    My point was a back up for Max was selected. Luker Kentfield. It was probably a close call with Luker chosen as better option as a Fwd/Ruck as opposed to Heath as a Ruck/Fwd. A logical call in my view.

    I fully expect Heath to be picked R.1 , despite not impressing the 2nd half today.

    It was a long time between drinks but Nate Pipicelli finally gets the first for the Demons since half time. In the meantime, the Tigers have been treating the Demons like witches hats in a training routine.

    Taylor’s disposal hasn’t been overly convincing missing short kicks

    Missed a couple in the 4th but other than that his disposal was good

    Casey will be able to add McAdam, Campbell, White, Onley, Johnson, Henderson, AMW, and possibly Jefferson at some stage, with Laurie, Sharp, and Tholstrup when not required for the seniors.

    Is Pipi Celli any relation to Leon Celli?

    I wouldn’t expect Heath to be picked.

    King comes from the Geelong school of one or even no specialist rucks. And usually no more than 2 tall forwards. Hawkins/Cameron or Neale/Cameron

    The game plan involves multiple talls behind the ball but a super open forward line with as much speed and space as possible.

    Based on that I suspect it will be Mihocek, JVR and Fritsch. Perhaps Melk if there’s no one better for the 5th bench spot but that depends on how well Melk is covering the ground.

    If Jeffo was healthy he’d be the 3rd tall because he’s so mobile he doesn’t clog the forward line. Luker was a chance too but he had to win his spot with a strong performance against the Tigers. Heath as a pure ruck is a completely different scenario.

    At a guess @WERRIDEE it will be the following...

    18. Melksham

    19. Taylor

    20. Matthews

    26. Adams

    27. Heath

    38. Berry

    39. Mentha

    40. Onley

    No AMW? It has been a extremely slow recovery for a young guy post ACL.

    I assume Gawny is not prepared to share ruck duties (again) if Heath is playing in this game. Shame. I thought King might want to use 2 rucks against TDK and Marshall but I guess Gawny has the final say on that

    I would have thought that Luker was to be selected round 1, but of course he won't.

    So I would guess that Max the Younger should get a go - we surely know by now that using JVR as the back up ruck does nothing for his forward craft.

    Correlation doesn't equal causation.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
