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.

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.

IN:  B. Brown, Salem, Sparrow
Out: Weid, Jetta, Melksham

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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
