Surely Goodwin is not that foolish? In the eyes of so many supporters and members, he'd lose his job.

    Pittonet kills Max as a rule.

    Here's another fixturing quirk.

    We haven't played Carlton since Round 9 last year.

    Since we last played Carlton, we've played the Bulldogs 5 times.

    100%

    Harmes should now come straight in for either Sparrow or Jordan.  Run with on Cripps.

    A bit of a whisper Pickett has a knee niggle and might be in some doubt. Hopefully he is at training this morning, I'm sure we will have some eyes there.

    Makes sense with the knee strapping last week.

    I don't think so.  They've played against each other twice in real games.  Round 2 2020 - Gawn 2 Brownlow votes, 21 disposals, 34 hitouts v Pittonet 14 disposals 23 hitouts.  Next game was the last time we played them - Round 9 2021 - Gawn 15 disposals, 44 hitouts v Pittonet 9 disposals, 23 hitouts and a goal.

    Chandler on standby surely?

    If we stick by the mantra that players do not play their first ever game as the sub, there are only two legit choices for the sub this week. Of course, if an emergency does get a call-up, that could change. For example, if Pickett doesn't get up (see above, re a suggestion of a knee issue), perhaps Laurie will get to play his first game.

    The fact that Harmes can't get a gig after a loss says a bit about his importance to the team. (or lack thereof).

    Meh, that's like saying the club doctor could lose their license if they allow the medi-sub to come on from a faked injury!

    Conversely, that would mean you consider Melksham an important player then yes?

    Possibly! Wouldn't be a bad one to start in.

    Yes, he's playing an important role and doing it well. 

    Harmes should be a mainstayer but his inconsistency is infuriating. He is at prime age. So the fact that he can't get back into the side says a bit imo.

    What's your point?

    Surely it’s Chandler that is knocking down the door to get in. Laurie has not

    Was just interested in your opinion mate. TBH I'm on the fence about both Harmes and Melksham being important for us. Melksham has been better than I expected since coming in, but personally I would prefer a tall forward in his spot, just think that would help our forward problems particularly when we have Ben Brown roaming so high up the ground so often.

    But Laurie is named as one of the four emergencies; Chandler is not.

    Anyway, it might all be moot. Kev Martin has started a training thread for today and is keeping an eye on Pickett. Kev has confirmed that Pickett is at training.

    I know the guy has done every role in footy this season but i'd give Brayshaw the role of going to Cripps at stoppages. He has the strength to compete with him in there and the footy smarts to expose him on offense. 

    If we can mitigate Cripps at stoppage and our backs can keep McKay and Curnow under control i find it hard to see how Carlton can get us

    Personally I would like to see us include Harmes this week and rotate the sub through players like Sparrow, Jordon, ANB and Spargo. I think we would get a boost from these players being fresh and I don't think it would make a difference to our probability of winning.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
