    Jones was horrendous and must not be gifted a game next week. I dont care if its his 17th game or his 300th.

     

    In  -  Weideman, B Brown, Bedford

    Out  -  M Brown, Jones, ANB

    Angry again P2J?

    No ecstatic.  5-0.

    A few changes needed though as the Tigers have an extra 3 day break than us and will be fresh as a daisy.

    IN: BBrown, Weid

    OUT: MBrown, Jordon (stiff) 

    jones is only hanging on due to the media surrounding 300 -301 might be some time away

     

    Drop Jones? FMD. What better extra motivation for the boys to get over the line for Nate’s 300th?

    I would take out Jordon, M. Brown and ANB for BBB, The Weed and Bedford. Sparrow stays as sub.

    No way Jones is getting dropped for next week. After that ...

    I think he was playing the first 6 games this year regardless

    I actually agree. We can't carry him against the Tiges. Hold him over for the North game.

    Yeah good point. We need some fresh legs to come in, would actually justify his omission well, to save a bit of face and bring him back in a few weeks for a deserved milestone

    Jordon had a great game. Would be very stiff. 

    I have been a Demon supporter since 1959. I was nine years old then.I went to the footy as often as I could. I stopped going as often as I could after 1965: I mainly went with my brother and my son who were both Fitzroy supporters. I listened though, followed them, went to a few games in 1976 and when Barassi first came back. Then came the Northey and early Balme Resurrection and I listened to most games. Then the cruel last two years of Balme when injuries decimated us, then that weird but often great Daniher period, when I still listened. Which is a long winded way of saying I can't listen or watch live any more, not even in 2018. I watch the replays the nest day if we win. I do keep up with the stats though.  In the meantime, I was glad they didn't drop Jordon after an ordinary game last week and was thrilled when I saw he got a bit of the ball today: I felt really happy for him. In the meantime, I'll watch the highlights tonight, the full replay tomorrow and I will cast my 6,5,4,3,2,1 after that. Go Dees.

    OUT: Petty, M. Brown, Melksham
    IN: Jetta, Wiedeman, B. Brown

    McDonald to wing, with a defensive mindset if the Tigers get on top, but an attacking mindset if we're controlling the ball.

    In Tassie? For his 300th?

    Yeah. Fair point

    I worry he'll be exposed badly v the tiges

    AnB fought back really well in the second half. Did some nice things.

    Agreed. When a player redeems early mistakes within the same game as ANB did today, you don't drop them.

    Would like to think that one of May or Fritsch could be ready again - though the shorter turnaround doesn't help.

    You can't not put Weideman in, but Ben Brown was playing more up the ground apparently, so goals not everything. Hard to see us having Jackson, Tom Mac, Weideman and Ben Brown in the same team, especially as you'd have to drop a smaller forward to do so. But ...?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
