    Maybe hope their bathwater is tastier than ours?

    There's certainly a lot more of it!

    Need height down back but not sure we’ve got any that will actually stop them. It would be Adams for Howes and he’d have to play on Naughton and let Disco intercept. We probably just go Disco on Naughton and hope Howes and Rivers can offer some chop out.

    Can’t do much for the midfield. Not sure there’s any need to swap the starting small forwards. JVR isn’t going well but not sure this is a Jeffo game.

    I’d go Lindsay sub again and have Sharp at Casey because he needs full games.

    Baptism of fire for Adams to go up against Darcy/Naughton

    True, would be a tough first game but there are no easy ones left and it’d be good to see what he’s got, with T Mac, Turner and Howes to help him

    I don’t there is any chance Petty goes back after playing so well up fwd. He was our focal point all game

    The last time Dees and Dogs met after thumping wins in their previous games...

    I agree, Petty has played forward all year and probably won't be shifted. English is also in fair form and will make it harder for Gawn to float back.

    True

    Would big Campbell be a chance?

    Backline is a concern without May and an in-form Lever. But agree with previous comments, probably not the game to bring in Adams.

    Well that cancels out half the team. Not sure we can field a team in the next few weeks

    Just Lindsay in for Sharp.

    Best of luck Disco and T Mac, you’re gonna need it!

    Looking forward to us returning to the ‘G after two weeks at that soulless stadium which I refuse to set foot in. Will be there in full voice - win, lose or draw.

    Thank God this game is at the MCG. That drops at least 8 goals off what the Dogs can score.

    Tommy Mac on Darcy, Turner on Naughton.

    If Darcy gets off the leash, swing Petty back onto him. He's got the height.

    Not convinced we're gonna win this one.

    This, perhaps?...

    Who knows with selection ? It’s a lottery

    Their forward weapons

    Darcy. Prefer Petty to play back on him but Goody will keep him forward, so it’s probably Tmcd

    Naughton. Probably Turner

    West. McVee.

    Midfield. Bont. Libba. Richards. Kennedy. Sanders. Williams

    Versus

    Oliver Trac jv7 Kozzzzy Langdon Langford Windsor

    Big matchup in midfield

    Defence. Runners. Dale. JJ. Freijah

    Need to stop Dale we let too many HBF run and run and kick and run etc etc

    Chandler Sparrow Fritsch need to tighten up on their rebound

    Defence. Talls. Lobb Busslinger O’Donnell Cleary

    Can JVR and Petty and Melksham have any influence ?

    Miscellaneous. Bramble McNeil Poulter. Vdm. Dogs weakness or strength is also their 20-23. Dees can identify this also.

    I’m happy to take you on. I’m betting we win 1 perhaps 2 of the last 3

    • 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.
