    Sparrow and Harmes in. No Woey unless he is the sub or there's a late change

    Woey won't be the sub. Demons never name debutantes as the sub.

    Poor JJ ... he really is on the outer. Thought he was a certainty to be in the 22 ahead of Harmes.

    Walters being injured is something of a bonus. He's the type of player who cuts us up.

    Good to see Harmesy back in, you would think Gus starts on the wing.

    Well we can kiss Jordan goodbye at the end of the year!

    I would guess Rivers or even Harmes go to the wing before Gus.  But who knows

    Agree and super surprised JJ didn't get the nod ahead of Harmes. I thought his Casey game was better than Harmes and that he would be a no-brainer to replace Hunter on the wing. JJ is definitely on the outer 😟

    Oh well it looks like we’re going to lose a very solid future 200 game player at years end

    Sad to see you go JJ

    So Walters is out injured and no-one comes in?

    It's not that hard to provide the ins and out guys! I'm sure this means the sub from last week comes in, so we have to go look who was the sub?  jesus.  just tell us who is in and out of the 22!  

    I couldn't give a rats about the sub!

    Can you guarantee who will ?

    I’ll give the FD one more go at the JVR-TMac set up, and the no-third-tall defender set up. 

    But neither have me convinced and I’ll be more than a little peeved if we lose in circumstances which suggest a different tall mix might have made a difference.

    It means last week’s sub, Fyfe, is “in”. 

    AFL has to change the rules to mean clubs name 23 plus three emergencies. If the sub is credited with a game, the sub should be named alongside the 22.

    I'd be happy to see a bit more of Rivers in the middle.

    I agree about Gus. He doesn't look fit enough for an on-ball or wing role

    I'm glad we kept the fwd line the same, we can't keep swapping T Mac and BB around.  And Chandler and JVR have been our best fwd options and although have been poor the last couple, should bounce back.  They are young and will have quiet games, especially when our midfield is being belted

    Yep. I don't see why he'd want to stay.

    I like Sparrow and I think Harmes might have helped us against Yartapuulti if he’d run with Butters. One or both of them will probably come in next week. 

    Ahem.

    I would play both Gus and Rivers out of the middle. Harmes can play forward or he could be used to tag Brayshaw.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
