I’m surprised about Jetta and a little disappointed. But overall it was always going to be hard to replace our best forward and our best defender.

    Happy to see Mitch brown in - in the last two games last year he took 20 marks

    hopefully he clunks them tomorrow too!!

    Me too but I’m happy to see both petty and hibberd in.

    Petty officially back, well deserved.  Getting ahead but if he can impress the next couple of weeks it will make selection interesting upon Mays return.

    Thought Jetta had been pretty good, not fantastic but still really solid. Don’t particularly  like 3 changes to a team who has been so settled. I suppose 2 are forced though.

    No chance.

    He's cooked, he can't move. They're not dropping him after going 4-0 if they're confident on his return to form.

    'Dropped' due to injury. Didn't train today, clearly named as emergency in case he's right in time and is needed.

    We must continously fit players into the team, not let them wilt on the vine because we hesitate with team selection out of little more that conservatism. We are to go places, instead; real depth, not perceive depth, is critical to that aim. Give the talent games, and thus keep game-day performances at a level of competitive excellence. Pay for footballers should not be a series of sinecures.

    Good ins, it shows our depth is impressive 

    Happy with the 'ins' as well. Also happy to see Daw as an emergency - he could be really useful and unsettling for the Hawks.

    Good selections, Hibbs has experience and needs to cement his place, reads the ball very well and will back up Lever for getting to the ball drop.

    Petty for his contested marking ability. Has been in the system for a while, and could work well under General Lever. 

    Mitch Brown to give us a leading target, hoping for 2 to 4 goals.

    Majak must have been close as he is the emergency.  

    Our balance still looks good. The depth we have is fine.

    Go Dees.

    Getting to the stage where you'd have to think that players like Lockhart and even Joel Smith are ahead of him - with players like Bowey waiting in the wings.

    I still don't like our forward line. Fritsch, Weed and BBB out is a massive blow. We have got by with 2 out but 3 might be pushing it.

    Lockhart, Hibberd and Bowey maybe - Joel Smith will probably never play seniors again

    I believe Jetta may not be 100%. His family has been sick so he may be a little unwell. 
    Either way, I hope to see him back in the side soon.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
