Are we playing one short?

We’ve done that a few times over the journey. I remember a game were we played 18 short.

    Just seem this

    Dear Ticketholder,

    The AFL and the Melbourne Cricket Club has regretfully advised that due to the unfolding COVID-19 situation in Victoria, the Melbourne v Hawthorn match scheduled for Saturday 17 July at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) will take place, without fans in attendance.

    No change. Good call and a great position to be in at this stage of the season

    And based on the bulldogs game at an empty marvel stadium, we can get the tag as an empty -stadium specialist. Just like the Kangas used to be the Friday night specialists.

    I seriously think the Dogs game experience will stand us in good stead, understanding how to generate excitement within the team. hawks may struggle in this department.

    Is this the most "no change" we've had in a season?

    Gotta go close, and the least number of players used I suspect.

    Hawks have gone pretty tall, so i guess they're going to try making our big backs accountable, problem is it's 3 lesser known players who may not have the quality to prevent May, Lever and Petty from outmarking them

    Seems odd also based on the likely weather…

    I was shocked when I saw the in's. Salem, Rivers & Hunt are going to have a field day if we're switched on.

    You know how when we lose games someone will inevitably say "We lost it at selection"? There should be a Demonland rule that you can't post that unless you're prepared to say it on this thread (or its weekly equiavlent) first. 

    Same goes for taking credit after the match for supporting no change.

    (Lack of) change, as expected 

    Sparrow for medi-sub again?

    In the wet weather and potentially undesirable conditions this weekend, you would think that the Hawks would struggle, enormously, by going tall and that another ideal setting for young Sparrow is snubbed - he could assist us tremendously in ball movement as part of our mobile, scrounging and fleet-footed mid-size fitness brigade.

    expect dorks will try to rough us up a bit.....you can get away with a lot in bad weather footy

    It will not be subtle, it will be aggro/deliberated hurt; it will not be seen or penalised once by the umpires, as well. Wish AVB was playing for the Dees in these circumstances.

    And no Ceglar, meaning McEvoy has to ruck all day!  He could barely move in the last game he played. 

    No Hardwick, Jiath and Scrimshaw means their backline "talent" comes down to .....Frost!

    No VFL game might change the thinking about the medical sub. If the VFL were to be playing, I could see Sparrow being given game time there and one of the other emergencies being given the nod. But with no VFL, Sparrow moves back into the frame.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
