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.

    We all love Nev but have to accept that’s he’s getting near the end.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
