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.

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

    YES AGREE AND TRIPLE DOWN ON THIS Clarry is one of the best Dees EVER TO PUL ON A JUMPER. PERIOD!

    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

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • 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.
