Is there a rule that says the players listed in the published positions on the field must be part of the final squad?   In other words can say Oliver be left out of the final squad and 5 of the so called interchange are then included instead of 4.

i think teams playing on sunday who are forced to nominate a team on thursday have a bit more leeway for changes

our team tonight would have more stringent conditions

Jack Viney is a huge loss. His form has been fantastic and complements Trac and Clarrie perfectly. It will be interesting to see how they adjust.

He is better than that and his Form at Casey has been solid if unspectacular. Sometimes players who can play do not shine in lower levels. I expect Dunstan to be very solid and link up well taking Vin

Bedford ran and went in really hard last week. He should come in if needed.

He's been quiet in all the VFL games he's played this year.

It's a joke that he's even under consideration.

Melksham had a pretty good game actually. These were his numbers (thanks KC):

  • Jake Melksham: 1 behind 12 kicks 9 handballs 21 disposals 8 marks 4 tackles 80 dream team points

They are pretty good numbers, and the coaching staff would be rapt with 4 tackles as the defensive stuff is his big weakness. 

For comparison purposes here are Dunstan's numbers:

  • Luke Dunstan 1 goal 11 kicks 10 handballs 21 disposals 3 marks 3 tackles 81 dream team points

I only really watched the first quarter (and bits an pieces of other qs) and thought he played really well in that quarter. He was our leading possession winner at the end of it, with 8 possessions, his intensity was pretty good, he was very team orientated, and his skills in super windy conditions were sublime. he looked a class above VFL level. 

It's why i predicted, accurately as it turns out, he would be on the extended interchange list this week - though i very much doubt he will be selected.

The fact he has been selected on on the extended interchange list this week should be read as affirmation by Goody that he is well and truly on the right track. I think there is a pretty good chance, if he keeps on that track, he'll get call up to the seniors at some point.

We need a vote from all Demonlanders on whether we should auction or go to private sale for the Weridee Mansion!

Proceeds to Demonland to spend on new servers, then acquire a venue for Demonland social club, that can be loaned to MFC!

TMac obviously picked to play Pickett fast running elusive forward flank role, can just see him zipping in and under picking up all Weids  crumbs, and kicking 8!

Can we hold of coz I now can put four Green Townhouses on it., Wait... no I got enough money to plonk a Red Hotel on it straight away and charge anyone who lands on it TOP DOLLAR. Just one question Werridee, what color street should I designate your house on the DEMONOPOLY BOARD?? I can reveal that Uncle Bitter thinks his Manor the Equivalent of Mayfair, but I remain just a tad skeptical! I am Uh also interested in selling a Magnificent parcel of land right on Casey Feilds. In fact it is the same spot behind the fence that I do my training reports from. It would be designated as Old Kent Rd on the DEEMONOPOLY board but I'll take an offer!?

Maybe he is playing a defined role that he will replicate in the seniors?

Brown should they wont

No he shouldn’t. He is an established senior player who was a performer in a premiership 6 games ago. I don’t know why you are so obtuse and naive with Brown.

Correct so the inters will be Harmes, Jacko, Sparrow and JJ with DUNSTAN to be medi sub!

If the 18 selected are locks for a game and if Dunstan is in as iterated then this bench plus Sub is viable, although I would have thought that Kossy who was brilliant last week stays, Jacko is a given, J.J Played a blinder game before last and Sparrow solid. I now think that if Dunstan is in Sparrow might revert to super medi Sub!

BBB plays. I have a reliable source.

And so he should. He is an incredibly talented player who North lost their minds and let go.

He has also added contested marking to his game and no longer needs to always lead into space to mark. 

Last year we saw him come close to what made him top the H and A goal scoring 3 years in a row in a bottom team.

I also think he will get better and we may get another six years out of him and perhaps with our great midfield he will win a Coleman in the not too distant future.

7 pages in, different starting 18 on the AFL website and MFC website, and we won't really know till 5PM.

Much as all basketball matches should start at 90 all and 2 minutes to go, I'm starting to think selections threads should start on the day the real team is released with only hours to go.

Having watched those VFL games he's played he's cooked mate.

Fumbles, got caught with the ball at times and lazy with his defensive ability. 

The likes of Chandler, Bedford, Laurie are ahead of him in terms of forms from the VFL games I've seen.

If Dunstan is playing another player is out of the side the bloke said he is playing he will be in the 22 I doubt he will be the sub as most subs don’t play like Bedford who has played 1 out of 5

Agree Bedford is ahead of him, as evidenced by the fact he is the go to medi sub.

But you'd have to think he is ahead of Laurie and Chandler as evidenced by the fact he was in the emergencies two weeks ago and will also be an emergency this week.

As far as I recall neither Laurie or Chandler have been emergencies.

No way goody names him on the extended bench this week if he has been playing as badly as you make out.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
