes, vB, Jones

    IN: Preuss, Lockhart, VIney

    Go Preussy you did thing. Massive game to come in for as well.

    And hopefully it is just a case of playing it safe with Gawn and he isn’t out for too long.

    Happy to have the big Preussian in. Just hope he plays his role, gives Grundy a hard time and then hope the other selections/inclusions allow us to retain the structure up forward. 

    Preuss - good decision, if Grundy plays as expected, they have 2 proper ruckman with Cameron.

    Oscar should come in and if Tomlinson can make some sort of contest in the ruck that will be a good outcome. Oscar's defence is heart in mouth stuff. He a lot more reliable conveyance this year. 

    Think you've nailed it AF. 

    Dont need Oscar, but Brown could be handy

    Unleash the Punky Preusster. I have no idea how this will go but should be interesting.

    Jones out. Tomlinson to the wing. Never to play in defence again

    Omac in. Plays deep, on Reid. The Omac bandwagon must have broke its axle with people jumping on and off so quickly.

    Tmac stays in for Jackson. Plays as a forward.

    Lockhart comes in

    Viney in.

    Maxy plays. But Preuess comes if i'm wrong.

    Two players get  dropped. Should be Harmes. Wont be. Should be Melksham. Won't be. A leader apparently. Could be AVB. Wont be. 

    Spargo and Rivers the unlucky ones.

     

    And thats been the problem with our selections for a while now. Goody plays favourites all right!


    Braydon Preuss, this is exactly what you were recruited for. 
    Go for it.

    Exactly. If he can't fill in for the next week or two at a passable level,  what use is he to the Club? 

    I'm glad we've gone with Preuss to replace Jackson.

    Put TMac in Jackson's role and see if he can at least give us the same level of contest that Jackson was.

    Meanwhile Preuss has to make sure he's not letting Grundy dictate the hit outs, and has to stay with him around the ground. Grundy's been off, badly, the last few games bu if he returns to form, he could easily be the difference.

    He'll be wantng to prove himself

    Hopefully he smashes a tired grundy

    I reckon they'll pull Grundy out and itll be Cameron V Pruess.

    they'd be naive to go in with too many sore/underdone players.  Grundy won't like the thought of a desperate Pruess finally getting a run after 12 months barrelling into him.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
