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)

    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 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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
