Emergencies are Bedford, Sparrow, Weideman and J Smith (i.e. Sparrow, last week's medi-sub, is "out").

Dogs have gone tall, bringing in Schache to play alongside Bruce and Ugle-Hagan (and Naughton, of course).

Dogs going all of Naughton, Bruce, Ugle-Hagen and Shache.

Looks potent on paper, if the latter 2 snags some goals along with Naughton and Bruce.

Interesting call given it is likely to be a wet night

Going to be wet


Dogs clearly want 1 on 1 in our backline to stop lever intercepting, expect shache to try and play a negating roll on lever

English too.

I wonder whether this is a ruck issue - they don't want to be too small when Bruce is in the ruck giving English a rest, so they want to ensure that at any time they have Naughton, Ugle-Hagan and one of Bruce/Schache forward to keep May and Lever honest.

And our weakness down back is covering mid size and small forwards

More fool them. Lever prefers summer rolls

Interesting calls all around. 
Don’t know that Vanders did much wrong and Harmes is in luke warm form at best. But he’s more attacking which we need as I think Viney makes us too defensive. 
 


Schache lol.

Vanders didn’t do a lot wrong, but he is way to slow. And his disposal isn’t great. Harmes is an upgrade. Reckon that’s all.

Happy to see Harmes back, but disappointed to lose AVB

Was far from our worst last weekend.

Weather is wet and windy, the nemesis of a tall forward line... bad call by Bevo i reckon unless he thinks we are playing under the closed roof of Marvel Stadium.

Trying to stretch May, Lever & Petty. Could backfire if wet.

It is the blueprint to beat us, so not surprised at all. Just have to ensure that the midfield brings an extra level of defensive intensity and sustains it for 4 quarters.

Obviously!

Fixed.

Also Mitch Hannan comes back.

Advantage us.

 

Bevo still having nightmares of may and Lever obviously. 

Hilarious selections.

Shache in screams late out. Although Jamarra is good at ground level.

This his to be the reason, Bevo is out of his mind if he thinks that could work on a wet MCG

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
