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A few weeks ago he was withdrawn during the warm up.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.

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

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

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.

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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
