We have now won a game so what's our best line up moving forward? Is it the team that beat the Dockers. Is the out of form van Rooyen and Fritsch still in our best 23?

    You've probably selected that side based on previous form and not where all the players are now at and where they're likely to be able to get back to going forward. In saying that, depth isn't great.

    It's too early to tell. What might be our best line up now is unlikely to be our best line up by the end of the year.

    I hope we can get a look at Adams and Sestan at AFL level soon.

    I think Turner should be in our best side too.

    Definitely Turner.

    I'd love Tholstrup to be clearly in the best 22 as part of that change you referred to over the year.

    For me Melksham is nowhere near our best side.

    The JVR call is a bold one - centre half forward? Why not give it a try. He’d have to work a lot harder and build up his aerobic agility.

    I've NFI how JvR is expected to learn his craft as a forward if he's rucking for up to 10 minutes each quarter. Fullerton had 6 hitouts and went OK. IMO he stays until JvR shows a bit at Casey (not rucking).

    Only Fullerton or AJ to ruck.

    Melksham ensures the ball comes to ground. If JVR and others can start to do that, great. Until then, Melksham stays.

    Why next year? This could be our team in 2 weeks. Spargo and Sharp disappointing yesterday. As small forwards they must take advantage of goal scoring opportunities

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
