Hibbo pulled up? Wow 

It’ll be Pickett for Brown. Petty will remain forward and I reckon Tomlinson will be sub. 
They will obviously not drop Rivers or Chandler and I’ll burn the joint down if JJ gets the chop.

Had Jordon in my votes last week. Cannot believe he’s been omitted. Tough to find anyone to drop, but I don’t agree with this decision.

    2018 Round 9, MCG: Melbourne 25.9.159 defeated Carlton 7.8.50

    Melbourne won by 109 points! I was there with my daughter - it was FANTASTIC!

     

    Sadly I still don’t remember it.

    He is clearly being seen as out of best 22

    Even in the StK practice game he was playing in the 2s game

    The Jordan one is really stuff…Sparrow would want to have a solid, impactful game as Jordan was excellent last week

    Reality is that no one deserved to be dropped, but someone had to for Pickett..

    would be interesting to hear the thought process behind the decision

    If you base form on this year purely between Jordon and Sparrow considering they play the exact same role then even in the single game he's played, Jordon's output far out weighs the underwhelming performances Sparrow has dished up so far.

    It's not just this year alone but even going off last year's form where he was again, underwhelming for the year.

    I don't blame him either and I hope for his own career sake. 

    He'll be better appreciated somewhere else.

    There's a lot of the season to go yet

    Your not alone. Real head scratcher this scratching.

     

    re: Sparrow vs Jordon. I'd be wagering the football department have some insight and know what they are doing and for what purpose, be it for 2023 or beyond.

    Really think JJ or better Sparrow should be sub and rotate it through the year amongst a few. Melksham can get to his 100 father and son rule stuff later in the year. What happened to rewarding form. We have treated JJ poorly.

    Sparrow is the new O Mac

    We thrashed Gold Coast by 98 points in August 2021.  Remember that one?  Viney got suspended.

    God, we have some overblown nonsense in this thread.

    Its hard for good young players to keep a spot in this midfield unless you are special.

    Deal with it.

    Sparrow very lucky to be in the team. Jordon very stiff.

    I'm with you, there's stories like this in most successful clubs and whoever gets him is going to have a very committed and ready made player.

    Not happy!! Agree with others re JJ.

    Also, I don't think Tmac deserved to be recalled after only 1 good match at Casey.

    Not up to it but will have fantastic job security in the best 22 for the next 5 years based off a few good glimpses

    Ah, I thought you were referencing the outwardly expressive love for him on Demonland a la the oft maligned OMAC!

    Carry on... 😘


    The last two seasons Jordan has had late season injuries that ruled him out of finals and meant he was sub for the grand final in ‘21.

    The FD may be being cautious with him and letting him work into the season. That’s the only reason I can see why they’d drop him after his game last week.

    Tragic.

    He will be sub, Kozzie and Tmac both had to come in. Doubt whether Jordon will spit the dummy at the end of the year.

    It's only round 4.  Plenty to play out this season so let's not jump the gun re Jordon leaving.

    You'd have to have faith in our FD and also recognise we have more than 22 worthy senior players on the list.

    Not surprised by the change, difficult though it is to make changes to a winning team. Pickett in gives us more outside run around the ball, so no surprise that they've kept Sparrow who's more of an insider.

    Jordan unlucky but will get his chances, we're not going to get through the season without midfield injuries and he's next cab off the rank.

    Overblown is an understatement.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
