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.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
