That’s a pretty ordinary post, friend.

Some insight into the team: Jones can’t be selected as he is still in melbourne, so he couldn’t meet the quarantine if needed, and he needs more game time before being picked. Melksham is in

Can we leave Joel Smith in Perth with a note 'Free to any home, otherwise throw out'

Looks to me like Vanders or Jordon for Viney, Weideman on standby for TMac.

Harmes named on the field just to troll everyone who made the laughable suggestion that he’d be dropped. 

Oh come on Nasher, it was hardly laughable to question whether he had a good game last week. Just because you disagree doesn't make it a ridiculous suggestion.

Meanwhile West Coast has made a big statement by dropping Xavier O'Neill and putting Waterman, Hutchings, Rotham and West on their extended bench...

But seriously, if Vardy plays (and I think there's a fair chance he will, to provide ruck support for Naitanui who will blow up after 15 minutes of trying to follow Gawn and Jackson around the ground), I hope we're into him from the first bounce. For whatever reason I cannot and won't forget him mocking Gawn after Ryan took mark of the year on his head in 2019.

Also means no Barrass, Ryan or Shuey for West Coast this week.

I know it was always going to happen, but I love that they stuck with Bowser.  Looked completely at home in his debut last weekend, and adds a valuable touch of class.

Wasn't that long ago you thought Harmes might come out for Melksham or vandenBerg mate...

Nah, I did actually laugh when I saw those suggestions and I did think it was ridiculous. His game was imperfect, and he’s an imperfect player, but there was a massive overreaction on here to one or two poor bits of play. He was never going to be dropped.

So? I never said I get it right all the time, in fact I most certainly don’t. I just thought this one was a pretty easy situation to read.

Alright mate, bit 'sharp' lately compared to the chill Nash we've always known, hope things are ok.

Will be interesting to see what happens with TMAC. I don't think he would have gone if they were worried about him playing.

According to Ben Gibson, T Mac hasn’t taken part in full training just yet over there but they’re confident he’ll be right.

I'd go Jordon for Viney and vandenBerg the sub. But it wouldn't be ridiculous to try Melksham in Viney's role, with a greater portion of time spent in the forward line.

Weideman the late call up if TMac doesn't make it.

J Smith named just to frustrate me.

No Hibberd named. I'm telling you titan, it's going to happen ??

Can the Monday teams be fiddled around with or are Shuey and Barrass certain non inclusions?

Shuey usually kills us.

Not if they're not named in the emergencies.

Pretty sure you could arrange a training mishap   and then put up another emergency, probably be a fine but they would not be stopped

no Hibberd is a little surprising... will be interesting to see how the defence structures up against a more agressive forward line than that which GCS served up last week.

Unfortunately I think he's finished. His past couple of games he's looked cooked.

Then what? They have to arrange another training mishap to get them into the side.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
