Please tell me what happens if max gets injured mid game

Spargo in the ruck

    Aside from JJ for Gus, the changes are a real head scratcher.

    We select Tomlinson with McKay out, and the Blues going small. And we drop a more mobile Hibbo from a backline that conceded only 60 points last week.

    And essentially Spargo comes in for JVR. Why have we given Schache another year?

    So unless Goody has devised a new gameplan in the past week, I have no confidence in us scoring over 60 points in what will be ideal conditions.

    The chat about no tall forwards when McDonald in the ruck ignores the fact that Smith, Petracca and Fritsch are not exactly small and all play as marking forwards PLUS can beat their opponents when the ball hits the deck

    Their start and method will tell a story early.  If we again let them get a start I will be incensed. If we drop out this week, the club will be hammered and carry an unforgivable legacy with this list.  New coaches to support Goody especially midfield and forwards coaches.

    I guess T-Mac? Maybe even Joel will get in there.

    Not super confident either though, mosquito fleet better kick some goals when we're down there.

    When was the last time tmac played ruck??? No better time than semi final FMD

    Interesting we have an ex-Demons player (Andre Gianfagna) as one of the umpires.

    Goodwin must take responsibility for selection and it does not fill me with much fizz.

    I would prefer Lauren Pearce in the ruck before T-Mac

    Has Goodwin lost his mind. Tmac can’t jump more than 3cm off the ground. This is 2017 all over again 

    reckon i’d trust a premiership coach’s logic over a footy forum

    Our ability to mark inside 50 really concerns me.

    I can’t believe Hibberd is out WTF are they doing, the guy can rest his Achilles once he’s retired, unbelievable & they player a plonker In Tomlinson 

    Salem & Tmac are ineffectual & Grundy our shining pre season ray of hope can’t even get a look in with a injury hampered Max

    This game is lost in selection 

    A bloody disgrace 

     

    Hibbo can’t play multiple games. if his body was fine he would 100% be playing

    Perhaps they are going to do what the On The Couch panel suggested and kick in scrubby chaos ground balls all game (in perfect dry weather footballing conditions). This has the hallmarks of a massive stuff up.

    • 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.
