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

    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.

    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
