Frawley to debut

Featured Replies

 

Now...

We expect a win.

I anticpate a loss.

Sylvia out

I cant get excited about the return of Brock and Robbo, cos the Kid is gone again

 

Hoorah for Frawley!

Y_M, keep the suicidal ramblings confined to Sylvia discussions. This is a happy thread! :D

Team that was just on Ten News:

INS: Frawley, Holland, Bizzell, McLean, Robertson, C Johnson

OUTS: Ferguson, Sylvia, Whelan (all inj)

So no Rivers or Moloney still.....


Hooray for Bizzell.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm happy that Bizzell is playing.

Don't get too excited, he probably won't make the final cut.

Robbo is a definite, alongside Frawley, which leaves probably one or two at the most to come in.

My guess, McLean and CJ.

Who would Holland play on, with Thompson out of the side?

Don't expect to see Moloney for a while...

 

The 3 that will play are Robbo, Mclean and FRAWLEY if Daniher and Fagan have half a brain

CJ should not go within 15 kilometres of the MCG.

I think I did get a bit too excited.

Bizzell does deserve to play ahead of Frawley if the MFC want to be consistent with their youth policy.

Whelan is a big out...esp with the roos small forwards doing quite well this year...

Yeah, big job for Petterd this week.

Who would Holland play on, with Thompson out of the side?

Leigh Brown or Hale/McIntosh if they rest forward

I think I did get a bit too excited.

Does or doesn't?? :blink:

I wouldn't get too excited. The extended bench has the (safer/conservative) option of including experienced (recycleable) players. CJ has his EB Nomination award for his good game last week. I don't expect to see him or Frawley. I'm used to it.

If Holland is picked over Frawley I'll boycott this game. So sick of this [censored].


For the 1st time in its history, Inside Football - which rates every player every game- gave a player zero. That player was Miller against WCE. It's what he was worth. Still he gets picked, and Newton doesn't play anywhere. This club deserves its position on the ladder.

Agreed Astro

Miller picked again

An absolute joke

He must have purchased the compromising images that were floating around. He is sure not there on form or ability.

Hooray for Bizzell.

Iam with ya he should have been in the side all year.


Hooray for Bizzell.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm happy that Bizzell is playing.

Yeah, welcome back Bizz man!

MELBOURNE

B: Ward, Carroll, Petterd

HB: Frawley, Holland, Bell

C: Johnstone, McDonald, Davey

HF: Green, Robertson, Bruce

F: Yze, Neitz, Bate

FOLL: White, Godfrey, Jones

I/C from: P.Johnson, Dunn, Bizzell, Miller, McLean, Brown, C.Johnson

IN: Frawley, McLean, Holland, Bizzell, C.Johnson, Robertson

OUT: Ferguson (thumb), Sylvia (hamstring), Whelan

NEW:James Frawley, Selection No.12 in 2006 National Draft from North Ballarat

so miller may not play, has been named on the extended interchange bench...

would think brock will miss out again as he's been named on the bench... frawley a certain starter on the half back flank, along with holland at CHB...

i will think the bench will read P. Johnson, Dunn, Brown, Miller.

brown to miss if mclean plays

So its pretty much

IN: Holland, Frawley, Robbo

Out: Sylvia, Wheels :angry: , Ferg

for now anyway...

I think Miller will be dropped if McLean is ready to come back in

 

Miller should be played at CHB, for this week and coming weeks. If he still continues to dissapoint by all means move him on. I think if he plays consectutive games there he will surprise many.

Can't believe our luck wit injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if Wheatley was unavailable, he'd normally get the call up after dominating for Sandy last week. With Whelan out Wheatleys becomes more important because he can take the kickouts.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
