Out -  May, Melksham. Jetta

In -  Petty, Bedford, Hibberd

 

Sparrow, Jordon, Jones, Spargo could easily be dropped too.

Edited by Pickett2Jackson

May is potential out so maybe hibbo or petty in for him

otherwise keep the team as is

    How did Brown go yesterday?

    Otherwise Petty for May seems likely.

    May would have to be very doubtful under concussion protocols.

    I also wonder whether they reckon this game is when BBB gets a run

    It's a winning team so -     Interesting times!

    Hey mate, we won and we’re 4-0. It’s not a dream, I know it’s hard to believe. There’s no way there was 6 droppable players.

    Out: May

    Spargo was great. A 200IQ footballer.

    Broken eye socket, Uncle Bitters. He’s definitely gone for a few weeks.

    Think we may go small next week -

    Out: May, Jordon
    In: Hibberd, Sparrow (as a starter)

    Doubt Melk gets dropped but understand the calls for him to go

    Sparrow only played 17% less game time than Jordon, somehow.

    Out - may jordon 

    In - petty brown 

    jordon a bit stiff after a solid first 3 games but was barely sighted today, if brown isn’t ready then jordon stays, melksham seemed to attend a fair few centre bounces which pushed jordon out.

     

    tmac to play as the lead up chf which suits him and brown and fritsch to play deeper.

    Jackson floating between ruck and forward and Gawn to float behind the ball and help out the backline with Mays absence

    Yes, what happened to Jordon today? Unsighted, but he only played 56% game time. Injured?

    I'm sure some people just look at the stats sheet when this thread comes each week.

    The pressure that the likes of Spargo, Jordon, Sparrow, etc put on the oppostion is the difference between last year and this year.

    Why would you change that? Continuity is a good thing.

    Out: May, Jetta, Jordan (rest)

    In: Petty, Brown, Hibberd

    Sparrow stays sub.

    "Melksham to Brown...?!" sounds like the cry of an overwrought commentator. Sweet. 

    May and Nev out. Petty and Hibbo in.

    May out 
    sideshow in

    move Tmac back.

     

    Melksham buh-bye. In: Sparrow

    May (if inj) out - Petty in.

    Jordon looked a tad quiet - if tired maybe rotate him out for Chandler?

    Spargo's not going anywhere, he's been fantastic this year.

    Absolutely a brainy player. Sets up opportunities and tackles like a  trojan. I expect him to play all year. Beautiful foil for kossie.

    They used Jordon on a wing against Blicavs after Gus went down back, but ended up preferring Jones and then had a full midfield rotation with Sparrow.

    Melksham wasn’t good but I still think until Brown or Weid come in we need a proper forward more than extra mids.

    I think it will be 2 out of 3 of Melk, Sparrow and Jordon with the 3rd the sub.

    Petty or Hibberd depending on conditions and opponents to replace May. 

     

    Doubt this will happen but would like Melky out, Sparrow in.

    May to be replaced by Petty or Hibbo depending on matchups.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
