Looking forward to seeing McVee and Laurie in their debut games tomorrow night. Not enough positivity around this for my liking.

    $161 for 3 people to have a reserved seat at the footy is nuts. We’ve all be fooled

    That is for sure! Who are these rancid, isolated opportunists?

    And lastly, I bet that when Bowey debuted you thought "who and why", and he turned out to be a gun and best 22 players.

    I remember getting into an argument with a poster here (can't remember who) that slammed Boweys selection. They more or less wrote him off from the start of the year because of his build stating he would get destroyed in finals. Was one of the more odd interactions I've had on here.

    I've been watching our round 23 game from last season.  The one where we were up by 66 points at half time against the Lions and playing some great footy.  If we play anywhere near that level, the Bulldogs don't stand a chance.

    Assuming Melksham who trained with the main squad at training today is the sub, the team changes from that night to tomorrow night are:-

    OUT: Hibberd, May, Hunt, Jackson, Viney, Fritsch, Jordon (came on as medi-sub for Jackson)

    IN: McVee, Tomlinson, Hunter, Grundy, Laurie, McDonald, Chandler

    I'm not going to try and mount a case either way as to which night was the better line-up because as far as I see it, it's really quite close.

    The outs are better than the ins. 

    We lose our premier defender and our premier forward.

    There are some terrific ins in Hunter, Grundy and T Mac, but I just feel the loss of May and Fritta tip the scales to last year's round 23 squad. We saw how we functioned without May in the Sydney, Collingwood (and most of Freo) losses and it wasn't great.

    Must be predicting a crowd of sub 30,000 if they're closing the top of the Ponsford.

    If they opened it up for the Melb V Freo game last year where just a couple of blokes and a dog sat up there, then surely it's opened for this one. 

    As if the top of the Ponsford is closed for Round 1? Just seems really odd.

    There was one game last year - either GWS or Freo - where they opened it by mistake and went around kicking people out at quarter time.

    Yeah layz,  it states it on the MCG website when I last checked…baffling.

    A lot of negativity with regard to the Tomlinson selection but we will not know how good or bad the selection is until the game is played. We could see Tmac and Tomlinson swapping ends if the game is going against us.  

    Will be watching a replay during a stop over in KSA.

    Go read the comments. They’re not far off. Pretty good. 

    Would have gone Turner myself but i back the FD to make the right decision.

    And best of luck Tommo. He deserves a bit more love around here given he was in AA form until he was injured in 21. And missed out on a premiership because of it.

    How could sportsbet have us as favourites?

    Bulldogs must be a huge chance now that May is also out.

    There will be alot of money going on the dogs today before the odds even up.

    I hope they know something we dont.

    Who actually cares what those parasitic blights say about us?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
