Colvin, Magee and petrevski to make way for 

Gay, Lampard n sherriff 

 

Covid paranoia will make the changes for next week. And why would you drop Fitzsimons ?

Fitzsimons has earned another run IMO. Got to reward that.

Feels like the 'protocols' five are walk-up starts though.

Petrevski, Magee and Parry in the mix to miss. Anyone remotely in need of a refresh should get that, though unlikely at this early stage.

Depth is the key this season - early season game time could prove vital for some of the lesser lights to jump in later...but how far can this be pushed without sacrificing team synergy and the form of the big guns?

Agree with the additions but Fitzsimon and Petrevski unlucky to miss out. Very strong squad this year.  

Checked out the training gallery, thinking I might get some insight into whether any of last week's five have served their Covid protocol time already. But no, only players from last week's team included.

However, great to see Purcell up and running. A month away by my count, fingers crossed for no setbacks.

She's unlucky but who would be the 5 you would drop for those 5 regulars.

 

Injury update - Mick gives the timeline of last round's Covid impact. Gay, Lampard and Sherriff were all ruled out just 24 hours before the game, so a great effort to adjust quickly. As we all understand with Covid, seems like some feeling the effects more/longer than others.

The 3 in would be Gay, Heath and Scott. Out would probably be Brown, Petrevski and McGee.

Excellent ins. Unfortunate for Lily. 

Parry needs to raise her game. Contributed little thus far

The saints have dropped Greisner. She was the reason we lost to them 2 years ago so good for us she isn't playing. That said she was very off the pace against the pies last week.

Aside from Mithen it’s a strong line up we will put out. 
The two ex Demons playing for the Saints - Cat Phillips and Bianca Jakobsson - are going to have their hands full. 
It should be a regulation win for Melbourne over an undermanned Saints outfit

Then off to Adelaide to play the undefeated Crows. That’ll be big


Madi Gay must have a decent cold ? It is a pity she is not back in.

Besides Mithen and Gay it's a full strength side should win this game comfortably.

  • 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.
