    Genuine pisstake if Melksham comes straight into the senior side.

    Surely he got the "thanks for your service now" tap after his 200 games. VFL and that's it.

    Melkshem fit to play but I'd be surprised if he's selected in the seniors.

    Yeah this sounds like it's been ripped from goody's presser earlier today where he said that melksham had overcome the hand infection.

    Probably 6 other players that are in better form.

    I’m craving a different side this week. I don’t mean in’s and out but mainly a different look. I’d love Trac more up forward and Gus in the middle. Something different, he’ll be hungry in there. Rotate him and Trac or Trac and Viney. Change it up through out the game. Doesn’t always have to be the same. We literally kick out towards the left side of the ground from a kick in. Mix it up. We are becoming if not have become so damn predictable. We’ve lost our run from the backline. Our goals last year where mainly from the run and carry from the backline. This year we mark it on our defensive 50 and stop… the Oppo have time to man up then we lose that privilege of being in control and it now becomes a 50/50 contest 

    Richmond of late will chip around their defensive half then boom they’re off.

    That's how i'm seeing things as well.

    Add to that...

    Too many other issues to list

    So Stu … in you first scenario Mitch Brown survives? Seriously?

    I agree that against the Pies he was invisible. He performed better against the Swans (4 marks and a goal assist) and was better than the other Brown. But the main reason I think he'll be included (as we now have confirmation that Daw is injured) is that the FD don't like to change the structure (2 talls, Fritsch, and 3 small pressure forwards). They could include JVR and I'd personally be excited to see that, but I just doubt they'll do that at this stage of the year.

    They have often spoke about trying to be calm across the entire FD and we haven't seen reactive team changes for a long time. Goodwin constantly talks about belief in the 'system' - for this reason I can't see him changing the forward structure and/or bringing in a first year player with less than 10 VFL games under his belt. 

    Apologies to Werridee in advance!...

    If Melksham is selected ahead of Bedford I'd have serious questions.

    I am now in tears weed for Gawn!  Don’t be surprised if it is milkshake for M Brown.

    Interesting there seems to be more activity on other threads than this one. Have we accepted that we have run out of reserves and our fate? Interesting the bookies still have us as favourites. I have little idea why.

    I reckon the previous 15 pages of this thread has exhausted all possible ( and many unlikely) permutations od.

    For mine, the certainties are May and Weid in for Turner and Gawn.

    I will  now wait with keen interest, to see what the selectors come up with.

    That tweet is terrible news for people who like punctuation. Great news for us getting some unnecessary free kicks on Thursday.

    You haven't made my day with those selections Bbo however I guess there is no one else. The next few weeks will seal the position of the weed one way or the other and we will see if Jackson is more that a good number two

    I actually have a sneaking suspicion that Weid will play his best game for us if he comes in.

    He seems to be a confidence player and to a certain extent he gets a free hit in the ruck as the expectations aren't high on him in the way it is when he's forward.

    He impacts a few contests early and then takes a mark and goals when he goes forward and we'll see a different player.🤞

    Well if he plays fwd that is not likely to happen but if he plays ruck/fwd like he often does for Casey he may be serviceable.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
