Melbourne Squad vs Collingwood

MELBOURNE v COLLINGWOOD

Melbourne

B: Clint Bartram, Matthew Warnock, James Frawley

HB: Cameron Bruce, Jared Rivers, Jack Grimes

C: Colin Sylvia, Jack Trengove, Tom Scully

HF: Neville Jetta, Matthew Bate, Lynden Dunn

F: Brad Green, Brad Miller, Aaron Davey

Foll: Mark Jamar, Brent Moloney, Jordie McKenzie

I/C (from): Colin Garland, Cale Morton, Jordan Gysberts, Nathan Jones, Jack Watts, Paul Johnson, Jamie Bennell

In: Johnson, Dunn, Frawley, McKenzie

Out: James McDonald (hamstring)

Edit: Frawley, Dunn and McKenzie all named in the 18, so another 2 have to make way from the bench. Given Miller's named at FF (lucky) I suspect Watts may make way. As might Jones with his sore hamstring.

Given that, I'd settle for

In: Dunn, Frawley, McKenzie

Out: McDonald, Watts, Garland

Swap Jones for Garland if Jones is injured. I'm pretty flexible on this though. Gysberts is undroppable, I don't think Morton will be dropped, and I don't want PJ in the side. I'd be happy for the remaining two spots to be made up of any two of Garland, Jones, Watts and Bennell.

Frawley and Dunn obvious. Very happy Jordie Mc is back.

I reckon youre on the money, alhtough Bennell may be due for a spell ahead of Watts. Hes been pretty poor for 2 weeks.

Except that would leave us with a forward line like this:

Watts Bate Jetta

Green Miller Dunn

Too tall, not feasible. Unfortunately it means that JW will most likely be dropped.

What the hell is with PJ coming back in? From what Ive heard his VFL form hasnt been superb or anything

Maybe a sign that Jamar doesnt think he'll be able to ruck the whole game this week?

Of course great to see McKenzie and Frawley back in, and am keen to see how Dunn will play after his big game last week.

Bartram and Millar are extremely lucky to be in. I actually have to look away when Bartram is in possession

Welcome back Chipper!!! Welcome back Jordie!! Anyone with the name Jack, James or Jordie/Jordan is good for this side!!

But I am confused a bit by this squad.....cannot for the life of me see a match up for both Warnock & Rivers....how can both be included and Garland listed on the bench??????

Jamar smashed Jolly in rnd 2....if Miller is there we don't need Johnson....we dont need him anyway.

Kyle Cheney's manager must be looking around already.....I am not his biggest fan but going on what I have seen at Casey he has been the most consistent performer and surely deserved a spot on an extended bench at the very least?!

I would be very surprised if Jones played and even Sylvia (but probably more likely) and if that is to be the case then to me it is Dunn for Sylvia, Jordie for Junior and Chip for Jones......could've had Cheney or even Strauss (because I like this kid!) for one of Rivers/Warnock but not to be....

If Johnson gets a spot for Watts......well, I can't do much but I would be disappointed!

Our backline looks too top-heavy. Cloke is really the only 'tall' Collingwood forward, Macaffer IIRC is a medium. If Frawley takes Cloke, Warnock I guess could take Macaffer, but there's definitely a question on who Rivers would play on. Too slow for Davis, Didak or Medhurst.

Cant for the life of me understand how Miller retains his spot.

Maybe his final farewell game. We've lacked structure when we used Sylvia and co in

ruck everytime we'd get smashed in the clearances and it's just embarrassing. Johnson's last chance

Sneaky suspicion Bennell will get the chop had a 2 bad weeks in a row.

Watts will stay in the side.

Jones wont be risked.

and I'm extremely doubtful Sylvia will get up.

Don't expect Dunn to come in a kick a bag, he will be in for a role which will be that defensive forward that will man up on Shaw or Maxwell. I hope Bate doesn't get Harry O if he does push him deep inside 50 straight away. Maxwell will go to Green which is a great match up for us. We need to work on exposing Presti outside his defensive 50 and getting Harry O deep inside it which will mean constant rotations through the forward line.

What the hell is Miller doing in the team?

Its crazy i know. What hope are the coaching staff holding on to?! I could stomach Watts going out provided Miller was duely ommitted for his atrocious form, but if Watts goes and he stays i wont be pleased.

Dawes is a big boy.

Sorry if I missed something, guys. But, does anyone know when Junior did his hammy? Don't recall anything during last week's game...???

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
