Was always going to be hard to drop anyone after such a dominating  PF performance and no injuries of note. Hunt will be disappointed but he’s had too much time off recuperating for the biggest game in decades. Smith is still just too fragile for consistent appearances.

Consistent selection policy all season. Good to see.

Jordon the medi sub?

........ and very hard to change a team that won a Prelim by 83 points at its last outing.  GO DEES!

As has been the case all season.

 

Would like Hunt in the team as a late change or med sub.

Yes, announced one hour before the game


Sparrow v Jordan has been an interesting one all year. Very much like for like.

I think Sparrow is more a goal scorer and gives more physicality than Jordan

Feel sorry for Hunt but happy for Hibberd.

Smith not even named emergency. Jordon or Hunt as the medi sub? I'm going with Jordon, Hunt has been out for too long.

Think Hunt as a sub give me more comfort 

Fast, and swingman potential 


No surprise but i'd make Hunt the Medi sub,he can play forward/back,never been a Jordan fan,he butchers it too much and the pressure will be off the charts

 

Happy Hibbo retained,he'll tag Smith.

My heart breaks for Hunt. Plays 20 games, does his ankle, gets back up and misses the grand final. Very tough. I suppose he might still be the sub but time will tell. I think they’ll go with a mid as a sub so JJ it is.

Absolutely, he has worked his backside off to become a regular again. He’s our hard luck story, every GF side has one.

Really seems like the whole squad is invested in this and despite his bad luck, Hunty would be stoked to have been a part of the year and the 20 odd games that got us here.

Hope it drives him and he continues on again for 2022

Am I right in saying Matty Whelan missed our 2000 grand final as a late withdrawal? As you say every year there’s a hard luck story, this is why the calls for a squad wide recognition is absolutely fair. He contributed strongly to us getting to this point even if he won’t take the park on the day. 

Well done to all, fingers crossed Spargy and May are completely good to go. Am I right in saying it was Kade Chandler that did the tackle last Saturday? Cheeky him being on the bench.

Melbourne has played 6 finals during Hunt’s career. He has played none, despite playing 26 of a possible 44 games during those finals years. 
 

I would be very frustrated if I were him.

Love his speed and all things equal hell yes,..... but seven weeks out is too big a risk and i reckon the reason why.

Nathan Jones as well in terms of sad omissions and while not a fan ....Melksham has played quite a few but not there at the end. Smith a shocking run of injuries may have made it.

So difficult with so many good recent wins, and about 26 players who are GF ready. I would probably go Hunt for the medical sub because he can help out on any line - forward, midfield or back. But the selection committee mantra has been to follow a line of form and fitness so fully understand the no change.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
