    That's how I saw it.  Following on from an outstanding win, why would we change the lineup?

    Smith has been solid, but I thought they may have brought Pig back to sit on Cameron.

    That was the only change I thought they’d make too but also happy with no change….

    Very surprised about Hibberd, who will play on Cameron?

    Smith. And if Cameron starts to fire then they can move May onto him and switch with Smith.

    Beg to differ LO.  Smith frees up Lever to do what he does best.  Fingers crossed that with Lever intercepting, the ball doesn't get down to Cameron to do too much damage.

    You have to feel for Hibberd and Jordon, both of whom have been mainstays of our best 22 this year but now find themselves on the outer.

    Well done to Smith and Sparrow for standing up at the right time to get their spots.

    Would love for Jones to be the sub but you'd expect Jordon is the more likely option.

    Feel for JJ. Has been good all year. Deserves to play ahead of Sparrow IMHO.

    Smith definately has the athletic capacity to go with Cameron. But not the defensive nous of Hibberd . I'll back in the coaches they have been good at selection this year after 2 horror years where I think we lost some games on Thursday night.

    I think it is a toss up between Nathan Jones (the sentimental favourite) or Michael Hibberd as the medical substitutes for the Demons against the Lions.

    Mark my words....this will be a tough and hard game! The Lions should not be underestimated. In another news article the Lions said they have become "hardened" after recent finals losses. This game will be no easy task for the Demons!

    If Mitch Robinson goes berserk against us and starts belting our players then we need to get Nathan Jones onto the ground as the medical substitute to deal with him. Two tough old bulls going head-to-head! Nathan Jones will also be fired up to prove a point with this being only his 3rd chance to play finals.

    Another concern is Charlie Cameron who is a brilliant forward pocket player who reminds me a lot of our very own Jeff "The Wizard" Farmer. We need to keep a close tag on him. This is where I think Michael Hibberd may be a good option as the medical substitute too.

    Anyway, I am sure the MFC coaching staff are currently having these debates about who should be the medical substitute against the Lions.

      The Demons head to the Red Centre to face St Kilda in Alice Springs, aiming for a third straight win to keep their push for a Top 8 spot alive. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
