    That looks about right. 
     

    My only wonder is whether Melksham is the right sub over Jones, Jetta or Sparrow.

    It's a hard one for sure. Melksham can give great delivery with his kicking and can kick 1-2 cheap goals if he's in the right spot. Sparrow is a bull and has an awesome inside game which is great if jordon, oliver or viney were to get injured mid game. My order would be milkshake, sparrow, jones and jetta.

    Might be time to think of another topic to post about @WERRIDEE. 

    These threads are getting seriously boring. 

     

     

    No need to read it Jimmy.

    Werridee- nailed it again. 
     

    Just to clarify though… is Marty Hore also ruled out for the year as well ?

    10 to 12 weeks it said on the injury report.

    The best team is the team that is selected every week. I have complete faith in who we put out on the park. I don't have agendas against certain players like some here do and back the team.   They deserve it, they have proven over the last 11 games

    This weekend could well be the tie-breaker to decide this. I think I’m biased because I really like Sam and I think seeing him develop in front of our eyes makes me want it more for him. Sam needs to find a way to create goals when he isn’t even playing well, that seems to be what Brown is able to do. 

    I really hope Sam fires through 3+ goals and takes a bunch of contested marks. This has to be his time to take the role by the scruff.

    I think at present Bbb is a better player but its line ball. Since sw is young, then long term sw is the one we want playing.

    Thanks. I just read that about Hore. 

    Make no difference to our playing sticks in 2021.

    Hard to justify even if comes back earl y August say and very difficult to place in our defence Petty better defender Marty not great on smalls IMO and is interceptor 3rd or 4th in line.  
     

    Hope Marty does/can come back late in year and get 2/3 Casey games snd Finals there.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
