Yikes. So when Tmac is rucking we have no tall forwards.

    Joel Smith will ruck IMO

    Tmac can’t get off the ground.

    Just when I was just starting to come around again..

    We went in last week with one less tall in defence and that proved costly and now we're going in with one less tall with no genuine tall up forward when Max needs a rest.

    Yikes..

    Grundy is named as an emergency with Hibberd Laurie and Schache but if he can't get a game this week it is bye bye. 

    Guessing Hibberd will get the Sub roll.

    Huh, I thought Grundy would come in for JVR. Well there you go. 
     

    Edit: first said TMAC not JVR

    Jordon😪. I hope Grundy is the sub because we might need him but regardless, his non-selection in the 22 makes it completely clear the club is happy for him to move on.

    It’s as if our supporter base has no understanding of football. Who plays ruck when Gawn is off????

    Gee mate. It's almost like you have no understanding of football

    This creates challenges for Carlton’s backline in match ups and forces us to lower our eyes… seems like I’m alone but like it a lot

    No Grundy is so dumb.

    No idea why Hibberd has been dropped, he was excellent last week but assume he will at least be the sub.

    Jordon no thanks.

    I like it create a bit of chaos going forward with smalls, plus they are all runners so can push up the ground and help

    Guess you just have to have faith in the section committee but so far this year Jordan has failed every-time he has been picked and Schache "granted only emergency" can't even play well at Casey.

    Mmmm, you don't think both parties came to an arrangement 6 weeks ago (if not longer)... they're not NOT discussing with him, nor are the 'signaling' to him.

    It’s a good move. No point bring in another tall if we just play the same way. May as well bring in someone who can hit a target inside 50.

    Is anyone else frustrated with Van Rooyen and annoyed that's he's out due to stupidity?

    I know it's his first year but he has gone some silly things this year and when our forward line is falling down he puts himself out with a silly elbow to the chin which he didn't need to do.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
