    Yes strong team.

    Unavailable: Daw retired.  Injured- Tmcd Dsmith Rosman BBB

    I think Hunt will be sub this week. Bedford needs the run to find some form again.

    Hopefully all the emergencies (including the sub - depending on use) get back in time for this game. Otherwise they'll miss 2 weeks of footy, with the bye the week after. I'd be guessing we'll be taking at least the 4 emergencies.

    I don't think anyone will be flying back from Perth for the Casey game.

    The first Virgin flight leaves Perth at 6:00 am arriving 11.35.

    Casey starts at 1.05 pm at Casey.

    So even if things went clockwork..too tight. Peter Hudson not there so no helicopter.!!!

    There is a Jetstar flight leaving at 1:40 am, but I doubt if they would use that ?

    I’m looking at the Casey team and it shows we probably need to identify a young ruck, key forward and another quality mid/onballer in the draft period.
    Depending on the Jackson situation, if he goes then we’d need to grab a mature bodied ruck/key forward.

    I thought there was a suggestion that J.Smith was going to play forward . Another breakdown from playing defence whether it be via Casey or Demons he will end up getting de listed.

    JVR could be one of the “flying” emergencies this week (??) 

    You could be right. It would have to be him or M Brown as the emergency forward

    Wonder if Dunstall will travel as the emergency mid?

    His position going forward is the relief forward/back so that makes sense

    Would've thought he was a bit old and wrong position as well. 🤔

    Plus he has a contract with fox footy

    What sort of draft picks would we need to give Fox Footy, to get the deal done?

    Hopefully he has a good game - expectations should be modest as he’s missed a lot of footy but a few goals and getting through unscathed would be a real positive

    Would probably arrive by Tuesday morning.

    Sadly I think Joel would be only one more long term injury (wherever he plays) from being delisted. 🤕

    No at a night with Lever & May at the Sporting Globe Bar. Good night and you get an insight into their personalities and what makes them tick as well as some goss.

    To be honest, I'd be satisfied if he just gets through the game unscathed with or without any goals. If anyone on our list deserves some luck go his way, it's him.

    VFL | Five changes to face Bullants (melbournefc.com.au)

    Just 3 changes to my possible team. Josh.Smith replaces Bell in the ruck and Quigley has got the nod over Grey and Baldi comes in to replace the promoted Hunt.

    Can't see that team taking the field as four of them are in Perth as emergencies

    They will come home early for the game surely?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
