Was super keen for the club to draft Latrelle, excited to watch him play his first game. Cant wait!

"See Trelly on the Telly" is a fairly dumb way for the club to promote our first home game for the year.

Nevertheless, good luck to Latrelle. I hope it is the first of many games for the club.

I have officially changed my tips for Sunday.
The MFC will win, the Pickett Boys will run Rampant
Big Game for JVR..He must Lead out and Hold his Marks....

they could only kick 9 goals against a depleted Pies backline

One for the "what are they saying down at Moorabbin" files...

"Looking at their side, their forward line definitely has some weapons. Mihocek, Van Rooyen, Fritsch, Melksham - there's some goal-kicking power there and with Kosi and Latrelle Pickett, there are players that could really cause us issues inside 50.

Huge responsibility on the midfield to step up here. They have a young midfield, we need to stamp our authority on that part of the game. If we let them get on top they could cause us a lot of headaches with that forward line"

It's been a minute since I've seen anyone have our forward line as an area for concern 😱

If he does a ‘Celly’ the media will lose it

The irony is if we didn’t have Steele, i’d be worried

 

Expected interchange (IMO): Pickett, Culley, McDonald, Rivers, Melksham.

EMG: Heath, Sharp & Tholstrup.


Quick and young it is!

Long live the revolution

Go Demons.

The fifth bench spent Is perfect for an underdone Melksham, who can ideally play about 50% of game time.

Petty a little lucky to get a gig if his role on Tom Lynch (2.3 in a half) iwas an indication of things to come.

T Mac, Heath and Sharp to miss is my tip.

Speed kills! I love the approach King has taken 💨

Thought we'd see Melky as the 5th man ahead of Sharp, clearly prioritised speed though

That is a running side, and I like it. We might need all the legs we can get in the last quarter.

I’m so pumped for the G on Sunday now!

Go Dees!!!

Beg to differ.

I think he’s one of the best performers of the preseason

Easily our strongest team ( on paper ) since 2021

I love how Kozzy has evolved and the confidence he shows off field as well as on.

I know he supposedly wouldn’t want it, but it’d be awesome to see him as the next captain. He has the charisma of Gawn and the toughness of Viney. Unpredictable and genuine.

Side note- think the club handled his personal issues with class. Shut it down and moved on before it was even a conversation.

Culley a shoo-in. As will be Sharp as we need his run

Just sayin.....

Delighted to see Latrelle Pickett make his debut

best of luck young man

Edited by BDA

Going to be warm so having a quick nice team will be handy especially if it hits the deck in our forward 50.

Sharp, Chandler, Pickett x2 gives us speed and running ability.

 

Gutsy from the selectors. 5 on the bench and not a tall among them. Bit of a statement, all that talk of speed isn’t just talk.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
