He's 19, and will be a fantastic acquisition for Melbourne over the years to come. How can you base that on a handful of games!? FWIW its too early to make calls on a 19 year old who is no where near fully developed.

i agree with you. and it is interesting to note that he is only year and a half younger than newton, and has played more games (17 all up). it amazing the number of people willing to write off young KPP when we have no other prospects. everyone expects them to dominate straight away.

    Yes, and quick fixes just don't happen once kids are just drafted. They rarely do. Judd being the obvious exception to that rule.

    We need Miller back in, if fit. Who else? Jonesy I reckon can comeback in, but who do you drop? Bartram? Valenti? Bell? Who?

    B: WHEATLEY, MARTIN, WHELAN

    HB: C.JOHNSON, WARNOCK, BUCKLEY

    C: BRUCE, DUNN, MORTON

    HF: MARIC, BATE, DAVEY

    F: P.JOHNSON, GREEN, SYLVIA

    FOLL: JAMAR, MCDONALD, BARTRAM

    IC: VALENTI, WONAEAMIRRI, BELL, FRAWLEY

    EMERG: WHITE, YZE, JONES

    I would give Miller at least 1 more week to get over his hammy.

    One other consideration might be Ricky Petterd.

    As far as I'm aware, there's been no reason given for him not being selected in today's Sandringham team. I'm speculating but perhaps if he isn't injured then the thinking might be to play him on Friday night rather than play today and make his return on a 5 day break.

    Good point Jack, I hadn't thought of the shorter week, I didn't think he (petterd) was injured all tho I wondered if he was sore.

    Should probably wait for the Sandy game today, but on the surface it seems pretty simple for me

    Out: Garland Davey

    In: Jones Frawley

    Out: Garland Davey Martin

    In: Petterd Yze Carroll

    scarlett 95kg, harley 95kg, Hunt 100kg, Mackie 84kg, Taylor 91kg. Egan 101kg = Av 94kg

    Garland 85kg, Martin 97kg, Warnock 93kg, C Johnson 87kg, Whelan 84kg, Wheately 87kg = Av 88kg

    Thats the difference between a top backline and ours. We need to get some serious kilograms on to our backmen. THat is atleast 2 pre-seasons worth.

    Ackland kicked 7 on Carroll

    ummmm i think thats a slight concern dont you?

    hopefully Miller is back... i can't believe people don't think we need to add something to our forward line this week...

    the cats defence will destroy us if we don't have a strong target back there... even if it's just dutchy sitting in the square, with aussie roving to him, it will be a much better option than pagans paddock with Colin Sylvia playing Wayne Carey, especially against the cats...

    Out: Garland, Aussie

    In: Miller, Yze.

    YZe cant do much more than he is, deserves a chance. Its the perfect stage for him I think.

    We could be caught short down back so I'd keep Bell at the expense of Aussie.

    Out: Garland (hamstring)

    In: Miller

    I think Davey will play and Jones will spend one more week at Sandy.

    Wish I could get rid of Bell but Petterd is still out.

    BP: Whelan Martin Bell

    FP: Stokes Lonergan Johnson

    HB: CJohnson Warnock Wheatley

    HF: Gamble Mooney Selwood

    C: Green Dunn Bruce

    C: Corey Ling Kelly

    HF: Morton Miller Bate

    HB: Rooke Scarlett Mackie

    FP: PJohnson Sylvia Wona

    BP: Harley Hunt Enright

    R: Jamar Mcdonald Davey

    R: Ottens Ablett Bartel

    Inter: Valenti, Bell, Maric, Buckley

    Inter: Blake, Varcoe, Prismall

    *forgetting someone from Geelong.

    Milburn out will help us a fair bit. And is more reason to bring in Miller.

    Ive got Ablett coming back, lets hope not.

    Assuming Miller is unfit:

    Out - Garland (inj.)

    In - Frawley

    Out - Davey (inj.)

    In - Petterd (if fit)

    Emergencies: White, Carroll, Bode

    Jones didn't have a great game at Sandy, and thus doesn't deserve to come straight back in.

    White could be handy rucking with Jamar, so we can leave PJ up forward to give us an extra target. Considering White was BOG for Sandy, I wouldn't be surprised to see him come in.

    As a matchup this one didn't work because Aklands combination of height & legspeed was too good for Carroll.. & Lamb.

    Martin would have been perhaps a good matchup, you get that. or maybe Holland should have tried him out.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
