Glad that Grimes' injury is not serious and that he is back in the team... but on the other hand, how the hell do we plan to lose with that backline?!

Bench will probably be: Whelan, Moloney, Morton and Sylvia

Bench should be: Spencer, Whelan, Valenti and Jetta

This is going to be one ugly game!

It's a shame McKenzie's injured.

If the starting 18 is a good guide of who's definitely in it seems Frawley and Grimes are going to slot back in, which is probably justified.

Which three do we drop from the extended interchange? I'd like Wheels to get to his [edit: 150] games.

No quick defender there, although I'm not sure Richmond are the ones to exploit it.

Anyway, look at the rest of the team ;)

Disappointed that Jurrah and McKenzie are out.

From that bench, you would assume that Moloney, Morton and Sylvia would all play. Of the rest, I'm tipping Jetta to play over Whelan, Spencer and Valenti. Well, that's what I would prefer, anyway.

Bewdy!! I tip Melbourne by 5 goals. Bloody good team, proves there is some integrity at the club.

I'd like Wheels to get to his 200 games.

Look at the forward line ;)

Oh no, we don't need milestone games to give the boys extra incentive to win. Keep him until the Freo game thanks.

Good point about the forward line.

The key though is to make sure we don't tag Cousins, Deledio or Cotchin so we give their forward the best possible supply.

He's 53 games away from that.

Cheney and Grimes should be ahead of him in the backline.

If we are actually trying to win interchange should be B.Moloney, N.Jetta, C.Morton, C.Sylvia.

Bench should be J.Spencer, M.Whelan, S.Valenti, N.Jetta,

I would not be suprised if there are some late changes

No Brock McLean again, will they declare he's put the cue in the rack for the year sometime next week?

Also, have a look at the Bombres side, they're giving West Coast a great chance to win at home: Lloyd, McVeigh, Davey and Winderlich all out injured!

Indeed. Three games away from a milestone, just that it's the 150th.

Cheney and Grimes should be ahead of him in the backline.

I assume that's why they were listed in the 18 :)

Oh no, we don't need milestone games to give the boys extra incentive to win. Keep him until the Freo game thanks.

This week would be his 148th, so it'd be another two for 150 - that'd make it the Freo game!

Good point about the forward line.

Our midfield (at least in the 18) looks pretty weak, so they should win that battle.

We could be bolstered by guys from the extended interchange like Sylvia, Moloney and even Morton though.

I guess by fielding the named forwardline.

Bench will probably be: Whelan, Moloney, Morton and Sylvia

Yeah, I think that will be the final bench. The only one I would have any doubt about would be Wheels, but I think he will play. Moloney, Morton and Sylvia would be certainties I would think. I would prefer the suggested bench though.

This is definately a better lineup than last week. But I think we are playing a team playing better football than the one we faced last week.

I'm still confident we'll end the season with the 4 wins. But Sunday is going to be a strange strange day.

I'll take $100 on that. Odds? If that's what you see as a "bloody good team" I'm guessing this has been a good year for you :lol:

Yeah maybe....but theyd still have to change jumpers...

Best team they can select dear boy and that's what matters.

Would have been easy to leave out Frawley and Grimes in particular. And yes--I think they will win quite nicely. Don't bother looking at the forward line as selected--just look at the squad and see who may play there and you won't feel so certain. Of course Bailey will pick taggers for Cousins, Deledio and Cotchin and the 3 chosen will be playing for their future.

I suspect Newton and Miller will exact revenge upon a lot of knocker/tankers in the best possible way!

Looking forward to seeing you there cheering them on and singing the song!

So Donny I assume you want to use the 1 win we have left on this weekends game?

Three taggers in the one game, Don ?!

Won't happen.

Would like to see Newton played back on Riewoldt, and Matty Warnock up forward for a very well-earned rest from defensive duties.. :lol:

We need to maximise our chances as i think Richmond are a particularly flaky side, and coming off a big win with their tails up, they're likely to come back with a lowered intensity level and play a shocker, in typical Richmond style.

And tanking or not, i just can't understand how Moloney ends up on the extended bench when he's clearly been our best midfielder this year??

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
