So the powers that be maybe have decided that Melkshams ongoing lack of tackle is analagous to playing a deep full forward and having a three headed monster in Tmac, LJ and BBB. 

Wow that's a tall forward line - not quite WCE tall but still v. tall.  Granted BBB plays more as a leading forward. 

Excited to see how this affects the balance.

    Hopefully there are zero rakes in the forward 50 or this could be trouble!

    Weather forecast turning sour. Rain and strong winds possible Sunday afternoon.  Having 3 talls could backfire on us. North will relish it. Havent Sportsbet heard of Bass Strait and Tasmanian weather.

    I bet alot of money is going on North this week. Poor weather and sympathetic umps might keep them in the game.

    So much for sunny and 22.

    Should have moved the game to Marvel.

    TBH the main reason I'm glad he's playing for us is that he isn't playing for North.

    Sometimes, in my darkest moments, I get flashbacks to North surging forward with Brown one out with OMac in the goal square.

    We can finally watch us play that mob without the crippling and entirely rational fear that he's going to kick 10 goals on us.

    From the forecast I just read, medium chance of showers (0-1mm) and 15/20km winds. Not too bad I would’ve thought.

    You need to fight against your MFCSS Siam. A changing weather forecast is not going to derail.

    And in case you hadn't noticed, North are terrible.

    As per other posts, weather is looking Ok on 3 forecast sites including BOM.

    20 degrees , slight chance of a shower, cloudy with some sun,, winds 15-20 km/hr in the morning but lightening winds  in afternoon.

    I'd be confident that there is hardly any money being bet on North this week.

    If at  the  G or Marvel i wouldnt waste 10 cents on North.

    But its down inTassie. North always lift against us. First quarter should be telling either way. Fine weather and we will win.

    Well done BBB - who makes way??

    Purely a guess: I suspect Chandler won't be the sub two weeks running, so Chandler out and Jones as the sub as a way of managing him.

    I reckon Norf won't even score over 40 this week. It will be around a 100 point victory this week no one wants to give up there spot.

    Hoping its a bend over no lube type operation.

    BOM forecast - It is OK - Forget all other sites info.

    Yep...North are terrible alright but so are Melb against North in Tassie.

    The line is 57.5 points or something ridiculous if anyone was taking North it would be that not H2H

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
