We need Majak there and only there to give a bigger body and target

    Delighted to see BB back in. Let's hope we can find him on the lead. If we can he'll convert.

    The best thing Brown will do is take one of Jonas or Alir to free up Tmac and Fritta.

    If Brown doesn't kick a goal, can we finally give Majak a chance as a genuine full forward?

    No.

    ...We've Ben waiting a while for a genuine goalscorer!

    Make it rain, Benny!!

    Of course, this will require better i50 delivery, which will also result in Fritter, TMac etc. being more effective.

    How is the inclusion for Melbourne. LML.

    I just can’t get over how every time a team welcomes back a gun player from long term injury it’s against us. Every. Single. Time.

    Inclusions are good, but it could be said that there is not a great deal of change - more 'same old, same old' in reality. The inspiration might well have come from the emergencies, the medi-sub and some positional realignments between backs and forwards who, down there, are relatively new to that confined environment. 

    Brown should lead his opponent down the brellow-yick road as often as possible and some young smart Rs Demon should rush in nearby to whence he came, and Fritta, TMac and Gawn/Jackson should offer leads, as well. They all need the goal-kicking practice, anyway.

    I want you Demons to freak out, all game, at 100kph with a mongrel attitude and presence. Hear?

    B. Brown coming in this week compared to last week makes literally no sense from a form perspective.

    Goodwin says because of the 5 day break he was on limited minutes, so that means by Saturday evening, after the GWS loss, he had decided Brown would play the following week and hence gave him limited minutes. 
     

    Sounds like Goodwin has made the decision based off how [censored] our forward line was on Saturday afternoon. He’s then pulled the trigger, and not even considered how well Brown’s latest VFL game went.

    So, why exactly didn’t he pick him for the Giants?

    Forward setup looks better. I wonder if we will be smart or skillful enough to use it properly?

    Very happy with this selection, feel sorry for Sparrow but head down and bum up Tom you will get further opportunities. We have been calling out for this change, so BBB don’t make asses of us.

    Go Dees .!!!!!!!!!

    Straightforward, top question, isn't it?

    People expecting loads of changes are kidding themselves. We are still 12-3. We are still second. You don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. We made a big structural change with Brown. That’s enough.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
