    Hard to change. Keeping Vander's, Spargo and the Melkman was a stroke of genius!

    Gawn for Pruess if Max is fit. Harmes out and maybe give Jordan a run.

    Depends on Max. If he is right then Preuss out. I would drop Tomlinson as well and bring in Bennell.

    Preuss showed enough tonight for us to wait until Gawn is truly ready, there is no need to rush him back. Harmes and Jones are the two that worry me the most, Sparrow is doing a good job but had lesser impact and may be worth a rotation to blood Jordon or shift Harmes into the midfield and Rivers to the back half. Will ee who gets called out in the scratch that we also won well before I decide but would not surprised if we go unchanged.

    all comes down to whether max is crocked and how everyone pulled up

    as much as i'd love bennell back in, none of spargo, pickett, jones look like being dropped

    i'm going to presume it's simply max for preuss

    Give Max another week of rest, Preuss more than capable at the level. Tomlinson was ordinary but cant offer up much of a replacement. His flexibility to go back and take a tall forward has been great the last 3 weeks even in spite of his ball use. Unchanged for mine.

    Tomlinson for benell and tmac for maxy. Play both Max and preuss.

    In: Gawn

    Out: Preuss

    I’m not sure Bennell warrants selection again just yet. The only potential outs would be Tomlinson maybe Sparrow.

    TMac may not have dominated , but he is a competitor in the ruck and in the forward like, which suits our smaller fwds . I would bei nterested in how our coaching staff rate some of the "lesser lights "contributions tonight.

    Make a tough match-up for the Dogs. Rest the big men forward and Fritta goes to the wing. Won't happen.

    Bont and Daniel are the keys to the Dogs. Hold one or both and you're halfway to a win.

    HB appears reluctant to lay a tackle. I suspect tackle pressure is what the FD love about Spargo. Sparrow improving each week. A keeper.

    All played their roles.  It was Harmes best game

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
