Surely Fullarton plays if Petty injured. If not, why did we recruit him? Did he not drop out of the selected squad through illness? If so, must be close. With Freo having two genuine ruckman he can assist Max, particularly with the calf, and spend time forward.Means that JVR can 'stay at home' up front longer. More of a genuine ruck. Open to other suggestions.  For me it's way to early for Jefferson based on one good performance. 

That was Fullarton.

We have an Alice Springian or two on here and they’ve said Alice Springs isn’t anywhere near as humid as Darwin. Don’t think it’s ever been a sweat box when we’ve played in Alice.

    can anyone shed light as to why Fullerton was replaced as an emergency for AFL but did not play VFL?

    Yep won’t be slippery at all. It’s not in the top end. Perfect weather as some years have been a touch warm.

    McAdam and Petty need to go back to the 2nds, time we bring in Jefferson and see what he is about no point waiting till it’s forced on us late in the year and then one of Sestan, Brown or Tholstrup as a fwd / mid

    If its a slippery kind of game we may as well hand the game Freo now. I don't have faith in the Dees executing under these conditions... I hope I'm wrong this time.

    We have been bad in the past, but we were a lot better in the slippery game against Carlt, just that first quarter

    Surely not Laurie, he is good at VFL then goes missing at AFL.  AMW or Kolt ahead of him for sure.

    i sort of agree.

    But he hasn't really had a go at it.  Like give him a run at it like we did Billings and let him settle into his role.

    If we drop Tommo I will spew up.

    I agree, no change.  But the clock is ticking for Petty and McAdam. 

    Petty looked to have turned the corner in the second half v Geelong but has barely touched the footy since.  He clunked one about 5 minutes in yesterday and I thought he might be on, sadly not.

    Re McAdam I agree he needs a block of games but it's a big ask to carry two forwards who not only don't hit the scoreboard but barely touch the leather.

    The first quarter against Adelaide circa 2018 stands out as perfect footy conditions and we romped the Crows. Keep Clarry shaded and all is grand.

    Wrong answers only:

    sparring partner for Schache

    Allow me to momentarily jump ahead one round of the pre-game thread. 

    According to “Footy Feeds” on the AFL site, Pies will not have Cox, Mihocek, De Goey or Richard’s for King’s Birthday. Add these names to their already extensive list  

    Ok, back to matters at hand…

    Im a Salem potter and for now still think he leaves a lot to be desired. I loved he had a great game. He has those now and then. It’ll take more than beating up on a uncompetitive side to change my mind - but it’s just my opinion. Let’s see how he goes in the next 2.

    • 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.
