    I love that Salos back in town. How many times, especially pre flag, have I seen a shambolic Melbourne - to be cured by a Salem tackle/block/turnover/sidestep and perfect delivery. 

    Statement play and recalibrates the whole team

    Might have a sneaky $50 on us at that price

    Geez, talk about going from one extreme to the other. Why are roughing up JJ & tapping him on the backside the only two choices for Viney? Just because Danny says no to roughing him up doesn’t mean he suggests the tap on the backside.

    FWIW, JJ left our Club because we weren’t in a position to afford him the opportunity that he’s now getting at Sydney. Zero animosity. He left with our collective blessing. Same goes for Toby. 

    You’re wasting your time trying to explain anything to this poster.

    It really highlights how easily people are swayed by media sentiment. The bookies would be loving it.

    Watched the Sydney game against Brisbane and Ladhams was far away the better ruckman between he and Grundy.

    Grundy ran around looking like he lacked the required match fitness.

    Hmmm that’s really interesting… particularly for my SuperCoach team 😬

    Billings, Windsor should debut 

    I’d give Clarry another week to build up after a very interrupted pre season

     

    I wouldn't, Swans midfield in disaray, keep him out and he plays???? What another Casey game?

    Nar.... UNLEASH CLARRY CHOO CHOO😁

    I have a feeling that Clarry's absence is not just form or fitness related, and as such i think he will come back when Max and the team say he can return to the ones.

    Seriously???? A four time B & F and all Aussie and you want to flirt with team oks?

    Nup if he is ready he plays! No ifs or buts

    Who gets Papley? He’s the only forward of theirs that worries me. He’ll either kick 5 or 0 

    McVee is my guess. Little Papa might run through the middle as well.

    Agree, if Paps gets off the chain he could change the whole match very quickly. Juddy or perhaps Riv?

    Is the Swans midfield in disarray?

    l certainly hope we go in with a preparedness to take them on. According to today’s AFL website story: Double Trouble. Pair’s Injuries Add to Swans Midfield Woes. Beyond the glib headlines they bat rather deep.

    Absolutely not in disarray, and as for people saying if Clarrie is physically fit he plays no ifs or but, that would be a massive mistake. The club knows what they are doing and if he’s ready they will play him. If they choose to give him another week or so it will be for the best.

    Swans midfield still has Guilden, Warner, Heeney, with Sheldrick who will step up this year and Jordan, Rowbottom to run through there. Papley may also get short stints through there. I don’t think our FD will be underestimating them

    Mate, Clarry lacking match fitness will not be the difference between winning and losing.

    Clarry is more important than one game. the club will do what’s best for him

    We covered him very well last year

    If our culture is so fragile that it requires Oliver having an unofficial and hidden (from the public/supporters) first team suspension to not shatter it, we have some pretty deep issues.

    I don't have blind faith in the club, but I don't believe that we have problems of that magnitude.

    If you believe in selection integrity, there is absolutely no rational justification for Oliver not playing given he has been reintegrated into the team and has played two practice matches.

    Papley can have an all Australian small defender on him every game and he’ll still do what he does every second weeks. Loves being under fire, loves being roughed up, loves being doubted and especially loves being a focal point. Take care of the rest of the ground and Papley can’t do anything.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
