Drawing a blank, being a Monday game do they announce the extended squads tonight or tomorrow?

They'll name extended squards tonight with full team to be announced Saturday afternoon

    Thinking Turner will be named on the extended bench.

    Any chance we can do a Geelong this week and beat a mid range team with multiple best 22 players out in addition to losing a gun defender mid game, without its defensive structure falling to pieces, and produce a character building win?

    Yes they'll want to give Petty maximum time to recover

    Bloody oath. 

    We should be winning this game based on desire, talent, system and purely that we are further advanced than them

    Great sides who have won premierships over the years have always been able to win games with key players out. The last two weeks have been understandable because of who we've played. 

    But seriously, if we don't win on Monday I will be genuinely disappointed and slightly concerned about our second half to the year. 

    We also owe these flogs who caused a huge upset against us last year. And they were missing a handful of their top 10 players and still beat us. 

    It sometimes comes down to big club vs small club mentality. 

    We better respond. Especially after the week in the media we've had. I expect a galvanised group who are committed to the cause for four quarters. And I expect to win.

    I think he has a future but no way he is ready for QB 

    From my observation he has been useful in 3-4 games and good in one but that was North who are very poor. I seriously doubt he will be promoted any time soon.

    Its mind games. he will play. 

    Not really any point, they will name him anyway and if he plays we'll have prepared for him.

    I'm picturing Viney sitting in a cage, gnawing his teeth right now

    I pity the Collingwood players that come anywhere near him on QB

    UNLEASH JACK!

    Jack's impact has improved, too. If ever there was a Demon capable and willing to create havoc with the Filth, it would be Jack. I wonder who his key targets will be?

    with a 8 day break I think Petty will play but definately need Hibberd as Petty is liable to go off for long periods.  That's what happened in the 2nd quarter when we were a tall/bulky player short.

    now that it looks like Miocheck is out and Elliott is in.  Hibbo is a must.

    Elliot is too strong and too good one on one for hunt i reckon.

    Hibbo would be the match up for Elliot - can match him for strength and is excellent one on one.

    I'd go Hiiberd in, and plays on Elliot. And Hunt goes to Ginnivan.

    Mihocek is a very good player and underestimated by many.  He's no Kingsley.

    Mihocek = McDonald 

    Vastly underrated player

    Those who rate Mihocek and those who don't can all agree with this comparison. Those who rate him can assume he's like Tom and those that don't can think he's like Oscar.

    Personally, I think he's a very good player and would be even better if he had some good tall forwards around him.

    Hunt shouldn't play give the job to Rivers or Salem.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
