Melbourne Squad vs Collingwood

[titan_uranus 23,180]

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.

[ucanchoose 1,807]

Out: Luke Ball (groin), Ben Johnson (ankle)

The two guys I'd like to boo the most are gone :-(

[titan_uranus 23,180]

Which is all assuming Sylvia is OK. Otherwise he'd be the third out alongside McDonald and probably Watts.

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

[PeterJames 46]

Miller and Johnson in the one side? Please Nooooo!

Very happy to have Frawley back and Mckenzie gives us something.

[Jastone 2]

No Cheney?

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

[titan_uranus 23,180]

No Cheney?

Forgot about him. Gee he's unlucky I reckon, not to even be named. Could have at least had some recognition by being named instead of PJ.

Bartram had better do a sterling job on Davis.

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.

Expecting something like this

[NC MFC 0]

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

[Red Sox 2]

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!

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

What the hell is Miller doing in the team?

I think your spot on eth!!!

[titan_uranus 23,180]

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.

[Diablo Deemon 220]

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.

[Eth 4]

Dean Bailey on SEN saying Watts will play. Dammit

[drdrake 3,061]

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.

[stranga 328]

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.

[Red Sox 2]

Are you suggesting this the kiss of death eth?

Certainly hope not!

Dawes is a big boy.

[PeterJames 46]

Anyone else see on ten the way spelt Dunn. With an e on the end Dunne...

[Vagg 2,422]

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