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

Who were the 4 'guns' on the bench?

    So Vanders in for Harmes, who has an ear infection, according to one of the MFC instagram pages.

    I wouldn’t call either slow - maybe not express but hardly slow

    I guess a lot of Demonlanders are going to be happy seeing vandenBerg in the team.

    Disappointing IMO for Sparrow that he's missed out on a midfield spot, but let's see how vandenBerg goes.

    OUT: Harmes (EAR INFECTION)
    IN: Aaron vandenBerg 

     

    Curious how AVB will go, if Nate was fit, wonder who would have gotten in

    AVB is going to be useful if the Hawks go the bash, as expected. Aaron will have an opportunity, despite the possibly poor weather conditions, to be a presence and a pillar of strength. He does contribute to making us a better team and has recently been playing really well after recovery. Best wishes for a good game, Aaron.

    Given their injuries, anything less than a 60 point win should be considered a failure tomorrow.

    vandenBerg would be handy in a final against Geelong if they try their usual physical stuff. This is getting some miles into his fragile legs in preparation for a full-tilt run at a flag.

    Don't hate it, although it does nothing to improve our conversion rate up forward.

    Maybe Harmes had the ear infection as early as last week?

    His entire game was summed up in his first 'possession' I reckon. Tried to pick it up around his bootlaces, missed it, kicked it by accident (almost out on the full), fell over.

    Has carried it for a few weeks now. 'Ear infection' is underselling it, he's needing an operation but is hoping to put it off til post-season.

    That’s quite an infection

    Would have been a good opportunity to give Bowey or Bedford a game.

    Yeah, watched the vfl game on Kayo.

    Didn't think AVB was outstanding but was pretty physical as usual.

    Maybe the wet weather swung it his way. Feel for Sparrow.

    Bowey is getting better every game and Bedford will be a great player for us too at some point.

    Jones didn't play, so maybe that's why he's not coming in.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
