Stiff on Turner. Thought he showed a lot last year - much more than Petty - after never playing forward before that.

Hope he gets another shot, or if not, I hope we try to make him a defender again.

He's sick according to the website

    Turner has been withdrawn due to illness, according to the MFC website.
    One man's misfortune is another's opportunity. El Jefe makes the team and Johnson the bench. Let's see what you can do.

    Looked like Kolt had a mask on (under the chin) so might have been a couple sick?

    Ahh fair enough, missed that.

    Opportunity for Jeffo then... knowing he has to take it or someone is breathing down his neck for the spot.

    I’m sure Disco will get another Turn(o) 

     

    I have been waiting for this moment since I created the username tbh

    It’s genuinely exciting and I reckon watching the Tigers should give us all encouragement for what’s coming up. Sharp has experience, you can say the same for Johnson and Henderson and Langford and Lindsay are high, ready to play draftees and Jefferson appears to have shown enough to get his chance. I say bring it on, I’d much rather be here than where Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon are.

    They did show their 1-wood of overlap running and linking by hand.  All well and good but the conditions at the G on Sunday will not favour this.

    Why? If you have the right cattle and they’re fit I reckon you could take an overlap running game anywhere. And anytime.

    I don’t know much about Henderson… what’s he good at? What role will he play on Sunday? Our forward line feels stodgy - hoping he’s good quick and accurate at the drop of the ball

    Filthy that Tom Green is playing. Surely he'll be cooked early leaving Clarry and Trac to dominate clearances.

    Bit harsh picket. In the wet, you want strong second efforts for when the ball hits the deck which I think Johnson delivers in spades

    Tend to agree, IHW. Johnson will also clear (physically) those gathering opposition packs in the wet, thus enabling first and second efforts for the mighty Dees, with bumps, shepherds and blocks. Tough nut time, mongrel motivations. Feels good already.

    I can tell you all Goody’s thought process.

    Kids last night beat Carlton. Carlton thumped GWS in preseason. Therefore kids will beat GWS. It’s flawless logic.

    I’m excited to see how the new breed go and am pumped that J Billings won’t play.

    The average age of Sunday's listed players - 25.5 - is over 2.5 years younger than the team Collingwood fielded against GWS last weekend (28.2). There are 15 players under 28, and 8 over. 

    • Under 23: 8 players
    • 23 to 27: 7
    • 28 to 29: 5 (Fritsch, Lever, Langdon, Petracca, Salem)
    • Over 30: 3 (Viney, May, Gawn)

    No knock on any of the debutants and super pumped to see them all out there but I'm perplexed about leaving Disco out. 

    After that Gold Coast game at the end of last year where he made Sam Collins look like an U12 defender, all summer i've been pumped to see Disco rip it apart this year. 

    Obviously i'm sure he won't be out of the side for long but still i'm surprised at his omission.

    I might be wrong but this is definitely a changing of the guard moment. This will be a genuine journey. We might surprise but people should temper their expectations.

    Turner ill makes sense. He is ahead of Jefferson obviously.

    Can the Billings hate end? It’s so unbecoming. He is depth. He is not going to affect the result in any meaningful way - if we lose, you will know that our best players didn’t do what they needed to do.

    How many of the debutants will kick goals? Jeffo definitely.

    Totally agree about Billings.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
