I agree. Can't find a place for Lockhart nor Bennell who could have added the X factor.  Why was he given a contract if they don't want to play him?

As if we need x factor.

Well I don't want us to get smashed. But another week of mind melting selections. Not really so much as who comes in. More from a perspective about decisions in the last two games. Brown in

Dropping Preuss and Bedford is the right call. Replacing Preuss with Brown rather than TMac is justifiable but questionable. Have to query where TMac is at. Replacing Bedford with Spargo is

Doubt it Loges. I've done that a few times and it never kept me out of an AFL side.

Presumably Jetta does. Smith might get a job on one of their three tall forwards: Finlayson, Cameron and Himmelberg. Although Tomlinson might get the third tall instead.

Smith cannot play footy 

Even Goodwin must know that by now what a joke!

I think Im the last one on this site who still thinks Smith can play an important role. He  just had to stop jumping over the top of May and Lever...and then spilling the mark. Personally Im glad they're giving him more games. Come for me on Sunday if he's awful .

There forward line will smash us in the air. And when it hits the ground Green will beat us. Not confident. Im sure Goodwin is throwing darts at selection. He has no idea who our best 22 are

yep

they will take marks at will in the forward line

So we bought Hibberd back to early for the Dockers game, just like we did Jones for the Swans game.

We keep rolling out old injured players burt we cant find a spot for Bennell?

 

BENNELLS little toe has more skill than Spargos entire football ability!

I like the side .

Good balance of Pace and Size.

The form of the club as a whole is atrocious so I'm not going to single out players who deserved to be dropped but weren't.

The club has its back to the wall and nothing to lose so in true Melbourne style I'm predicting an annoyingly hope-building win.

How this team has not won a flag by now is just ridiculous! Talk about compromised recruitment - Look at their Ins and Outs: how many top end draft picks in that lot?

Hope we smash them.

Unfortunately their selected side is probably the strongest 22 they have had in for some time and here I was thinking 9 changes meant they were dragging in untried kids but no we have 5 or so experienced players coming back! A big ask now.

FUGGIN BASKET CASE OF A CLUB!! FUURG OF GOODWIN DEEESGRACE!!

Down to the bottle shop picket and buy a decent Barossa Shiraz   - sip it , don't slurp it

Forget Footy  , listen to your [censored] music - Your blood pressure will improve.

( Free advice from Uncle Bitter)

PS Make that two bottles

I won't come for you if Smith is awful.  I know that he is awful  why can't you see it.   IMO they will play him no matter what now and possibly been told he is playing the last 2 games for his career.

The ins don't exactly fill me with confidence. Thought we had better options in  Bennell, Lockhart and T.Mac. Interesting game no one is in form. Even if we do make the 8 or GWS make the 8 we are all just making up the numbers anyway. How many chances does Spargo get? Why do they love him?

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
