Hoping Viney and Harmes are right to play. Our depth is good, but Dunstan and Melksham are a step down and we need our best up and running to take on Freo. Freo are the best defensive side in the comp this year, so we’ll have our work cut out for us.

Goody said Harmes would be out 2-3 weeks.

Harmes was 2-3 apparently. Melk a lock for #200.

I thought Dunstan was pretty good defensively but sloppy with the ball.

Can’t speak for Werridee but I just assumed he was out given he was subbed off. If they mentioned once on the broadcast why Langdon went off, I certainly didn’t hear it.

Not sold on that mate.

7 touches, 1 tackle. Kicked a nice goal, but was invisible pretty much otherwise.

That was my impression?

They said it was ribs, but no elaboration as to the severity.

Some classic Melk marking contests that resulted in easy marks to North too.

Harmes out and doubts over Viney, Langdon. Hopefully they’re back.

None of Melk, Bedford or Dunstan impressed in any way.

Doubt Salem will be ready. 

Left field options would be Turner, Deak Smith, Rosman at half back with Gus to the wing. Baker on the wing. Or Andy Moniz-Wakefield.

Personally I’d really consider a look at Deakyn Smith down back and move Gus back to the wing.

Yeah I might be wrong with Langdon he may play. Surely Milkshake gets to 200 match winning goal. Thought he was better than Dunstan who is a butcher.

I agree with the bold bit. He doesn’t anticipate where the teammate will be when his disposal arrives. Consequently his handballs end up behind his teammate. Elementary mistake.

No thanks Smith doesn't get enough of the ball yet.

Haven't seen any of the game yet because of work but the afl app lists McDonald as 'out' implying a game ending injury. Is that correct and if so anyone know what injury?

Guessing - But looked like he possibly sprained his ankle twice. Not 100% sure if the same leg, or even if he just twinged the  existing injury the  second time. Reckon he'll be right to go, played out the game.

He was ok just strapped and got on with it. Same with Petty who looked really sore but played the game out.


Dunstan out for Viney. We don’t need Dunstan if Viney is right to go as even if Langdon is out Dunstan gives us nothing on the wing.

Out. Dunstan  

In. Viney

?? Langdon.  We need more run. Consider Baker to bring in 

3/ 

?? Melksham?? Probably stays in to get 200 as Harmes unlikely to be fit and available 

 

And … Salem hopefully back soon - probably for Swans game

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
