Tank pls. No point risking Gawn, and a few others.

    Hopefully the Saints can beat either Cats or Blues and we can snap up pick 5

    What statement might that be, given that the club has known for weeks that Nibbler is leaving?

    No Oliver will be interested because in theory Sparrow should play as a full time on baller. it'll be great to see how he goes.

    He’s the bloody future 

    Future of what? He can't defend and doesn't offer enough in attack. He's had an ok first season at the AFL level but needs a massive preseason rather than be gifted any extra games. Has to come back stronger, more physical and more willing to get the ball.

    For everyone talking about the game style right now both good and bad I have an question for you and I'm keen to hear the responses:

    - Would you like to see us attempt to play an attacking, free flowing, 'through the middle' style of footy and see us try to develop this even if it means potentially being smacked by 10 goals plus?

    OR

    - Do you want to see us go up there and put up a fight with the strangle approach we used against Port? It won't be pretty but if executed we may lose by a small margin or even get a win.

    Keen to hear your thoughts. 

    Hate to be all Ted Lasso but i'd just tell them go out there make the supporters proud and have fun aha. I get its not super professional and very juniors-like but what else is there to do at this stage of the year.

    I'm anticipating quite a few changes to the list and gameplay next year so these 2 games are a bit meaningless.

    Given Goody’s comments he has to play this week or next.

    I would like to see Sestan given a run.

    After a promising period mid season I reckon his last month has been horrid. 

    A pity as I think he's one of the more intriguing players on our list

    Fair enough but I would still give him a run this week or next week to see how he reacts to the situation and to give him some clear incentive over the off season.


    These next games mean something...but the opposite of what they usually do, we want to lose them and want others to win to give us a better draft pick potentially.

    Winning them won't achieve anything and supporters know that at this stage for 2024.  Winning would be a waste, not to mention a meaningless risk for players like Gawn. 

    What do we want out of 2024 at this late stage?

    Our season is cooked, so how do we get the best result from now for the MFC.

    Do we know if Fullerton can play at AFL level or do we just leave him at Casey until we delist him. Drop Gawn, in for medical,

    Bring in Jefferson for 2 matches after telling him this is what AFL is like and strive over preseason to get there

    Use the remaining 2 games as a positive for 2025, if in doubt play them.

    Whats the worst that can happen? Lose 2  dead games, have a look at players and possibly improve our draft position.

    It wont matter to the vast majority of our supporters, they wont go anyway, Petty will still be a forward, at night, cold, dark or just couldnt care. Let us see the possible future and enjoy the DEES at the G. For now!

    I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see Fullarton come in for the two remaining games and JvR played forward for 100% of both games.

    Saints should beat the blues. They are decimated by injury. West Coast should beat them too. It may also be a double benefit as saints might get first round compensation for Battle.

    I do think we are a chance to win either of our games, though won’t be favourites.

    Jesus Christ we have a game this week!

    Listened to Dwanes world the other day did anyone else catch Chris from Camberwells take?? He reckons Goody will be gone by seasons end. Now I know everyone has an opinion but for some reason I have a sneaky suspicion that he could be onto something here!

    So far no announcement re Jeffo. Am I the only one that senses a lost opportunity on behalf of the club to blood this player based on very good recent form? The club has missed a Golden opportunity here to give the supporters something to look forward to. Very disappointing!

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
