Turner for May is obvious. McVee comes in, I'd make the change for Sharp, but then not sure who gets the sun. Melksham perhaps.

Not sure Sharp deserves to stay in

Personal reasons?

I reckon I know what it is. I’ll DM you.
 

Sorry but fritsch does not deserve a recall after 1 game.

Tomorrow night I better see him chase, not be selfish & not get in the way of other forwards

    Good changes, Fritsch and Melk have never worked inside the same fwd line. But fritta still has to perform or he is out again.

    I do like our fwd line with just 2 talls, especially if we can play like we did v the dockers!

    Can't say I'm thrilled about it either. Not because I don't want him back but we need to set standard of work rate in that forward line.

    Hope he brings it.

    Good changes.

    Only missing 1-2 from the 22 now

    Having Bowey, Windsor, Lindsay, Kolt, McVee, Langford, Pickett in the same team makes a HUGE difference.

    Skill, pace, youth

    One win can make a big big difference

    After strong Round 6 showings, the Dees and Tigers are set for a blockbuster clash, in front of a sell-out crowd. 

    from MFC website, still lots of tickets don’t think it will be close to a sell out??

    Fritta getting dropped was about giving him a kick up the [censored], it was never about him kicking a bag in the magoos

    Thrilled our forward line savant is back

    No idea if he can actually play but having AMW in that mix would be fun

    Would've liked Melk in to tag Vlastuin, and stop the intercept mark, less of an issue with Balta hamstrung by the ankle bracelet after dark.....

    Fritta a perfect opportunity to stand up now!

    Not sure about Fritsch getting an immediate recall after a so-so VFL performance.

    Saying that, if we play like we did against Freo, Fritsch will be one who'll highly benefit.

    Fritsch, was disinterested and lazy last week and he gets a call up???? PARK ME club is rewarding mediocrity NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

    I guess we will see if Fritsch has learnt anything from getting dropped despite not having to earn his spot back in the vfl first. Hopefully just the fact he knows he’s not an automatic selection will be enough. I hope Goodwin has the balls to send him back down if he still has his bad habits.

    With Melksham being managed not ommitted who do you suggest be promoted in the role that Melksham plays or should I take a guess? No forward looked worth anything at Casey last week based on what I saw but a role needs to be filled and the Fritsch will know if he does not perform he will be back out with Melksham back the following week. He should be given a defensive job on Vlaustin and be purely assessed against his ability to execute it.

    I am with you played 3 quarters of poor football at Casey and back in. He had better get a couple tomorrow night.

    He cannot play that role, there is a hardly a defensive bone in his body.

    Why would you play him down back he would be a disaster.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
