Lever is listed on the ground but isn't listed as an "in". I'm confused. Shouldn't be listed as an inclusion?

    Spargo broken scapula. I broke my right scap in a bike stack. It’s super hard to brake as it’s covered in muscle. Must’ve been a big whack.

    There were two ...just sayin ' 😉

    TMac not included confirms that he was indeed omitted last week, as per team selection list at the time.

    He was not "rested". He was dropped.

    I tend to agree.

    They don't want to get this path wrong.

    You need physicality in your team and on every line, he brings that in spades.

    Team orientated, selfless and can knock a few skittles down when the occasion arises.

    His confidence will continue to grow and you never know he might bob up and take a couple of towering grabs and kick a couple of snags in the accompanying months.

    Agreed. I would certainly like to see him in our team against pies. I'm not saying AJ is an enforcer but he could be if required. It's been a while since we have had players that dish a bit out. So he needs to play against the Saints.

    Jvr is probably a better choice but AJ isn't just there for his looks and marking ability.

    Vineys always dependable to stick up for his mates and Melksham certainly doesn't lack ticker.

    So if Viney plays forward it would make defenders very nervous.

    I'm tired of seeing Cwood rough us up. Time to give a bit back and see how they like it.

    AJ is certainly the bloke that could do it. I think he may be a gentle giant but only a fool would test him.

    Team selection this week proves one thing

    That I myself have NFI of what’s going on.

    It’s well past my logic. Go Dee’s

    What’s so hard to understand about this week’s extended squad?

    Perhaps, Adams in the squad rather than JMAC. JMAC was unlucky on form to be dropped.

    Admittedly T Mac was a bit stiff to get omitted, but we swapped Lever for T Mac. A tall for a tall. Maybe it’s a sign Adams is getting a little closer, competition for spots is healthy.

    This is very easy to pick. Viney in for Spargo. That’s it.

    Bench will be Turner McVee Rivers and AJ.

    Sharp sub, or if they want to get a full game into him at Casey, Laurie a sub smokey.

    I'm guessing Adams is back up for Lever in case he doesn't get up.

    So does tom mcdonald play for casey this week?

    Unless he's injured, yes. Not an emergency.

    He's ahead of Adams, but you can't have guys not playing each week because they're emergency, so Tom drops back to at least keep up his match fitness.

    How could Sharp NOT be in the starting 22?? If he aint the sub and Laurie gets a gig... selection is STUFFED!

    I reckon the entire channel 7 team will be there as it is a designated CH 7 game.

    The Foxtel calling team till be calling from a studio aside from the designated boundary rider who will be at the game.

    Apparently the callers at the studio have access to vision that the viewer doesn't while they're watching the game live.

    Garry Lyon admitted on radio earlier this year that he hadn’t appreciated how good Tom Barrass was until he saw him live, as he’d only seen him on TV when he played in Perth.

    Studio-based commentary is sub-standard. Foxtel know that but don’t care.

    That’s right, bing. He said he was dropped and he knows he’s gonna have to work hard to get to his 250th this year.

    Because he’s shown next to nothing when he’s played from the start mate.

    His energy shines through when he comes on for a quarter when the opposition’s tiring.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
