Think not picking JVR for this game and relentlessly picking Melksham is an indictment on our selection panel. Yet it doesn’t surprise me. Goodwin has his favourites.

    INS – Melksham, Turner

    Fascinating. No JVR - who gives Maxy a chop out?

    Happy with the ins,

    Jvr needs another couple good weeks against decent opposition.

    Now with mcvee back it frees up rivers or Windsor to shift mid. Id get Caleb to the wing and Langford to play majority clarry minutes in the guts

    Let’s hope that’s the last we see of Fullarton

    Would prefer Turner back to intercept and Petty fwd/ruck

    Petty I'd assume, he's actually not a zero in there.

    Well one change makes sense. Assuming Disco back and Rivers into the pivot from Clarry.

    The other one? Fritsch and Melksham in the same forwardline and no back up ruck/forward in JVR, Johnson or Campbell. It’s not like they can build form at Casey with no game.

    • Shocked 1

    It would have been good to see JVR build on his 5 goals but that'll have to wait until next week because Casey have a bye.

    I don't know how playing a 33 year old who isn't in stellar form himself over our most promising key forward makes sense.

    Don’t think JVR and Melk were really competing for the same spot.

    With our new game plan, I think we need Melk with his great kicking and fast ball movement.

    But I am surprised we are going so short up front

    Also Tom Mac.


    Turner forward or back?

    Not a fan of a single key forward and Eagles have a tall forward line.

    Rivers presumably gets full midfield minutes

    Not if we play Turner forward?

    Absolutely staggered that JvR wasn't selected. Wtf

    I’m surprised too

    possible though we didn’t rate AJ and JVR dominating in a 120 pt smashing. JVR has been poor all year. I don’t him earning his place over a couple of weeks

    Would have picked AJ though

    Disco

    I know I'm being impatient but teams aren't available for view on the MFC or AFL app, nor any other games except for tonight. Anyone else having the same problem?

    im not sure the teams are final. The AFL site still has "Full teams to be announced". Some clubs with TBC etc.

    Surprised Fritta still in the side, not really.

    Surprised Melk in the side, not really.

    Surprised no proper back up for Maxy, not really.

    Not really surprised by any selection or non selection really. SSDW.

    True but then it’s just old mates May and Tom at the back against the tall Eagles

    I can hear a hamstring popping already

    Max has had a 9 day break, settle down people!!

    I’m sure one of Petty, Turner & Tmac will give him a chop out

    Wish they could give Laurie a go, would’ve been a good chance with Clarrie out 35 poss last week & 2 goals all be it against very ordinary opposition

    Wishing clarry all the best.

    Thought we’d get Turner and Laurie in. Little perplexed but go team

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
