This club will do anything to not play Billings or Laurie 😅

Good luck Culley, I'm not sure a slow midfielder that's a below average kick is the answer to our problems but it's nice to see a change anyway. He can take a mark and runs both ways which is better than most of our mids.

Edit: probably being a bit harsh, hope he smashes it in his debut game against his former side.

    The AFLW is a tough sell.

    I was surprised to read that the average attendance for the Women's EPL (probably the most successful league) is not much more than 2,000.

    The NRL seem to be doing it a little better.

    Women's cricket took 50 odd years to reach its present stage and below international level it's a media desert

    Yes, attendances dont match the resources the AFL and our club put into the game. True on 50 years for crivket. I went to an Ashes game played in Bulleen in the late 60s. It always had players of standard.

    Jai Culley making his debut!

    Debutant Announcement 📣🚨

    That's great news, and something that should have happened last week (if not earlier).

    But ... having sat out last week as the carry over emergency, Jai now hasn't played for two weeks. How is that optimal preparation for playing your first game? Surely we should be rewarding players for good performances when they happen, not several weeks down the track. Do we actually consider the consequences of the decisions we make, or just throw darts at the wall and see what comes?

    I agree that a debut for Adams also makes sense (and should have happened last week). Brown is the other one who deserves a game this week.

    IN: Jai but Out: who?
    Assume - Sharp is in for Spargo as Sub.

    It’s criminal how we were knocked out of finals contention at the half way point of the season with the second easiest draw.

    With St Kilda, North and West Coast twice on top of beating Brisbane and Sydney, arguably should have beaten Collingwood, we should be going into the game this week with our finals hopes still alive, but instead, we face a “must win match” against the 1 win wooden spooner to save Goodwin’s job..

    The mere fact that this is labeled as a “must win” says all there is to know..

    Jai Culley (career w/l record: 0-12) to debut for Melbourne on Saturday against the 1-18 WCE for whom he notched those losses

    He’s going 0-13 isn’t he?

    That is miles off the mark. I know a lot of women who think the AFLW needs a lot of work, is currently almost unwatchable and question the true reasoning behind establishing the league.

    Personally, I couldn’t care either way.

    I’d like to see Laurie get a good run rather than be the sub however surely Jefferson comes back in for a game against a team with an ordinary backline. Perfect scenario to build more confidence in the lad.

    I reckon Jeffo would get more confidence at Casey. he has looked average at AFL level

    Bringing back Sharp ought to do the trick! Why didn’t Goody think of that earlier…

    • Haha 2

    Making Spargo the scapegoat and dropping him after he only played half a quarter as the sub (and he laid a good tackle in that as well) seems like an odd move.

    If Culley is the sub, I’ll spew up.

    Not really. Sharp is a much better sub option. Spargo is a good inclusion in your top 22 in a team that is performing well. He compliments others. In a team performing poorly he is useless. It's no surprise his best years were 2021 and 2018 (then again they were most of the teams' best years).

    We drop a 46 point lead to a bottom 4 team and the only changes we make are resting a 19 year old and omitting the sub, yet I'm not surprised.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      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.
