I like it. Added some speed and tackling pressure to balance out the additional tall. Melks can't really have any complaints. He's been serviceable but nothing more.

    How's Bowey (inj?) and Sparrow emergencies?

    I like it a lot.  Chandler gets his chance as a small pressure forward.  Needed IMO with the inclusion of Weid in our forward half.

    Message that needed to be sent unfortunately, Chandler will bring the tackling missed from Melksham

    It has been a standard that when picked in the ones you get 3-4 weeks in. Melk couldnt hold his spot but had 4 chances. Weid has now a few chances to show he can hold his spot. But the axe is kept sharp after 4 weeks.

    No more favours, team picked on form.  That’s what the best teams do. Love it!

    That's the problem with the reserves playing a day before. Baker obviously held over as emergency and guessing Melksham to be the sub. Could be vice versa though. Probably would've been smart to have Sparrow play half a game so he isn't completely cooked if called upon. Club must be confident they only need one emergency for a late change if required which indicates the selected 22 are healthy and ready to go. 

    I suspect tomorrow we will see Bowey replaced on the emergency list by another player at Casey, all formalities as they won't play save for some unforeseen circumstance.

    Good to see Melksham held accountable for some average efforts. 

    feel more confident about our mix up forward now

    Melksham out and Chandler in is a good move. About bloody time.

    I thought Melksham had one more chance as we were winning but no good pick on form which is always a good thing hope Chandler and Weid take it with both hands.

    Chandler needed for that particular reason - plus his upside is extended to being a tuff nut with attitude and poise.

    What do we see as a Weid pass mark? 2 goals, some assists and tackles?

      No, close but not spot on. The pass mark will be:

    • tackles
    • lotsa assists
    • two goals minimum
    • taking defenders out of the hot zone on fruitless picnics to the advantage of his teammates before goal.

    I hope the kid can get a few weeks to settle. But we will see when Viney has to fit back in and what they want to do with the Weed.

    Melksham was down and like Fritsch - if he can’t find the footy and affect the game - he has to impact defensively and he hasn’t been. I don’t have this hatred toward him tho that some supporters hold.

    I just want to see Weid hitting the ball at full steam with a couple of huge pack-crunching contests.

    He has the ability and has the form. Now I just hope he strings together a half a season that leads us deep into September

    If Fritsch and Melk are both down, they are liabilities. Fritsch will want to pull his finger out

  • Quote

    Gee wiz if all three talls find form and Fritsch keeps going, it suddenly looks like an incredibly potent forward line. 

    Got a feeling with all the focus on the talls Kozzie might be the one to kick a bag this week

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
