Looks like McDonald in the whites jumper (B team) and Kynan Brown in the Blue (A team) at training.. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Oh for goodness sake...surely they're not even remotely considering dropping our best defender from last week.

    Well Petty is coming back through the reserves and May will be in for Lever so I reckon McDonald stays in.

    Interesting that Petty's confirmed VFL this week because he hasn't played for 4 weeks.

    They've brought back senior players straight back into the side off way longer lay offs.

    A soft drop?

    Photos could be misleading. Laurie and Brown in both white and blue jumpers.

    Petracca and Gawn also in white in one of the photos.

    Could be. Could also be that this is his second concussion this season and they want to see how he pulls up, and given our season is over in terms of finals, there’s no point risking him.

    It’s also possible that they are determined to keep Jeffo and JVR in the seniors for a few more weeks.

    I’ve been guilty of assuming the jumper colours at training indicate selection. But I suspect this is the answer.

    Today, we saw photos of the following:

    Blue - Gawn, Langdon, Oliver, Turner, Fritsch, Trac, Laurie, Bowey, Brown, Windsor

    White - Gawn, Trac, Rivers, Woewodin (albeit these four were white vests over blue jumpers), Campbell, Laurie, Mentha, Billings, TMac

    So Laurie clearly in both blue and white.

    All told, tells us little I would have thought.


    I like that they are persisting with jeffo and Kolt , but I would have like to see X get a rest, or maybe they will make him the sub

    The coaches are clearly seeing something with Sharp that I'm not.

    I'd much rather give Laurie a run.

    I’m surprised Spargo wasn’t chosen ahead of Sharp.

    Reckon they've stamped Bill's card.

    Sharp was very good in the VFL last week, as was Billings and Spargs, all could be a like for like replacement.

    Unlucky for Howes who played a blinder as well

    Big midfield battle coming up, will be a good test

    He got a 3 week rest.


    Sharp will be sub

    He is a good sub option

    Very good changes overall

    Glad Petty has to earn his spot and we are keeping youth in

    I would not say Spargo was very good for Casey last week. 16 disposals for an experienced AFL player in a lower league is, at best good. I’d say he was ok.

    Like a few others, I’m slightly mystified by Sharp’s selection.

    I would have brought back Howes for Sparrow, played him on the wing, done a few other ‘swings and roundabouts’ and trialed Langford as an inside mid / forward (which is where I think his future lies).

    ………. but that’s just me, and others are far better placed than me, to make such a call!

    Out of interest, which defender would you drop for Howes?

    He is being groomed as a backman. When he’s played for the demons several times he hasn’t shown much. So a good game at Casey might not be enough to work his way in

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
