Featured Replies

Out: M Brown, N.Jones 

IN: B Brown Weid 

 

Weid to play CHF up the ground. TMac on the wing for the release mark. BB for the leading forward from the square 

 

Although i reckon were a chance against the Tiger save Jones 300 for the Roos. (that's how to sell it to him that he misses next week)

 

Also need to make room for Bedford he was great. Too good for VFL. Not sure who's spot he takes though

Jonesy hasn’t made it easy for selectors unfortunately. However, there is no way he will be dropped imo.

    Unfair on Bedford and Chandler who have been great all preseason and dominated for Casey today.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    OUT

    Petty - good 2nd half after an atrocious 1st

    M. Brown - Unlucky, tried but didn't influence the game til the last quarter

    Sparrow - Melksham drops to the sub

    IN

    May for Petty

    Fritsch for M. Brown

    Weid for Melksham

    B. Brown unlucky miss.


    Weid and Bedford played well. Thought BBB needs another VFL run

    No way Melksham gets dropped, even when he's at his best he's been like that - kind of invisible but then by the end of the match he's managed 2 or 3 goals and had a hand in a few others. A couple of those kicks across the body to find targets were sublime.

    If Fritsch and May are ready, they both have to come in. Jones would be the obvious out but not happening, at least for this week.

    Surely Tom Brown is mistaken - just said Fristch & May available for next week?

    I get it, and as I said, it’s a pity Jones didn’t make it an easy decision. He’s been serviceable so far this year, but today was absolutely sub standard. But I still don’t think they will drop him.

    Do we think jones would get dropped for his 300th that would be a ruthless call

    It was a 50 point win, so as few changes as possible.

    Weid for M Brown

    May for Petty

    Fritsch for Melksham.

    These 3 are only out of the side because of injury so should come straight back in.

    If Fit: May for Petty and Fritch for Melksham.

     

    It's a good problem to have.

    This is a real conundrum !

    Jones has been a wonderful servant of the club and deserves the honour of 300 games. I love the guy.

    However, he was ordinary today and exposed for pace in both leg speed and disposal. If we were playing Norf next week there is no question he would retain his spot ....................... but against the best performed team of the last several years ??????????????

    Anyone thinking Melksham should be dropped is clearly not considering his 9 score involvements, not to mention 3 goals.

    Thats role playing perfectly

    Good so we can stop the nonsense now. Goodwin has said Jones will play next week so lets celebrate it.

    This week

    Weed in

    Brown out 

    Next week -sideshow Bob in for Melky and dependent on recovery - May for Petty. when Fritta ready probably Jones makes way. At some point JJ and sparrow may get rested -although this can get done by medical sub now.

    We have to play Jones as it is a landmark we havent had except for Neiter.

    But 2 of Spargs, Jordon and AnB need to be considered for a rest.That is if May and Fritsch are available. Hib showed his worth immediately but the Melk will be there for 3 more weeks unfortunately.   We have shown that we always give players a group of 3 or 4 games when back in the team, but BBB needs a red carpet for his 1st block of games, he is only going to get better. The Weid just hasnt strung a few games together so if we brought him back, we are committing to 4 games for him. Id like him to prove his spot by another bag in the VFL. Brereton said that if we were a really hungry team we should be ready to chop players more readily.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
