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: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
