Clause 1A in Gus' contract looking shaky 

Might be playing forward pocket at this rate

Most likely to JJ's wing and Harmes to go to Neale or maybe Rayner

    Been a liability since the knee injury. Will be better for it. Most oppositions attack this side of the ground to expose his questionable fitness. 

    Jordan covered 14.6 km last week, our 3rd highest, including 2.6 km at high speed (over 18km per hour), our 2nd highest.

    That list of emergencies is each in the starting 22 of at least 15 of the other teams.

    We have one list issue currently - tall forwards. Aside from that we are well stacked across the board.

    I don’t understand why they played Harmes in the slog last Sunday if they intended him to play tomorrow. Did he get rested in the last quarter? Surely JJ won’t miss out again after playing all year - perhaps being freshened up.

    Not ideal but if he doesn't play then that's two weeks without a hit out.

    Probably the hit out the FD wanted even if it was heavy under foot.  Possibly had a somewhat lighter week on the track vs most to counter the Sunday match.

    Gus to JJ's wing yes?

    Don't think we used a run with on Neale when we smashed them last time.  Possibly Harmes to Rayner.

    Team selection is a brutal business, at least they aren't sitting on their hands. 

    I also don't know if people have been watching the same guy but he's moving like a freight truck at the moment. If we want to stop getting skinned through the middle we need fit players in there.

    Good to see Harmes back a long as he does an effective job on Neale. With Neale attending the center bounces I can see us starting with Petracca at HF and Viney and Brayshaw in the center bounces with Harmes. not the worst setup.

    For Jordon's wing position we have a few that can cover there. Melksham has been named there but I do not see that as a full time gig for him tomorrow night. might have a bit part there but ANB might spend more time in that position and depending on defensive matchups I would give Rivers a spell there as well. Hunt I would try to keep in defense as we are getting god run for there with him.

     

    I see a win from the Demon Road Warriors..... Bad luck Lions.....

    Melksham named on the wing means Gus is there, nothing surer.

    Jordon looked laboured, despite what his running numbers were - Sparrow the way back in for him I think.

    Spargo and ANB aren’t in great form but from what I can see, the play roles that are not easily swapped in for someone unless they know where to go and when to go - mainly on defensive structures…

    Harmes to Neale, Angus to wing, JJ out.

    I like it. Put simply, Harmes is a better, tougher, more damaging player than Jordon (currently)

    Back to Sparrow, Harmes, Viney all being in the same midfield group. The stuff of horrors.

     

    That played in the most dominant finals side in years..

    How Spargo continues to get a game is absolutely mindboggling🤯 has done Zilch for weeks and last week was extremely poor

    Will be watching Harmes energy levels and ability to run out a full game closely. Surprised to say the least given he played an entire VFL game 5 days ago.

    You reckon? JJ has really struggled since the Geelong game.

    I see that Dean Kent is an inclusion for St Kilda in what will be his 100th game.

    Genuinely forgot that he was still on a senior list.  I wonder if the 100th is a farewell gesture.

    How frustrating are how they put out the teams?!!

    lions and demons are both listed as having one out and zero ins. When he reality lions are no change and demons brought Harmes in for Jordon. 

    did I mention I hate the sub rule??

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
