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 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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
