Would suggest all of Fritsch, Jetta, Spargo and Melksham will all be discussed. Petty and Hunt possibly too, but they likely stay due to credits and need I reckon.

Hard to judge Weid's performance today. Horrible ball use forward of centre most of the time, none of Weid, TMac or Fritsch got much opportunity.

Might hold off until after the Casey game for ins.

    You might want to revist our lust because we dont have too many replacements.

    Besides Jake Melksham will always get picked.

    He was dropped last week. Didnt play in the seconds and hey presto hes back in.

    I would drop Sam w. 

    Hunt yes.

    Jetts  but i fear we lack depth.

    It's a list of who I think will be discussed, I didn't suggest all would be dropped.

    In agreement 

    Salem above anyone, we missed him a lot today, hurt our transition forward, shows how important he is for us.  Jetta, is only up to a lockdown role, not suitable for what the team needs.  Melks started well, I assume he got a kick up the backside after being dropped, but then drop off and was almost unsighted on tv at least for the rest of the game. 

    Weid is a hard one, today our mid's did not find the space(workmate) for good delivery over the game.

    The concern is the quick movement that we had to work against is the dog's game.  However plays next week this is a reminder to the expectation needed to stay in the team.

    Spargo played his role as usual and was one of the few to hit a target, absolutely no chance he gets dropped.

    Same goes for Petty and Hunt. If we had to reheat the ancient Jetta to find a 7th defender we aren't going to suddenly find 2 more in the next 6 days.

    Bit harsh on Weid who had some ok moments but he doesn't clunk marks and doesn't find any easy ball. Brown is a Docklands specialist.

    Sparrow should've been picked over Melksham for weeks. We can't carry a taller forward line and a forward/midfielder like Melksham who doesn't tackle and doesn't crack in.

    Fritsch and Spargo won't be in the conversation at all,  Petty and Hunt will also stay in.

    BROWN should never have been dropped in the first place, would he have missed that easy goal from 35 out that Weeds chocked on? Nar, Melksham should almost not be picked until he shows some intensity was woeful tonight!

    Hard to say who goes. The forward half pressure was suspect all night. Pressure on the ball carrier wasn’t great either.

    i felt the weight fell on too few shoulders and a few old habits crept back into our game.

    If BBB kicks 3+ goals, I think he comes in otherwise Salem in for Jetta if fit. 

    JJ needs a rest. Viney or if not fit then sparrow

    I think Brown has to come back in. The Weid to make way. He didn't take his chance.

    Fritsch deserves to be dropped. North was the last good game he played. Not impressed with him at all this evening especially after that non-goal when he should have passed to Trac.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
