OUT: Jones, Maric, (Garland if injured)

IN: Gysberts, Wonaeamirri, (Macdonald)

We need Jetta's speed, despite how bad he was today.

Bailey out? Get a grip, the players are the ones who should hang their heads in shame after that third quarter. Nothing Bailey could do when the game is played in Hawthorn's 50.

Maric was average yet again. Would be surprised if he survived.

OUT - Maric played fantastic pre season but when it counts FAIL

IN - Gysberts, because he proved himself last season, and he is proving himself in the VFL. & We need someone like Wonna, so Wonna is back in also.

Not happy at all with Melbourne today, MFC are lucky not to lose by 20 goals, thank the football gods the Hawks could not kick straight.

its baileys job to make sure the players dont get complacent! make an example of players who make silly errors. when i played footy, if you made a mistake you were dragged and spoken to. simple.he is responsible for player behaviour. he is the coach.

I'm sorry, nothing he could do?! He is the coach and has been working with them for 3 1/2 years! Why do you think the game was played in Hawthorn's 50? Lack of good planning and structure.

Jones won't get dropped, don't ask me why, he just won't.

Maric shouldn't be dropped, horrible choice to use a forward pocket as the sub.

Yeah right. There is nothing in what he says that inspires. The team would start a qtr, any qtr better if he did. I'm yet to see one since he's been in charge.

Worse sides than us play better from a coaches inspiration.

Jones is no good, I cant believe how many opportunities he gets for a senior player..

Gys for Jones

Wona for Petterd

Petterd???? Oh boy.

Maric barely had a chance, he was subbed on while the hawks where well on top. And whilst on got a bit of the ball.

Maric a proper chance to prove him self.

Maric barely had a chance and actually did a couple of good things with some hard running in the last quarter. Can't drop him on the basis of tonight. Whose stupid idea was it to use a forward pocket as a sub???

Out Jetta - made too many mistakes at crucual times of the game.

In - Gysberts or Wonna if either fit enough.

If Garland is injured how about Tom MacDonald? Please, pleae, please no Juice!!! Icouldn't stomach this.

Out Jones, Garland, Maric

In Wonaeamirri(super sub), Gysberts, Newton(try him down back, we've seen enough of Macdonald and Warnock) One question though. Why has Warnock stalled after looking so good a few years back?

Posted

I spoke to Cale Morton today before the game and he said he was banging down the coaches box to play this week, said he will definately play next week

INS - Morton, Wonna, Macdonald, Gysberts

OUTS - Maricc, Garland :( , Jetta, Jones

Consider yourself very lucky Grimes!!

How bad is the Garland injury?

For me Jones continues to struggle in his primary role as an inside midfielder. I'd drop him and bring in Gysberts. We have to start to develop more options in the middle because we clearly don't have enough. Bail has been very good this year in that role, and Gysberts showed glimpses last year. He had a good game in the VFL by all reports, so he's in.

If Garland is badly injured then McDonald comes in. We can't afford Rivers and Warnock in the same line up IMO.

Maric could get dropped for Aussie, but I suppose he deserves more than 1.5 games to prove his worth.

In: Gysberts, McDonald (if needed)

Out: Jones, Garland (if injured).

Lucky we are playing Brisbane next week!

Edit: after reading the above, Morton comes in if fit. Bring in some class!!!

Gysberts for Jones

Newton for Martin (I hate Newton but surely he offers more than Martin, especially with the new sub rule)

Wonna for Jetta

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
