I want the selectors, to put some more size into the side and experience.

Bate? Mcdonald? Newton? Petterd? Warnock? Jetta? Maric?

Hmmn, > Dunn, Morton, Bennell,,,,,, (Davey to start on the Bench)!

 

B: Garland, Warnock, Bartram

HB: Davey, Frawley, Grimes

C: Bail, Tapscott, Green

HF: Trengove, Rivers, Sylvia

FF: Jurrah, Dunn, Wonaemirri

Ruck: Jamar, Moloney, Watts

Int: Jones, Petterd, Gysberts

Sub: Blease

Warnock - Brining him in allows Rivers to go forward and give us some structure, his form for Casey also warrants selection and would be a good match up for Tippett/Walker

Davey - Move him back, lets see him play like he did in 2009 rebounding.

Tapscott - In the guts, provides some strength and some bloody committment

Rivers - You might think it's stupid but when he was drafted he was drafted as forward, just ended up playing back. Who could blame them, look at our tall defenders from 2003 Lamb, Nicholson.... please. Moving him to CHF gives some structure, leave Dunn if the square to use body.

Watts - In the centre from the bounce, let him get a feel of the footy... could be what kick starts his career. With Jamar, Bail, Moloney, and Tapscott around him he's full of protection.

Wonnaemirri/Maric - Take your pick!

All worth trying but here is mine:

HB: Rivers, Garland, MacDonald

C: Bail, Trengove, Grimes

HF: Wonaemirri,Watts, Petterd

FF: Jurrah, Martin , Green,

Ruck: Jamar, Moloney, Jones

Int: Tapscott,Sylvia,Gysberts

im inclined to wait until reports of Sat training appear to see whos actually having a dip , whos avail etc. Given Sat will be lighter drills etc we really need a good spy ..lol ( somewhat ironic )

For many readers this will seem just this side of incredulous but Idont actually mind the idea of chucking Rivers down the sharper end. What the hell.. We have the likes of Warnock and McDonanld to cover in the back line. One thing I will give Riv is hes an excellent reader of the ball. Possibly in initialising a movement he can be quicker than trying to match an opponent. Kicking would need brushing up on. Could be interesting. Im finding him expensive down the other end..just my view.

I want Grimes and Tappy on opposing flanks..Put Davey on the wing but have him as a loose cannon around the half back line through the middle. Morton can have a run in the Magoos

I want Green in the middle...and working his little butt of ..and barking orders

I want Scully in, but that aint going to happen.

Not sure if it has been mentioned sicne the debacle last Thursday night, especially with the amount claiming that Richmond have gone ahead of us. But I ask one thing, how would Richmond be travelling without Dustin Martin in their side so far? Scully may or may not have taken that step forward like Dusty Martin, but there were games last year that you could easily see Scully had the potential to rip apart. There is absolutely no proof that says he would make a difference, but no proof that he wouldn't.

You could also compare it to taking Judd out of Carlton, I think you would find they would struggle a lot, but they would be a lot more competitive considering Murphy and Gibbs have been in the system for some time now.

Am I saying tha twe are a one-man team? Maybe, maybe not. While Jordie Mac has been an obvious loss so far this year, I wonder if Scully could have been in a position to take games by the balls like Dusty. Perhaps if he had been playing we would be sitting higher on the ladder praising Bail's?

Just food for thought!

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
