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.

    Hoped for May. But surprise Sharp. Is back but he did play well for Casey

    I'm glad we drafted Howes for the Casey team. I mean, [censored] the future, am I right?

    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

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
