    Wonder if they'll pull a surprise selection? Dropping Hibberd for May instead of Joel Smith?

    Hibberd dropped

    No j agree. Just know the club rate Smith enormously and would be finding ways to fit him in.

    You were right. Hibbo out. Smith still in. 
    I’m confused.

    I don’t know how Sparrow is in ahead of JJ. Unless JJ is sore he is just a better player.

    The committee is clearly intent on getting game time into sparrow…

    very strange team to say the least with Jordon and to a lesser extent melksham out.

    Playing Viney and Sparrow in the same team is a very strange move

    I disagree with Smith holding his spot over Hibberd and Sparrow holding his spot over Jordon.

    But, neither is an egregiously bad decision.

    If Port wins, I truly hope Smith proves me wrong.

    Smith was excellent last week until cramps got him. He offers more flexibility and speed on the game than Hibbo but lacks the footy smarts. Can see why you would want him against Rohan.

    Thought Hibbo would be the natural choice to play on Rohan. He could have a field day if he gets hold of Smith

    So do we go:

    May - Hawkins
    Petty - Cameron
    Smith - Rohan

    ?

    Smith might be worth a try on Cameron.

    His athleticism would give him a show of keeping up on the lead and in the air.

    Surprised we didn't bring in Daw ahead of McDonald based on these changes

    Looks better than Hibbo on Rohan. He’s get carved up for pace

    I reckon Jezza would get him for height and reach though, prefer Petty.

    I still think I would have preferred Hibberd over Smith, but I don't absolutely hate the matchup of Smith on Rohan (I may eat my words there though).

    Yeah can't say I agree with the team selections to be honest. Hope we are not playing with fire.

    Really thought Jordon would be still in and Sparrow out. Though Sparrow did have 7 tackles.

    Problem is also the imbalanced of the midfield. Dropping Jordon takes away outside spread where as now we are just too one dimensional with Viney back in.

    Backing Goody with this one but [censored] I'm extra nervous now.

    I thought Smith did well last week but didn't think he'd hold his spot. Big show of faith from the selection committee. Hibbo on the outer for finals i reckon

    Fantastic to have 3 leaders back.

    the team looks excellent with a great mix of youth and experience and some good pace.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
