So why don’t we have teams yet?

I promise you that when you turn up to the G tomorrow, you’ll see 22 Melbourne players plus a sub. Who those players are, nobody knows.

Good question. Pies players are probably still waiting for their Telehealth consultations.

Surely it’s the players who trained with Woey as carryover.

JJ and Hibbo in for Harmes and Bowey.

Would far rather see Woey in than JJ. JJ is a known: pretty competent, but no more than that. Woey is an unknown. He may be a bust but then….. maybe not.

Good to get JJ in the shop window 😕

Hi all, 

I have 2 level 4 tickets in the Shane Warne Stand that I’m not using tomorrow, so if anyone wants them they are free to a good home.  DM me, first in best dressed.

Clint the MFC website says 6:20pm.


Has this ever happened before full house and neither team announced 22 hrs before the game, quite baffling- you post first, no you post first, NO YOU POST FIRST.!!!!!!!!

That’s still insanely late, not blaming the club but Today’s games had teams confirmed on Friday.

I suppose it matters to the club from a planning perspective. 
Shouldn’t matter to fans, except those who gamble.

Well here is the team then:

same as last week with Bowey and Harmes out and Hibbo and JJ in, with Woey as carryover.

Enjoy.

Not hard to work out since we know who played for Casey today and we know who is unavailable due to injury.

Because that was the training squad this morning.

Both teams are in the same boat. I'm sure we'll have multiple plans for certain players, but we'll focus on ourselves as always.

Collingwood's ball movement and what they try to do isn't drastically going to change from the last year of football, so it's about how our system can combat this and exploit it.

The personnel is largely irrelevant, although we know De Goey and Sidebottom won't be playing.

Used to matter as they had to print the Footy Record. Doesn't matter anymore.

 

And we have a team. one change Hibberd in. Four emg one will be sub.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
