Okay, it's early, but lets have a think....

Green is out.

Davey is in.

Other changes? White? Frawley? Bode? Petterd?

Nathan Carroll is a WA boy, might like to play at home....

    out Bruce (age 28)? That would leave Whelan (28) & Wheatley (26) as our only players over 26. I know we're blooding youth, looking to the future, but I think, especially with Green gone, Bruce is essential this Sunday.

    Bruce out, I don't think so.

    Didn't you say you were going to make yourself scarce until the end of the season?

    Stop being a dick, Y_M.

    If Junior comes up it will have to be...

    In - Davey, McDonald

    Out - Bell, Green (inj)

    Petterd to get the nod if Junior doesn't take his spot.

    Need to get Jones out of the midfield this week. He is stale. I'd put him on the HFF and see if he can repeat his four goal effort in Brisbane.

    B: C Johnson, Warnock, Whelan

    HB: Bruce, Martin, Garland

    C: Davey, McDonald, Whealtey

    HF: Bate, Miller, Jones

    F: Sylvia, Newton, Wonaeamirri

    Foll: Jamar, Buckley, Valenti

    Int: Bartram, Dunn, P Johnson, Morton

    How did Petterd go last week? Did he impress?

    I think I read somewhere (might have been Hannabal's observations) that Petterd's good work off half back was the main reason Sandy stayed competitive. I also read that his class was once again on display for all to see. Exciting to have him on the way back. Tie him up on a 3 year deal before those GC mugs come a-knockin.

    He cant, its in his veins.

    No reason not to keep it simple.

    Out: Green

    In: Davey

    I wouldn't be fussed to see Petterd come in either. I can see the merits in both selecting him and leaving him at Sandy. (Hrmm, that sentence doesn't really read very well...)

    It makes sense.

    He's missed a lot of football. Id give him another week to get some confidence and play him in Melbourne the following week if form permits.

    Yeah. If this week was in Melbourne, I'd put Petterd in. Don't know if you want to bugger his confidence by playing him straight up against a parochial Wanchor crowd.

    Why Bell?

    Already fought his way back into the team. Had 19 touches at 94%, 6 tackles and played pretty well on BJ

    I don't think he will be a part of the MFC in the future, I would like to see Petterd given a run. Given those stats maybe I'm being a bit harsh but BJ isn't in the greatest of form anyway, and when I was at the match I didn't think Bell was playing particularly well.

  • Quote

    bell got dropped, did his work and has come back and played a good game. why would he be dropped?

    davey for green is obvious. if mcdonald is ready to come back he will probably get a run but given the way we have made players come through sandy this year, and given he has been out for 3 weeks now, it wouldnt surprise me if he has to have a run there too...

  • Quote

    Fair enough then.

    Out of interest, do you see Wheels as a part of our future? If so, for how long?

    And what about Newton?

    It is tough to give ins and outs for our team, they're all 12!!

    I don't agree with putting a possible debutant as an emergency.

    I say, make him be ready, then when he gets there, start him on

  • Quote

    You are indeed right. But who else do we chuck there, Yze?

    Guess I'll go with Bode then.

    Your talking out of Uranus! :lol:;) , BJ is an all-aust who is not that out of form. He needs to be covered. Bell did a good job. 95% efficiency, deserves another game. That's what Bailey has asked his players, to go back to Sandy and learn their trade, come back in and set them a job. Just on Bell - how did Brad Johnson go? He had no influence.

    How did Petterd go last week?

    If you want to bring him in, and drop someone for an average game perhaps Wonaemirri or Newton. But not Bell.

    Bell played a good game. I dont think his needed though, doesnt have the quality to be in the best 22 each week.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
