With McAdam in the squad, does Salo have a week in the 2s? Assume the other in either BBB/Fullarton

    Look forward to seeing him. The skills he supposedly brings are exactly what we need in the forward half

    Must be BB and McAdams for JVR and Disco.

    A big ask for McAdams given he's played about 90 minutes of game time in about a year.

    That would mean Fullarton is not, as otherwise they would have announced him too.

    I don’t think McAdam playing has any relevance to whether Salem is in this week. If he’s fit, he plays. Probably at the expense of Woewodin.

    Left field: Tommo in to the backline, and send May to FF, just for this game. 
    Tommo at least has decent form in the VFL, and I love to see May crash a few packs up forward. 

    May up forward (now that TMac has some better form and support) is a bold but worthwhile option; whatever, if it is not successful by half-time, back to defence, slipping Tracca up forward for longer spells. Fritta will be crucial, and smalls need to be alert for opportunities ahead.

    I wouldn't mind Salo coming in and taking some of Trac's midfield minutes allowing him more time I50. But assuming BBB is coming in other moves would also be necessary...Woey out (stiff), Windsor sub?

    In: BBB, McAdam, Salem 

    Out: Turner, JVR, Woey 

    Petty would be rucking I'd assume... 

    If no in game injuries I think McAdam and Salem would be chances to be subbed out, similar to Bowey last week.

    These are the changes I’m anticipating. If one of the returning players isn’t starting sub then I think Billings is the most likely candidate.

    Salem's Player Ratings according to Wheelo Ratings

    2021 - 10th for MFC (9.68 points)

    2022 - 29th for MFC (5.15 points)

    2023 - 21st for MFC (7.88 points)

    2024 - 18th for MFC (7.72 points)

    He is definitely not a lock in our best side.

    Again, and i promise im not being facetious, do you mean if you were a selector or that you think goody thinks salo is not a lock in our best side?

    I ask, because they are two different things.

    Thrilled to see McAdam in the side. I wouldn't be surprised if Kolt is one of the inclusions for this round either.

    Great to see McAdam get his chance.

    I also think Dirk could be given a nod again.

    Gawny going to ruck 100% of game time… or…

    Sure, why not...

    At the start of the year I was hoping they'd rest him for this game, however West Coast are far better at home than I could have imagined.

    (can only imagine Petty and T Mac will share 7-8 minutes a quarter as back up. GC rucked defender Mac Andrew as a pinch hitter last week, so it's not out of the ream of possibility that T Mac could pinch hit ruck as a defender)

    Could we see a return to the TMac pinch-hitting strategy for this week?

    Congratulations Shane McAdam and MFC, really looking forward to seeing you running around in our colours against the Weagles, hope you have a great game, we need a bit more X-Factor in our side.!!

    Fingers crossed that McAdam gets a good run at it. Would be handy to cement another marking option who brings some real pressure

    I'm just looking forward to us playing a forward who actually holds overhead marks!

    I can't see Woey being dropped as the game is in Perth, he has been sub several times and was one of our best when he came on against Carlton.

    If anything, Chin could need a rest with his knee issues on a possible hard ground.

    I would even have Woey in ahead of Billings.

    Do posters actually ever inform themselves of the facts ??? Stop posting innacuate, dumb stuff.

    Schache is injured,  didn't play the last game & is not available.

    Posters still calling for McAdams inclusion despite Goodwin & the Club insisting he needed to play several games at Casey.

    You were saying?

    Shane would be delighted. This is a massive injection of confidence for him and confidence is everything when it comes to game-day. So proud of him. ❤️💙

    I reckon he will play Discos role - if he can - providing agility and a marking option.  Im not 100% that he has the tank so may stay closer to goal.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
