Chandler deserves a gig ahead of Bedford.

I don't see how either is close to being AFL standard. Aside from being too short and light, they both have the uncanny knack of being where the ball isn't at AFL level.

Bedford at least has some leg speed, but he rarely gets to use it unless we are dominating out of the middle.

    Sadly I agree.

    Tomlinson will come in for Petty. Dunstan in for Oliver. Rivers in for Bowey. 

    If Bedford is out, then not sure who comes in ... hopefully Hunt.

    I'm stunned Melksham gets a gig over Dunstan who was recruited for this exact scenario.

    Melksham, ffs.  Hasn't played for 3-4 weeks and was a training cone last time he played.  This is a bad call,  he clearly has pictures of Goody

    No, I believe it’s the other way around. Goody must have the biggest mancrush on Melksham.

    So who replaces Oliver? Harmes must be having some on ball time.

    I always look forward to your reaction when Melksy is picked. It’s a constant source of amusement. 🤣 Thanksies!

    The team selection on paper is baffling and I would be surprised if we lined up .like this. Max has never been a success as a Centre half forward. Again I think we are 1 tall forward short. On previous experience, Melk will play a defensive role on Allir. I hope Harmes isn't down back because we tried that for a season and it didn't work. Good to see Rivers back and I hope Tommo has a great game.

    Gawn also never used to be able to kick goals, now his kicking goals after the siren and kicking 5 in prelim finals. Things change.

    I think they have picked Melksham to try and improve connectivity with the forward line.

    Trac, Viney and Harmes/Sparrow/Kozzie combo in the middle, possibly Brayshaw.

    Melks delivery inside 50 is usually pretty good as long as we can get it into his hands.
    Got to admit I thought once he got to game 200 there wouldn’t be a 201 but needs must. Now would be the perfect time for him to surprise everyone on DL

    Out of the selected team it's either Weideman or Chandler up forward in place of Bedford.

    Dunstan for Oliver

    Not sure between Hunt or Rivers for Bowey

    Never thought I'd say it but I'd give Weid one more chance.

    Petracca's 3 goals last week covered up an incredibly bad forward line performance

    PS I just realised that that the Melksham selection was real..... Speechless

    What does this mean? Serious question. If your preceding sentences are anything to go by it must be disparaging. But what exactly does it mean?

    edit: I just googled it. There’s five minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
