Choco Williams needs to get stuck into the kicking training again. Our accuracy has been horrible the last 5 matches and is basically the difference now.

    Jesus, you'd think GWS would think they're a legit chance.

    Isn’t every one just thrilled that we gave up a home game to travel interstate?

    Geelong got momentum from their crowd and played to their strengths at home. We gave this game up.

    I absolutely hate it. Melbourne homes games at the G only. If we want to be taken seriously start acting that way.

    We aren’t dropping our best forward from tonight, Champ.

    In: Brown, Bowey, Tomlinson, Oliver (worth a punt), Harmes (sub)

    Out: Chandler, Spargo, Jordon, Petty

    Whatever we do, can we actually have a tactical sub that can impact the game with some power. Harmes (who I'm not a massive fan of) would've been a better choice tonight given the conditions.

    Smith sucks people in, he's a flashy play or two a game, but can't play footy

    Re Joel Smith-I wasn't sucked in AD. I saw the excellent work he did in the first half with his marks, contesting, knocking on, handballs when the rest of the. team was struggling. He actually showed leadership with his efforts. He was quieter in the second half but one of our better players overall who contested hard all night and was effective. In my view he is a very important player for us.

    We can bring it back to Melbourne but it will end up at Marvel. We won't get another game at the G

    Yeh not a fan of a small forward being the sub.

    Angus, Lingers, Kozzy all had bad games and have been off their best, lingers in particular for a while. 

    So tired of us picking blokes on reputation over an actual performance given to the coaches, dropping Tomlinson has proved to be an absolute shocker as most of us thought it was. For Petty to stroll back in and serve that up was horrendous.

    Fine by me. There will be 25,000 Melbourne supporters there, who can give our boys some momentum and belief.

    They aren’t getting that playing in front of 5,000 impartial footy fans in Port and Adelaide jumpers in Alice.

    Hopefully Brown has a good run for Casey this week. Would like to see him back in asap, would help the small forwards as well.

    He has to be dropped. Absolutely a liability. May pressure well but useless when has the ball.

    Tomlinson back into defense. Petty forward. 

    JJ out.  Bowey in. 

    Spargo not the sub. 

    Hibbo to play on Greene. 

    Do we need to give Gawn a week off? He seems cooked.

    I assume Clarry won’t play. Obviously if fit he is in for literally anyone that isn’t Viney as I would kill for another player with clean ball handling skills in the contest.

    Not sure who goes in and out as we never make a lot of changes.

    I'd look to bring Oliver and Bowey in. Would like a proper key forward in as well, Brown being the most likely candidate but not sure how likely that would be.

    Jordon, Spargo and Chandler all in danger of being dropped while Hibberd may need further resting and Petty looks underdone.

    Will probably end up being Oliver in, Jordon out.

    Brown in and forward, Petty back to Casey to be replaced by Tomlinson (should never have been dropped in the first place).

    Brown needs to prove himself at Casey. He’s banged up and immobile. He doesn’t solve our issues IMO. 

    TMac is who we desperately miss. A tall who can play higher up and take contested marks. We’ve looked awful up forward ever since he stuffed his foot in 2022. 

    This is a role Petty can play well and it’s what they tried to get Smith to do.

    Fine theory, but this game would be played at Docklands not the G, and would cost the club $500k and mean we needed to find a new sponsor rather than the NT govt

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
