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.

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

Weideman ahead of Brown for mine.

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
