Good to see Miller, Buckley, CJ and Frawley maintain their spots. We need to give them the chance to develop and in some cases show if they can make it. Now to seasons end is a perfect time to do this.

N.B Did not see your post SS.

yep expected this would be the only change.

Interesting that moloney is in the emergencies, may be a late swap? Holland, Moloney and Garland are the named emergencies.

Ashley McGrath comes in for Colm Begley is the only change the lions have made too.

getting excited now :)

Common sense selections........

Moloney's the only AFL grade small left available, unless you count Pickett. That's the only reason he's named as an emergency.

good to see B. Moloney named as an emergency too... can't be far away from a senior return...

And Miller holding down the Full Forward spot nicely. Who would have thought.

He was named there last week too. Only time I saw him up forward was when Robbo ripped the ball out of his hands for a mark 15m out. Still expect him to have first go at J Brown.

No real surprises - Moloney will probably come in if Bruce doesn't get up, and one of the other two if Carroll doesn't

I just read an article with riley talking to the media today and he said he hoped bruce would be right to play, so yeah your spot on if bruce dont get up moloney will be sure to take his place.

I found another funny quote also by riley, concerning carrol " not sure about nathan, he kind of always looks concussed so its hard to tell" hahah

Happy with the team, although I expected Pickett to be named in the 25 instead of Moloney. Very happy that Moloney is named though, I think he's a good player.

I found another funny quote also by riley, concerning carrol " not sure about nathan, he kind of always looks concussed so its hard to tell" hahah

Haha, gold.

I wonder how they get on - I read on this forum that Riley had told Carroll to ditch the headband.

All will be revealed on the flight tomorrow.

Depending on which emergency travels to Brisbane, we will know whether Bruce or Carroll are in doubt.

Good change. We've run out of players, and now the side can finally settle ;)

Expect Miller to start on Brown, with Newton at FF.

Amazing isn't it :o !!!

That sounds fairly logical........

As good as Bizz has been (named at CHB), he is not really in the same weight division has Brown, unfortunately.

Also it would be the supreme challenge for Miller.

im tipping newton to have a blinder if that [censored] merrett plays on him

Hope so, brought him in to my dream team this week.

On sen greg deenham said he highly doubts bruce will play and the news is he is not over the hammy

Do we know which emergency flew up to Brisbane?

If Bruce is out, I hope Moloney plays. Just to prove to all the doomsayers that he isn't finished at the highest level because of his ongoing OP.

I've heard from a source outside of the media that he won't play either, will be interesting if it's true.

a mate who is at the training just sms me and said-

" Bruce is not here, Garland and moloney training! "

So there ya go

Posted

wow flippen heck is this the most youngest team we have seen during this era?

Posted

Good question Dazzle. I can't remember a younger team running out. There may well have been, but it's lost in the mists of time for me.

Not to mention the amount of games played collectively. Not a hell of a lot.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
