    Melksham, Viney, Petty in.

    You could make a case for half a dozen to be dropped, mainly from the forward line, but hard to see Jefferson staying. For the rest ...

    Either fritsch or van rooyen to be dropped. Disgraceful we couldn't get a goal between them.

    Sorry but Oliver needs to be dropped. Provided nothing today.

    Jefferson definitely dropped.


    Either something is not right with May or he’s a shadow of his former self and I query giving him an extra year in 2026

    Plugger Mac is by some margin the best tall defender

    Out - Fritsch, Kolt and Jefferson

    Maybe Oliver or Lindsay as the sub at the Gabba

    I thought Clarry did well on Newcombe

    wouldn’t drop or sub him

    Partly all of the above, but you only get AA May when Lever is in the side.

    Suspect that the recruiting team are already working overtime desperately trying to find us a key forward. Or a key back, so Turner/Petty can stay forward.

    In: Petty, Viney, Melksham, Laurie

    Out: Jefferson, Fritsch, Oliver, Tholstrup

    I'm not a huge wrap for Sharp but at least he is fit and will give repeat efforts. Tholstrup doesn't look quite ready and not sure why we rushed him in off injury.

    Doubt Oliver gets dropped but was a liability today with some of his efforts.

    Give jeffo at least a month in the VFL to find and consolidate form.

    Reward Laurie for being one of Casey's best consistently, even if only as sub.

    Time to manage May and Gawn. Melksham is not the future. Unless there is a gameplan reason time to try someone else.

    Foward line solution... Like the coach I have no idea

    May is getting a bit long in the tooth but he was fine today TBH. Bigger problems than his form.

    Jefferson put in a stinker after a puzzling selection to begin with. I want him to succeed but I can’t see it after that. That was almost papers stamped-level bad.

    Can’t have Fritsch playing that badly and keep his spot. JVR is a worry but I think he can contribute as second ruck again.

    In. Viney, Melksham, Petty

    Out. Jefferson, Fritsch and Spargo/Sharp/Tholstrup

    Can see us putting up a good show at the Gabba and still losing by 40+.

    I’d go a triple change of key forwards:

    JVR, Fritsch, Jeffo all out. AJ, Melk, Petty in.

    Don’t think either Sharp or Kolt are up for it right now.

    Maybe Kynan Brown as sub.

    Now confirmed by Goody post match that Viney entered protocols on Thursday and won't play against Brisbane next week.

    100 percent agree. He looks confused out there. Slow to kick it in. Loses his opponent all the time.

    Just trying to understand how you would even have this as a consideration… Lindsay is already so important & so good. Strange one Nicko

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.
