Or, at the very least, spend more time there.  Not a bad option if you ask me.

Hopefully to bring it to ground for Bedford, Kozzie, etc. His set shots are a worry.

Oh dear

Building ‘cohesion’ as the coach puts it. ?

I love most of the ins, but dropping Brown who has been our best marking target the last 2 weeks is a bit strange.

I think they picked Preuss to reall try and stretch the Oppo by having he and Gawn rotate deep.

Brown was horrible against the swans


How is Smith still in the team?!

We blew our chances against sydney so how many changes are irrelevent. Good to see some pace but why is ANB playing along with Smith. Why is lockhart still out ? Same with Bennell.

 

Love the changes this week, a real Hail Mary if ever there was one!!!

May fortune favor the brave and Preuss kick 5 goals playing out of the goal square!

Go you good things!

Melksham is a protected species it seems.

Goodwin's mate.


Absolutely love these changes but can't help thinking it may be a week to late. Still I have wanted to see some real pace in our side and finally it has been delivered. Now boy's don't let this opportunity slip, get out there and run them off their feet.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His intensity is a worry but he seems to be the only one who can hit a target in the fwd line

Clearly Max is going to play a lot of the game up forward. 

Or Preuss, he’s a much better kick and Max is a much better ruck (when he actually hits it to our blokes)

What’s the go with Dunkley? He’s not mentioned in the injury report or the scratch matches.

Bennell is really on the outer.

Why, we were lucky to get any games out him of this year,  they need to get him right for the long term.

Appears that way plus Smith must his fav also. Those 2 should have been dropped also along with Fritter and ANB very lucky. It is basically our last chance so just hope this team gets going and wins well and then see what happens against GWS

Still the worst forward line in the AFL. Re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe Max will kick a couple, although he'll need about six shots. Which might be what I'll need if we lose again.


The changes finally will bring some outside dash. I dont mind trialling the two rucks when we dont have another key forward nailing the second spot. At minimum it will remove the focus of double teaming Weid. Melksham surely on notice. I assume he will play midfield time with AVB to cover the loss of Brayshaw in particular.

Best of luck to Baker and Bedford who I think can give more of what we need with a clear go at it.

Teams announced on a Sunday night.

We are living in strange times.

Who even keeps track of what day it is?

 

Finally a team with a bit of run. No pressure lads, but there is no time to adjust or build form, just need to hit the ground running.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
