Baker was in the best players against the Swans apparently.

I reckon he'll be high up on the list to replace +lingers

Lockhart to

mind the smalls possibly He was 20 plus disposals and in our best.

    TBH, I don't recall seeing much of Lingers all game.  I'm wondering if something happened very early in the game, to the extent he just wasn't right pretty much all game, and not able to offer his usual high level of participation & dash, and they finally pulled him off near the end??

    He went down earlier in the game (maybe the second), so it might have started then and it wasn't picked up.

    Whoever the replacement is, they'll be most likely lining up on Mitch Robinson. That makes me think T-Mac isn't such a terrible idea. Otherwise Gus will have to take that wing and others take Brayshaw's role. Robinson would give Baker a bath.

    I see Lockhart as more of a HBer 58 but you could be right.

    That makes sense.  He just didn't feature much in the game at all, making me wonder if something was wrong with him...

    Mitch was huge for them in yesterday's game.  Would it be a silly idea to put Harmes on to him?  He's a tough nut and is probably about our best match up on Robinson...

    Just on that game. I watched most of it and thought the players to impress in order were Sparrow, Lockhart, Jones then Chandler then Baker. Rosman looks good as a developing player and does some things that you would think can translate to AFL level but I'm pretty sure he won't be called on this year.

    Sparrow deserves a game and I think Lockhart may have passed Nev in the pecking order but he still does some risky things and under extreme heat may be a bit dodgy against a Charlie Cameron so I don't think they'll throw him into the furnace yet, but I would like to see him get a go at some stage and the Salem to the wing is quite a good idea (but dodgy groins and an uninspiring game against the dogs ) may rule that out too. Baker is almost the opposite of Gus in that he hasn't developed his defensive game much at all. You can see he just wants to kick a goal. I'm not convinced with Baker. Chandler is probably third in line behind Sparrow and Jones. 

    I think Jones is probably the best choice against a seasoned hard-nosed side like the Lions.

    Jones doesn’t chase, and against a high-scoring team like Brisbane we need EVERY player to be capable of pressuring when we don’t have the ball.

    I don't think we can afford to have 2 seniors in the team (Jones and Melksham) as they cant play out a full game so 'yung Sparra' for me.

    Saw Robinson star yesterday and yes he would be a long bow for Bakes to take on.

    Maybe Angus tags him if he is on the wing but Harmes elsewhere is not bad unless he gets say McCluggage.

    Other wing could be Salem or Rivers and Lockhart to mind smalls ie Mathieson 

    But structurally Msybe ANB is the best runner and Baker the most deserved I guess if not the most prudent choice.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
