In: Brown, Harmes

Out: Weid, Sparrow 

 

Brown for Weid unless Jacko is injured?

Melksham continues another week in his small tall role.

No idea what to do with Harmes and Brayshaw and whether JJ, Rivers or Hunt go out. Wait and see on Hibbo too.

 


Depending on concussion protocol timing; Harmes might not be able to play next week.

OUT: Weid

IN: Brown

 

IN: BBB
OUT: Weid

Harmes to sub, fighting it out with Sparrow over the same spot for the rest of the year

Melksham is building well

Brayshaw to stay in the guts

 

 

In van Royen or Ben Brown

out never to be seen again Weideman 

 

Thought I read that Brown may be out for a few weeks?

Was Jackson injured at the end?   Someone said he was seeing the doctor.  IF so maybe a reprieve for Weed - if not depends on BBB.  Even if BBB is still out surely we consider JVR.


Weed done for the year you'd think

In: Roo!!!!

What about this one. No change.

Hard to leave anyone out after a great team effort, but sadly there is one exception. Apart from his goal, you would hardly have known Sam Weideman was playing. Big Ben has not set the world on fire this season but he does at least have some presence up front. Jackson injury a bit mysterious. I couldn't spot him during the team song. Harmes for Sparrow or ANB?

Edited by Dee-monic

Nibbler is badly out of form - has slowed down and getting caught too often. I think he needs a break. Weed must go surely - again zero physicality.


Sadly Weid is the one that goes out 

I reckon he played a role but not enough to stay in unfortunately 

ANB was poor but I would be surprised if he will be dropped.

Weed for anyone would be fine, such a shame he could not take his opportunities.

 

 

 

 

If Brown isn’t fit I would debut JVR. He can’t possibly give us less than Weideman. 
 

I have always supported Weideman and wanted to see him succeed, but the lack of effort tonight was unacceptable. Fine if you can’t take a mark, not fine if you stand and watch teammates trying to win the ball. Really disappointing. Needs to go. 
 

 

I wouldn’t rush Harmes in. Brayshaw’s time in the middle was heaps more impactful than Harmes’ usually is.

I noticed Jackson was taken down to the rooms after a head knock which they reviewed on the monitor. I also noticed I could not find him in the team song. If concussed mandatory 10-day break means he misses next week.


In: BBB

Out: Weid

Tonight was the most balanced we've looked all year.  Only player harmes should come in for is Sparrow.

Bit premature with Casey yet to play but I'd go with

Out: Weid, AnB

In: BBB, Harmes

Melksham playing a decent game in the wet but don't think he's best 22 come finals. If we revert to a 2x KPF foreward line set-up I think he makes way and we bring in JvR.

Sad to say Sam looked lost at times - sure one very good contested mark and goal.  IMO if BBB not ready JVR could not do less - he looks a fierce competitor.

Those who say Sparrow should go - thought he was very fierce a the ball and at the opponent.  IF Harmes is really ready maybe ANB is more vulnerable.  Seems to get caught more often recently.

WTF? Sparrow was in many Demonlanders votes tonight. His harassment, tackling etc tonight was magnificent.

Assuming Harmes needs another week and BB is fit?

Out:  Weid, ANB

In:  BBB, Chandler

If BB isn't fit...

In:  JVR, Chandler

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
