    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

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

    Drop fritsch. He is so lazy off the ball.

    Should never have been brought back in after that 1 week

    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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • 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.
