There are hot cross buns at Coles, Easter eggs at Woolworths and Werridee teams on Demonland. Must be January.

We could have a Van and a Laurie arrive at the same time. For all your logistical needs, contact the Melbourne Football Club.

Gone very early!

 Harmes, bbb, petty, schache, spargo and several others say ‘hi’!

think there will be some interesting changes this year. 

If Schache starts round 1 we are in serious injury trouble for the start of the season.  Same with Melksham.

Bowey for Hibberd

Interesting... not impossible

Petty obviously needs to be included.

I'd question Melksham as the sub baring in mind that there is no longer a medical requirement for substitution. The old mantra when there was a similar sub rule was young fresh legs for the last quarter. Chandler fits that description but you already have him in the side.

Not sure ANB is a lock.

Given only one official practice match and no VFL games until Round 3 the intra club scratch matches assume some significance in determining the make up of the team.

Going to be an interesting battle for 4-5 spots

Substitute Van Royen for Jordan, add BBB. Petty obviously takes Turners place ! Tactical Sub Harmesy and thats my team also for round 1 2023!

All righty then, let's see...

B:         Bowey      Petty        Lever

HB:      Salem       May        Rivers

C:        Langdon  Petracca   Brayshaw

HF:      Grundy   [BBB/TMC]     Hunter

F:         Pickett    Van Rooyen    Fritsch

Foll:      Gawn       Oliver            Viney

and your favourites of Tomlinson, Harmes, Jordon, Neal-Bullen, Spargo, Smith, Sparrow, Laurie, Dunstan, Melksham.

I'm tipping only one of Brown and McDonald will be in the round one team and that Van Rooyen will be ahead of the other.

Grundy will be playing the traditional role of rucking half-forward/third tall!

Langdon will have a wing left as open as possible while Brayshaw will take a wing-to-defence and Hunter will take a wing-to-attack role on the more congested side (i.e., the side May always kicks out to!)

I think Laurie might sneak in if his practice games are good enough, becoming a dedicated small defender and pushing Rivers to the bench as another reasonably flexible runner.

I think we may yet see Tomlinson string a chunk of games together as Goodwin has a go at positional moves, trying to confuse opponents and test out the best way to use Gawn/Grundy and maybe induct Petty as a swingman option.

With 5 interchange I don't necessarily agree. You don't always select the 19th to 23rd best player for the interchange positions.

Much can depend upon form injury a horses for courses need and heaven forbid Goody and Selection Committee opening their eyes to our top 30 players and not the 23 heroes that famously won our 13th flag. Let's hope this is the direction all season where players are rewarded with AFL selection and our depth proves that our list is 32 deep rather than 23!!

Change Gawn on HF line to FPocket and Chandler to FFlank in Tmacs possie and Tmac is CH F. Much better balanced

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
