Just Play the Casey Scorps side. This season has become too stressfull!!

In: Whelan, if only to play 30-40%!

INS: Whelan?

Watts to play for Casey, so as to help with there finals campaign. He would get a lot more out of playing in a finals series down with Casey Scorps, I'd like to see Jurrah eventually back there as well.

Spencer, Buckley, McKenzie, Newton, Martin, Dunn, Bartram, to Casey for the finals.

Two changes:

IN: Spencer (need to get more game-time into him), Whelan (must play last two games to get to 150!)

OUT: Martin (obviously carrying some injury over the last few weeks), Jetta (i like him, but he played an absolute stinker against Freo)

IN: Whelan

OUT: Anyone

IN: Watts

According to the HUN, they've put the cue in the rack for Watts. He will now focus on VCE exams. He will train part-time from October 12th till end of exams.

I would understand if it was 100 or 200 games but what is so important about getting Wheels to 150? To my knowledge it does not affect father/son, life membership, name on locker or anything else of note. Send off game important but I actually dont think 150 is that important. I actually struggle with it being recognised for any player.

In: Whelan, Spencer/Jamar

Out: Jetta, Martin

If fit Whelan. Absolutely must get him to 150 if we can. Wheatley to ensure he gets a send off.

Next priority may be Buckley if fit if he needs to stake a claim to stay on the list.

Out: anyone other than Davey as he is only one to play every game in 2009.

IN: Whelan

OUT: Anyone

I agree. I've completely lost all interest in the changes now. My only criteria is that Whelan can get to 150.

Any number that is divisible by 50 is a significant milestone IMO.

ins

Whelan, Wheatley, Newton ( farewell games )

outs..

what ever works

OUT: Jetta (i like him, but he played an absolute stinker against Freo)

That tackle against Sandilands gets him a game for the rest of the year, IMO.

I hope Buckets gets a game as well as Wheels.

Id like to see more of McKenzie. He looked pretty good in his one game.

Bartram and Jetta to go out.

That tackle against Sandilands gets him a game for the rest of the year, IMO.

That was about the only thing he did all game. I like him, and I think he's going to be a good player for us, but I'd prefer Whelan to get his 150, and Jetta is the most likely candidate to be dropped.

That tackle does go to show that Jetta's workrate is phenomenal. He always chases, always puts himself in the contest, always runs himself to exhaustion. Good qualities.

very happy with this team.

Good ins and outs.

Melbourne Team

Backs: Whelan, Frawley, Morton

Half backs: Cheney, Rivers, McNamara

Centreline: Sylvia, Moloney, Davey

Half forwards: Jones, Robertson, Jurrah

Forwards: Johnson, Martin, McLean

Followers: Spencer, Jetta, Bate

I/C From: Petterd, McDonald, McKenzie, Valenti

Emg: Bartram, Bennell, Jamar

BY the way, surely Bartram getting dropped again signifies the end of his career?

WHELAN!

My love, we will enjoy these last few hours until it be light
