I am not so confident.

We are weak up forward and will need Trac and Max to help there.

We also have 2 slow players at the end of their careers, in a game that is now speed based. Hopefully Bowey and Laurie come on to  fix that.

I am however really excited for my boy JJ and hope this is the start of a long career with us. I am also keen to see my other project player  HP return to the side. I think he is much better than most think.

Go Dees. I will be there with my 4 year old grandson, who shares a first name with HP, at his first real footy match and am excited for him to hopefully see a Dees win.

I never said I was confident. On paper this team should win. However I will never trust them to do what they should do.

    Keeping up with the Joneses.

    Its a given Nathan Jones will  acquit himself in a superior fashion to the last Jones to 'grace' the 'G' too many blues.

    Kade Chandler named sub!

    Spargo getting a game on his last weeks terrible performance, says a lot about our options and lack of improvement. Meanwhile Chandler and Bowey miss out

    Shocking selections

    Has Spargo suddenly become a footballer.

    How the hell does spargo get a game, the bloke is lucky to even kick further than 30m

    Correct. More than a big question mark over Jetta as well. We have about 6 players in the side that really are not up to afl standard. Our forward line is a joke. I would pefer to see Hore, Zanker and scott acroos hf than those three. Lets hope McDonald can prove me wrong. Jackson is not ready for FF in any way even on a part time basis. He should do a lot of rucking, especially in second half as that sems to be his strength. Fritch is going to have to play well.

    Jones , Jetta, Tomlinson, Spargo, ANB and TMAC. Give me a break.

    When Spargo is in you have to worry about losing he's a burden to the team.

    His kicks over 35m you can count on one hand.

    He's honestly terrible. I'm sure he's a great bloke but oscar mcdonald would offer more in the forward pocket

    I would play Daw  anyday " I find your lack of faith disturbing" in fact I would have played Majak instead of Spargo easily!

     

     

    Spargo played very well.

    Yes he did. So did Tomlinson. In these circumstances quite happy to be wrong.

      I have already commented on his game which I thought was constructive and contributative. If he keeps doing that then I'll eat my words, however IN MY VIEW  I think he needs to kick 2 goals a game and have more scoring involvements and possesions to continue to justify his place. With players coming back the competetion for places will be enormous. I still would have played Chandler but, as I have said he did play well.

    Looking at the last full season in 2019, Charlie Cameron was the only small forward to average 2 or more goals per game.

    Michael Walters averaged less - is he a dud too?

    You have no idea what you're talking about.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
