    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.

    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).

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
