There you go CB, Petterd named down back. That will make you happy.

Jones emergency, Watts making trip. That's good for you Qld folk wanting to see him play! Go Dees.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Mfc Ins and Outs?? Petterd.. um no jones <_<

[w00dy 146]

There you go CB, Petterd named down back. That will make you happy.

I think it's a good move, with Watts and Jurrah now forward, Ricky P down back, where he's played his best footy could be a welcome addition...

Still would've liked Juice to come in for Robbo...

What the?

[DemonDave 1,095]

No McDonald, no Jamar. Wonder how far off these two are then?

Whelan picked ahead of Cheney, can anyone explain this?

[Carn dees 108]

Pretty good bench

Management !!

Jones an emergency? Anybody know the reasoning behind this? You'd think if he was fit, he'd be in. If not, he'd be out.

MELBOURNE coach Dean Bailey has defended his club's handling of Jack Watts in the face of the intense media scrutiny that has followed the 18-year-old's debut.

SUCCESSIVE poor losses may have intensified the scrutiny of Melbourne's progress, but Dean Bailey is adamant his team has taken great strides forward this season and will continue to improve.

& with Spencer injuring an ankle, ??? someone will ruck for Casey?

[dee-luded 2,959]

I think it's important to help continue the winning form of our partners, Casey, & they've been left a little thin with their goal scoring ability.

If Jones or someone else were to help them out in the interests of Team balance, I think that would be very healthy for our young'uns development.

I'd like to see young Strauss cut loose this week @ Williamstown I think, Saturday.

[cooko 124]

WATTERS!! good work bails leaving him in there!

sucks about Jones.. but maybe he is still ill..

i hope the big russian comes back soon so we can ditch PJ

[deanox 10,012]

in jack grimes, out travis johnstone.

edit: though TJ is listed as back injury (test), which in some ways is even more ironic.

[deanox 10,012]

?

the trade for whom we got grimes. as with any such 'trade an experienced player for a pick' scenario there was constant discussion about whether it was any good. grimes is getting a game this week, TJ isn't. win for the dees. then i heard TJ was injured (back) given grimes history of back injuries i felt it was suitably ironic that TJ was out with one.

[beelzebub 23,383]

ahhhh ..lol

tad confusing for lil ol me..given who we're playing..hehehe

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Cheney is stiff, and I don't get why he isn't being played ahead of Whelan. Dropping him after one game is rough.

I also don't know why we dropped Bartram for Petterd, and not for Jonesy.

Very very happy and excited to watch Watts and Jurrah go around again!

Petterd wouldnt be playing if the game was anywhere other than qld..

But nevertheless glad to see him in

[Einstein 1]

I'm going to guess that Jones maybe isn't quite right and they're going to wait until Saturday to see how he is. As good an explaination as any. I'd be surprised if he is running around for Casey this weekend. I'd say he'll be playing for the Dees or not at all.

[demon heart 3]

send bratram straight to the casey seconds....

great move keeping Watts in, he should play every game from now on, sick of press giving him hardtime..........................Jones out no good

[LITTLE STINGA 1]

Emg: N.Jones

What the?

I'm convinced that they don't rate him. They didn't rate him last year and starting him on the bench every week in a midfield like ours tells me the same thing. I think he will struggle to stay on the list definate contender for the Gold Coast. They still refuse to change their midfield though which amazes me I thought Bailey was going to keep playing Valenti what happened to that? What about giving McKenzie a go? The midfield is a joke and it's not going to change with the same faces there. What are they doing with Whelan? Are they just trying to get to 150 games? cause on form there is no way he should be getting a game.

NO JONES
