    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.

The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
