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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
