Same for Cornelius for the Lions. Also, 4 changes for them this week. Black back in.

[Chook 15,012]

Good on Wonna for earing his spot in the team after being an emergency. With the rumours of Jack Watts' sore quad, I wouldn't be surprised to see him replaced in the selected team by Trengove.

[Strawbsodwyer 0]

late change watts out, trenners in.

i think cornelius really has something about him, would love to get him to the dees, he will be in and out of the lions team as long as brown and fev are there

[hrob 2]

disgrace that maric has been dropped (feel sorry for the kid) - played really well last week but having said that great to see the skippa back!

[Old Gregg 1]

Bahahahaha Sydney no changes

[Guest The Boss]

My boy PJ starting at FF, awesome! I hope he kicks a bag!

your phrase below your comment is an absolute disgrace!!

[gOLLy 401]

Nooooooo! Absolutley disgusted in Maric being ommitted.

Every Melbourne supporter knows the greatest number 11 for Melbourne isn't PJ.

So, then its not a "disgrace" - is it?? Of course Maric is very stiff (he did play quite well & did the job he was asked to do). But, someone had to make way for a more senior player. Maric will get his chance. All he has to do is go back to Casey & play the best he can (putting the seniors under pressure) & when he next gets call up - take the opportunity with both hands (like he did against the Swans).

It is bloody great to have Junior back in the side .

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Aaah Jeez. I thought Maric was ok. He's pretty stiff. Mostly because everyone around him was so good.

I'd almost be all for him getting the gig in place of whatever injuries there are, over Trengove who may need another week.

[DeeSpencer 25,398]

Nooooooo! Absolutley disgusted in Maric being ommitted.

Why? I'm upset for him but he'll get more goes if he keeps working hard. Disgusted is a strong word.

The only person you could recommend to be dropped ahead of Maric is Jones. And he did a good job defensively and kicked 2 goals so its not like he had a shocker.

Brisbane have woken up to us and brought in a very strong running side.

I think Maric is stiff, How many emergencies go to Brisbane?

If he does not get a game up there he has to come back Sunday am to play with Casey in the afternoon.

Same goes for Trengove. A lot of travel!!

[No16 1]

It will be good for trengove to earn his spot again at Casey after such an all round strong performance. If not for the player coming in being the captain we would probably go with no changes.

Surely all 3 would travel, so we don't get a North Melbourne situation, with an emergency forced to fly up during the game!

But seriously, I wouldn't be surprised to see some more Dean Bailey Last Minute Changes™.

[beelzebub 23,312]

am surprised and yet Im know. Disappointed for Maric as he really didnt do much wrong but he'll get his chances again.

Trengove as emergency suggests someone has to pass a last minute fitness test. Watts is a bit proppy by reports but be a shame for him not to play as he's really growing into his role.

I agree Maric is stiff (quite stiff actually).

Would say 2 emerg would go up. I doubt if they go up & dont play that they would fly back to play with Casey on Sunday - unless, they leave Bris as the game starts so they atleast sleep at home sat night. But, would say they wont fly them back on Sat night.

[The Big Ticket 94]

Sorry Titan, I was wrong. You were right.

Is Fev out?

[WonnaJurah 5]

my schoolmate makes his Lions debut this weekend (clarke)

good in as there isnt much you can change to the side
