    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.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
