You would not be happy if you missed the squad.

Just released... so lets play which four drop out and who is the sub

Jeffo definitely out and next TMac

Billings for sub? or more likely Lindsay?

Think Billings is in

I'm looking forward to the game and cheering on the boys at the 'G.

Carn The Demons!

    Of the Interchange, you would imagine Billings and Sharp have done enough. Then it's a toss up between Jefferson and Johnson (surprise surprise) and a fourth spot to ... god knows.

    im thinking 

    1 - either jeffo or Johnson - Prefer Jeffo

    2 - Langford and Sharp - In

    3 - Billings and Lindsay - In (Billings 2 be sub)

    4- Henderson and TMac  - No

    Of the extended bench I'm taking Langford for sure. It'll be either Jibba or Lindsay. Maybe AJ. Longest odds with Henderson and Jefferson.

    Interesting to see Hendo in the squad ahead of a few

    I wonder if they’re really considering him with the weather and Koz being out?

    Might be a smoky as sub

    I reckon a Smokey to start. With the rain it makes sense to me. Obviously if kozzie was playing then I wouldn’t care as much with him playing but we seriously need another small in this game

    Heard Jeffo will debut, based on preseason games I didn’t have him in the calculation 

    Heard same Goody and match commitee consider him long term player and need to get games into him! Chandler STILL gets selected on What?? DISCO also veeery lucky!

    My thoughts, we could go small.

    Langford, Lindsay, Billings and Sharp as interchange. 

    Sub Tmac (knows system and gives flexibility)

    HF: Henderson AJ  Sharp

    F: Fritsch   JVR  Chandler 

    R: Gawn  Oliver Petracca

    I/C Langford Sparrow Billings Lindsey

    TMac is not your typical sub unless you are thinking injury sub.

    I think they're desperate for someone to back up Max but you could be right that in view of the weather they might go small.

    This game looks increasingly tough to win

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
