    I see Tarryn Thomas is playing. Must have completed part four of his educational program. ‘I must remember it’s wrong to blackmail women.’

    BBB has to perform!!! 

    He's played his role at Casey the last few weeks NS.

    Barring a bad fail today, Goody needs to get him in imv with JVR and the other forwards / mids and finally settle on an approx 23.

    A little too much tinkering up forward,  through the middle (Kozzy, Jordon, Gus) and with Petty as an experimental forward.

    As Dazzle suggested, Bring in Disco to free up Lever to his usual and most effective role as interceptor vs taking the 2nd best D where he aint so good.  At least until Petty returns.

    Kozzy back to mostly crumbing pressure forward pls and FCS train him to get to the right spots more often.

    Settle the team into their usual 'strength roles' or we risk becoming a jack of all trades and will probably continue to be shakey up against the top 5 - 6 clubs who will play on these weaknesses and look to exploit them.

    At 666 we are lacking a class outside mid with some foot speed and one more extractor / heavy hitter inside.

    That last one might be Dunstan for Jordon / Sparrow but of course he is now out for a while.

    Dunstan almost the best user of the ball by hand at the club in traffic.  We desperately need a distributor in the clinches, especially at 666, who can handball further than a few feet.

    Dunstan can bring that release handball to outside receivers (Tracc/Lingers & Hunter) at stoppage which sees us changing lanes a little and giving different looks for forwards with the kick inside 50.

    The inside / outside could be Harmes but not sure where he's at and seems to have fallen out of favor with the FD till now?  Has played a few decent games at Casey and shown some form but does he fit any role in this team from here i wonder?

    It’s disappointing that Dunstan is out.  I’d be tempted to bring him in to help win or at least break even at clearances.  

    Dunstan had 5 games for us in 2022. We won four of them but I cannot recall him impacting the game. Most say he's too slow for AFL.

    Im not saying he's anywhere near this level but most also said that about Diesel as he made others around him look like millionaires with elite distribution by hand. The too slow talk quickly went out the door.

    Can we afford to bring Dunstan in off the bench as a mostly specialist 666 extractor/distributor?

    IMO, his limited ability to hit a target is the thing that keeps him out of the AFL side.

    Is Deakyn Smith worth a consideration for Jake Bowey?

    Is Bowey out for sure this week?

    Mitch White still struggling with his foot skills. First kick was out on the full and second was a scrubbing kick which bounced through players for a goal. It is hot early in this game.

    Mitch White played for Mansfield last week while Casey had the bye. As expected he was BOG.

    Nah I would have thought Sparrow would be the straight swap

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
