Selection is a joke. 

Jones is in better form than Melk amd he gets omitted. 

Well some things haven’t changed since last season with goody. Pathetic.

I tend to agree that Melk should’ve been the one making way.

I don't really understand the anti-Melk chat. Melk's upside is heaps better than Jones.

Rested. There's no need for him to mosey on down to Tasmania to beat the Roos by a lot.

I hope Jones is the medical sub

I don’t care about the optics, it was obvious we were shepherding Jones through, and any club who reckons they wouldn’t do the same are full of it.

Exactly and Jones bloody deserved to get there for the years of crap and his loyalty, from here he makes the perfect sub 

weak selection choices by goody, cant argue that Jones is out but bring in a small forward for him (chandler/bedford) or like for like swap him for Sparrow and brown for melkshambles

Yea Jones gives us more than Melky. 
 

Jones could be done on 300, I’d be surprised if he can make it back in with so few injuries.


Typo? Toby Bedford mentioned in preamble as emergency but Kade Chandler named on the team sheet. Either are worthy 23rd  ‘men’ given recent performances.

numeracy adjustment?

Brown had to come in therefore someone had to make way. May as well give Jones a rest.

I don’t like the optics, but Jones is closest to not being best 22 of the current side, very very closely followed by Melksham, who is surely one more poor game away from being replaced by a red hot Chandler

After 300 games, being managed and not having to fly to Tassie and being allowed to spend the time with pregnant wife and 2 kids does make sense, doesn’t it?

An in form Melksham is better at the role of medium forward than Jones. Neither are setting the world alight but to call it pathetic is projection.

Yeah I think he’d be less upset about having a rest than a lot of the posters here.

I don’t like that he’s been “omitted”. Just say “managed” and say he’s being nursed thru the season to make sure he’s right to go later in the season. 

I think Melksham gets the nod in the hope that he delivers well to Brown. His forward entries are first class, as long as he gets enough of it. 

 

Jones as medical sub to get to 301. Use the vets as a sub.

Will show leadership from the bench, more then any other player. If he comes on, could have a  better understanding of where the game is at and what role to play, than a less experienced player.

Get games into the less experienced, even at VFL level.

Stable team selections. Winning form, is good form, hard to be deselected.

A credit to fitness and biometrics staff, that we have minimal, injuries and player management. 

A few knocking on the door for a call up. 

Go Dees.

This, 

Jones can't hit the scoreboard and we have enough players to cover Jones' role.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
