That is the most utterly disgusting team we have picked all year. The ins include slow wet wags, I like the way they drop Lockhart and don't bring in someone to play on Butler. What is going to be. Tomlinson ?????? St Kilda would be wetting themselves looking at that side.

Hibbo will get Butler

Two guys that can play.

O Mac's form this year has been ok and Wagner is capable enough and will provide pleanty of effort.

Hope you’re right but this team looks very slow to me...

I just cannot fathom why Lockhart has been dropped. 

Is there something more to that?

Absolutely flabbergasted, and that’s got nothing to do with my views on OMac and Wagner either.

Don't mind this side at all.

All the players that we've bought in are goers and more than capable of playing the roles required of them.

The only real disappointment for me is that Jayden Hunt didn't get a go.  I recon he deserves another crack and is capable of kicking goals.

Agree totally.  Looking forward to seeing Wagner in the side again.

We bemoan Goody for not making changes, then are gobsmacked when he brings in 6. We are a fickle bunch!

Hasn’t exactly brought in 6 that will improve the side though, has he?

That's the one that annoys me the most.

The others I can some value in, especially with Oscar as the Saints like to go quite tall down forward, but Lockhart has been consistently good for the last month.  

It's a very strange decision to say the least.

Exactly.

Needs to explain why he didn't select Dusty, Gaff and Kelly.

Don’t think the number of changes is the problem and nobody seems to be upset about TMac or Harmes being dropped. They have been [censored] all year. 
I am just confused by some of the changes against a fast team, after we got burnt by a fast team 6 days ago. That’s all.

Initial reaction: Jesus, we've hit the panic button.

Calming down a bit: not so bad. Managing sore players might be a factor.

Fritsch stiff - he wasn't great last week, but he still took 10 marks - Brown won't give us that. Lockhart also stiff, but I think Rivers is an upgrade.

Harmes and TMac well and truly deserve to be dropped, and Sparrow and Preuss were never going to be playing.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
