Bowey, Petty, McDonald, Lever are the starting backs with Salem, and Riv off the back flanks for the ‘A’ team.

interesting that with mcvee being ruled out for the first part of the season that rivers has been repositioned as a back flanker for the internal trial game 

mcdonald in the 'a team' as may is set to suit up for the indigenous game, i assume

    No Windsor today either so wonder whether Rivers goes back to the midfield once Caleb returns.

    Sparrow kicks truly. ‘A’ side comfortably in control. 

    If they weren't I'd be very concerned

    I’ll try and post some more consolidated thoughts tonight, but we definitely seem to be pressing up the ground on the transition and seem to be more matured with this than we were in the first half of last year. 
     

    Bowey managed to push up and kick a pearler.

    How did Bowey look? I'm hopeful he takes a big step up this year.

    Fritsch with another, takes his tally to 3.1. 
     

    I’m somewhat tentatively going to say Salem is back to his best, looks to be moving very similar to 2021 form and accumulating and distributing well. 
     

    Theres a brief stoppage with the coaching staff addressing both teams. Play resumes with 8:39 on the clock for the second stanza. 
     

    Clarry has been extremely vocal barking instructions in the D50/F50.

    HB, but I think he’s now being trialled as a HF. Missed a bit of play moving sides but he wasn’t one of the six out of the back on the most recent play.

    Looks good, I’d like him to get it a bit more but he’s definitely one of our better users. I actually think he could be a reasonable small forward for us.

    The challenge with Salo is that he seems to get injured or sick, misses a few games, then can't get back to his best. Lever is the same way.

    Agree entirely. I really thought his confidence was really off last year and it showed. He really looked to doubt his ability to take contact.

    You wouldn't think he'll play in the seniors off just one week back in full training.

    More likely against Freo on 2 March.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      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.
