Blimey. Melksham instead of Bedford

    I love that Ben Brown gets his 150 against his old team. 

    Will be so nice to watch him kick more goals than their entire side. 

    Happy with Melksham as the in, Dunstan a bit stiff.

    Don’t really understand why we’d go with the Melk unless it’s to nurse him to 200

    I guess they think that forward pressure might not be so necessary v Norf. 🤨  Orv maybe he has been served an ultimatum.

    When I told Mrs DOF of Melky’s inclusion, which will bring him one game closer to his 200, she responded “that’s great, it matters!  It’s a further  endorsement of the outstanding culture we now have at the Melbourne Football Club”.  
    I’m not going to argue with my lovely wife on that one!

    A few of us thought this a possibility.

    Wonder if Dunstan was fit

    PS I see Dunstan is named as an emergency so he must be right to go

    You've genuinely got to be [censored] kidding me right?

    We pick a bloke off the back of not playing last week being an emergency, over guys like Bedford who had the perfect opportunity to play consisten game time at AFL level. Even if it was Bailey Laurie to get a taste of AFL action.

    But no, we select a guy that's going to be 31 this year and we'll past his best at AFL level.

    Genuine [censored] selection and it's been obvious that Goody has been trying desperately hard to get his Essendon mate a game this past few weeks.

    Opportunity missed.

    Agree

    I think he's there to "improve" the forward delivery and kick 2 odd goals.

    Will he? No idea

    I reckon it’s a certainty bin, given that he has been a ‘poster boy’ for our new indigenous guernsey.

    I am surprised you argue with her on anything. Even when you win you lose.

    *sigh*, am sucking it up and trusting the footy dept. I can only think they are looking for better inside 50 connection, which he can do, but his lack of defensive pressure drives me spare.

    Not a huge fan of the inclusion of Melksham, but Goodwin has been consistent in trying to get people to important milestones. The difficulty I have with the selection of Melksham is that it is not like for like. Harmes is great old fashioned footballer - a whole lot more skilful than many give him credit for, he runs all day, is a very good mark and kick, runs both ways, and can tag/stop if the team needs it.

    Melksham is a creative half forward with a wide awareness and a beautiful kick, but hasn't got the grunt of Harmes.

    I've had worse.

    Melksham should be the absolute last resort of selection. The point of being selected when we have multiple injuries. He's well past it at nearly 31 years of age and not in the club's future plans.

    He shouldn't be in the team robbing games off Bedford who actually deserve to be rewarded for his consistency of form in the VFL but also the perfect opportunity to see what he has to offer at AFL level with a string of games while Harmes is off injured.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
