I'm guessing the rationale is replacing a forward with another forward rather than a mid.

Fair enough.  Though Melksham only has 1 more goal this year than JJ and has played 50% more games.

 

JJ for Brown makes no sense. Melksham will replace Brown to go smaller and more mobile up forward. 

 

 MFCSS setting in.

For some reason I get more nervous watching on TV than if I'm at the match, or even watching at the Sporting Globe with other Demons' supporters.

They just did a make some noise Dees fans followed by make some noise Bombers fans. You could barely hear a pin drop for the Dees. Was very loud for the Bombers. 

If only cringing was audible.

    Same. I think it's because we aren't at the ground so we can't see what's going on fully & we aren't giving our support. 

    I wasn't nervous last week but I am today because I just want to beat this team so badly

    I don't know about others, but the prompt pregame to make some noise feels condescending and makes me unenthusiastic.  However, I am very vocal during the match, ask @WalkingCivilWar 😁

    That's coz dees fans have class and don't respond to the screeching, beseeching hype person.

    That and the last 15 mins before the game is for checking the picnic hamper.

    More goals for the Kossie/ Chandler show.

    Cringeworthy condescending.  But that's much of the match day "performance" these days  (except for the actual footy).

    Absolutely.  The cheese and kabana doesn't cut itself!

    If the rain does come around half time we don't want to get jumped and then have to pull it back in difficult conditions.

    It’s JJ’s 50th and 31 year old Melksham in probably his last year, has hardly played any decent footy this season and he is preferred to JJ.

    Wow!

    Are we determined to p-ss this kid off and drive him away in his FA year? Apparently so.

    Hope Goody has had a chat with JJ to explain the rationale of the selection.

    Well I suppose Melk can have a great game and justify it, but initially it seems hard on JJ, on a small milestone game.

    Yep, should be easily the other away around. 
    GF (unused) sub, 50th game sub… just doesn’t sit well with me

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
