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...???

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
