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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
