If we are playing both Jeffo and AJ, then surely either Roo is still not right to go, or Disco has been dropped maybe?

 
1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

can't see us going with all of jvr, fritsch, turner, jefferson, and johnson

if latter two are playing, i'm assuming at least one of the first three aren't

i presume jvr has not come up from his back issue

Still think if that’s true (Roo inj) — club would’ve announced it at presser! If not it’s poor form. Was moving well at Sim so I’m gonna say it’s Turner.. 🙏

    That can't be right...that's more than Richmond last night!!  Maybe they got excited by the Tigers win and thought we'd raise them by adding even more fresh faces...can't say I agree with that but surely if that's the case there is a good reason.

    That's a lot of fresh faces...didn't think it would happen all at once but very exciting, just hope if Jeffo plays he has a ripper!

    For future reference, how did you get it to post as the picture rather than just the link?

    Club made a point of saying JVR was definitely playing and okay...hope he's okay still


     

    Doesn't make sense at all. JvR looked really good in the last match sim. I guess we'll wait and see at 5pm

    Either this site or Twitter/X has been temperamental lately when embedding Twitter/X links.

    To ensure the tweet appears correctly, copy the link directly from Twitter/X, paste it here, and wait until the Twitter/X card fully loads before submitting your reply.

    Lately, these links either work perfectly or fail altogether. If you’re having trouble, try clicking into the actual tweet first, then copying the URL from there, rather than from your main feed.

    Another occasional issue is tweets randomly disappearing from threads after some time. This seems to be a Twitter/X glitch, making it difficult to troubleshoot effectively.

    Having said that, it's still far better than Facebook and Instagram, which—for some inexplicable reason—don't allow links to be copied and shared as embedded cards on other websites.

    I don't see how disco is in the team with these ins.  and in the possible wet conditions.

    Go Dees!

    Yeh but something minor may have happened after that announcement, guess that is the problem with back spasms, little tweak can upset it. Better to play it safe than to risk further aggravation. 

    Otherwise don't think you need to be playing mind games about the selection of JvR.

    Guess we'll see come 5pm.

     

    Assuming Billings isn't playing I reckon one or both of the Langdon and Windsor experiments won't be continuing. I expected Billings to be one of our wingers to start the season.

    I can't see a world where XL and Sharp are our 2 primary wingers to enable Langdon to be top 3 or 4 in centre bounce attendances AND Windsor to play half back.

    I hope it's Turner rather than JVR that slides out of the 18 that was listed last night but the MFCSS in me reckons it's the latter. 

    (Although Turner has had an injury prone AFL career to date so he may have sustained a late injury)

    Six new players confirmed debuting this week: AJ, Langford, Lindsay, Sharp, Henderson and (get ready PF) Jeffo.

    That may be a record.

    Bold, aggressive. Dare I say it almost un-Melbourne like and I love it. Signalling a real aggressive intent. Pumped for Round 1 at the best of times but a valve has already been blown on this one. This is peak. Can’t wait to be there. Go You Demons!!!!!

    Interesting shake up from conservative match day selections, but guess that's a little forced with some injuries/suspensions.

    Been told that Turner has been left out of team. Was named “on-ground” last night because if they had named Jeffo or AJ then the surprise of their debut announcement would have been ruined.

    All debutants got told this morning

    JVR, Jeffo, AJ are the 3 key forwards

    T-Mac, Billings and Turner are the emergencies.

    the mini rebuild continues...we copped a lot of flak for a poor season last year but still won 11 games while getting plenty of kids in, better than ending up ancient like Collingwood

    @WERRIDEE you're asleep at the wheel mate.

    Where's our team that has the six newbies included?

    My guess is the 'outs' are Billings, TMac and one of Petty, JvR or ? hasn't come up.

    Does the Sub come from the emergencies or someone named in the final side?

    Tall Emergency list for a wet weather game but I guess it covers all lines.

    Pickett Fence is going to have conniptions today with this news.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
