Petty should be dropped. Rarely have I been so disappointed in lack of effort

    An even crack from the maggots would be a nice change.

    I've been saying the same for nigh on 12 months.

    His two kicks tonight included a Cats out on the full.

    Club should raise this at highest levels but won’t because club admin is amateurish

    Petty had a stinker, one of our key backs seem to every week. Could drop him, or could go 4 tall backs and move Rivers on ball.

    Sharp’s no good. Spargo should play a month at Casey so they can pick him for full games in form and match fit.

    JVR is just ordinary and not getting any better. I’d rather big AJ.

    Langford’s not ready.

    Viney continues to get worse.

    I’d probably go:

    Out: Sharp, Langford, JVR, Spargo

    In: Mentha, Lever, AJ, Laurie

    Sharp - omg

    Sparrow - Petracca’s mate, so won’t get dropped

    If all our players tried as hard as Sparrow we’d at least be a chance. He did his job tonight. Took Holmes completely out of the game. Until we get some reinforcements no way he gets dropped given we’re picking guys who have no impact and can’t even stick to a task.

    Petty has to be dropped for Lever.

    Spargo and Sharp both have to be dropped. They are both absolutely useless right now. Both need to go find some VFL form. I doubt Lindsay will be fit so we'll have to find two replacements and I don't want Billings to be one of them. Laurie maybe, but IMO he's in the same basket as Sharp, Spargo and Billings.

    Too early for Culley?

    He didn't just "do his job", he did a great job. The anti-Sparrow bias on here is embarrassing right now.

    Can't drop Langford. He does all the right things, even if he fatigued late. Our best last week, had a good first half tonight, is the future. I certainly wouldn't be dropping or even resting him if the replacement in your list there is Laurie.

    Oh yeah - his impact was profound

    Out: Petty, Oliver, Spargo

    In: Lever, Lindsay, Fullerton

    Out: Petty, Sharp, Spargo, Fritsch

    Ins: Lever, Laurie, Billings, Fullarton

    I know the mere suggestion of Billings will be rebuffed. Maybe you look at Sestan or Mentha as well. Kynan Brown maybe gets another chance.

    Outs:

    Sharp - good lord never again. If Goodwin is fair dinkum, he never puts on a Melbourne jumper again.. ever.

    Spargo - What on earth are we doing here...any other club would let him rot in the VFL except us. This is one of the more bizarre team selections going around in my time supporting the dees with how much they rate Spargo over the past few weeks.

    Petty - Yo Adelaide.. can we do that trade??

    Ins:

    Lever and two suburban footballers that will have a genuine crack.

    I rarely think we ever lose a match at selection, nor do I buy into the "Goody picks his faves" conspiracy theory.

    But there's just no way I will be able to stomach seeing Spargo get another game. Not until he goes back to Casey and earns it. Right now he's a slow, possibly overweight, liability with no asset (don't tell me he can kick - that's useless if you can't get the ball in the first place).

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
