Next Weeks Team


Jerry Lundergard

Recommended Posts

It will be interesting that now we have all but secured last place, and got ourselves a priority pick, will the team picked be one the coaches think is our strongest possible team with a view to next year, or will there be a few farewell games?

White looks like he'll get another game due to injuries, however i'd like to see us put in the like of Petterd, Maric and even Grimes if he plays well tommorrow. If that means Yze misses out, then so be it.

This week team is:

Backs: M.Whelan, S.Martin, C.Garland

Half backs: J.McDonald, M.Warnock, P.Wheatley

Centreline: S.Buckley, C.Bruce, M.Bate

Half forwards: B.Green, C.Sylvia, A.Wonaeamirri

Forwards: J.White, B.Miller, M.Newton

Followers: M.Jamar, C.Morton, N.Jones

Interchange: D.Bell, A.Yze, C.Bartram, L.Dunn

After strikes out the spectators this week we left with:

Backs: M.Whelan, S.Martin, C.Garland

Half backs: J.McDonald, M.Warnock, P.Wheatley

Centreline: S.Buckley, C.Bruce, M.Bate

Half forwards: B.Green, C.Sylvia, A.Wonaeamirri

Forwards: J.White, B.Miller, M.Newton

Followers: M.Jamar, C.Morton, N.Jones

Interchange: D.Bell, A.Yze, C.Bartram, L.Dunn

After that, we still have Buckley & Jones (can't hit targets), Miller & Bate (can't mark) and Bartram (can't do anything).

How about just putting all kids on the park next week?

Garland to play on Richo on a wing.

Maric to play Yze's role 100 times more effectively

Petterd to play Bate's half forward role

Meeson in for White

Dutchy in his farewell game will replace Newton

Bode in for Bartram, lol well it's not like he could play worst than Clint.

I agree with Bailey.

Yeah i thought he was far from our worst, at least he took the game on occasionally, everyone else was happy to sit back and wait to cough it up.

Until yesterday, i was all for giving White and Yze a farewell game V Richmond but both were pathetic yesterday. When the team is doing poorly you look to your veterans to give the team a lift and they were nowhere to be found, if we still give them that game i won't kick up a s-storm but it's not my preference.

As a side note, i don't think White did himself any favours for getting a contract with another club next year.

Both played to the form they have shown over recent years.

White could have burnt on the ground and it would not change a thing about his football future. He is finished.

With PJ out, White will play again unless injured. Meesen is not in the Sandy side today so I think he is no hope of playing next week. Yze should go if Maric is available. No in fact Yze should just go.

Bate and Newton will not be dropped. Given we have signed Newton for 2 more years I cant see why we wont play him against the Tigers.

Bode wont get a run and he is finished at MFC. Holland would be lucky to get a recall.

OUT: Newton, Bate, Yze, White

I'd love to see Holland get a game. He's a veteran who deserves a send off simply because we know he will give it his all from the first bounce to the end. The same can't be said for Yze or Newton. Maric surely returns (school permitting), Petterd to get Bate's spot.

Maric for Wonna - he was worse than Yze. (In fact he has had a shocking 5/6 weeks; not good signs.)

Valenti for Jones

White will play - no alternative. Maybe Holland for Newton. Maybe Petterd for Bartram

Bailey singled out Bell & Whelan yesterday as 'trying hard'.

shocking yes, but what can you expect, there arent many 19y-o kids, coming to the big city for the first time would be able to stand up to the pressure of AFL football, he is a rookie listed player, so the fact that he has done what he has is great for us

give him a few weeks off at the end of the season, and a bigger preseason and wona will be better again next year!

btw, we have two options for next week... play the old guys and reward them for mediocrity (it wouldnt be an issue giving them a fairwell game if they played 1's all year, but because they dont have the hearts in it anymore, they need to be gifted a game)

or play the kids, the future, line them all up how we will look round 1 next year, give maric and valenti and grime and petterd games, give meeson a game ahead of white, let morton and buckley play in the guts, martin and warnock play of richmonds key forwards, and let garland take on richo on the wing, its better long term to give the kids hope, not wasting development for the sake of washed up guys

lets keep it simple for next week, play every senior listed player who is fit and hasnt played a game yet.

Try to be the first team to play their whole list in a single season.

IN Cheney, Meeson, Pettard, McNamara and anyone else who hasnt played a game, why?

Buggered if I know but it will get us noticed.

Meeson is apparently out for the rest of the season.

He will get a holiday like the rest of the AFL players.

I agree that he will be better next year. He will be fitter. Know what AFL footy is all about. Set himself some targets. Hopefully will be playing in a better Melbourne side, with many of our better players back and younger ones improving, eg Morton, Maric, Grimes, Petterd etc.

You make a good point, though he has had a season at SANFL level, living in Adelaide.

I think he should have been handled with more care this year. He has been really down the last month or so, so why not rest him for the Port game? The very young players don't need another experience like that.

I'd like to see Meesen and Petterd play if available.

And I wouldnt mind if either of White, Yze or Holland were included.

Regardless of form, they've been great servants for the club and deserve a send off in a game which will have no bearing on anything.

Meeson has been ruled out for the rest of the year so he will not be an inclusion this week.

How'd you find out? I've read the same in another thread, but no reason was given. Disappointing that he's injured, given he had a good game the other week.

You know you're in strife when you're being outrucked by Nathan Carroll.

I'll guarentee one thing

You couldnt guarantee nothing, except that your dole money will be in your bank come Thursday!

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res
