Just thought Id throw this up: Assuming we were making an assessment of which players are required at the club, who would you keep based not only on the last two games - but perhaps the last few seasons?

Dustin Martin is the perfect type of player for a team like Melbourne, hardnut, uncomprimising mongrel. We just arent respected and players like that demand respect.

For mine Green to go.

Davey to trade.

I could see both Moloney & JMacdonald going.

I think Dunn should go... Bate is a hardworker & should stay on.

Morton must show something this Year or off.

IMO we are getting they're, but you just can't see it yet. The Leadership issue Is the Biggest issue at our club, & has been for decades. On & Off the field.

Based solely on their performances this round and last round, I'd say Martin, Trengove, Watts, Magner from last week, and Clark, Bate and Jones from this week. Magner is the only one who performed well both weeks. Everyone else is either potential or has so far proven that they can't perform in this day and age.

What are your thoughts on Bartram and Bail? I jusrt havent seen much from either of these blokes that seems to justify their continued selection.

Tommy was ok for how much exposure he has had. Jack was disappointing and looked lost.

how do you rate tom mcdonald and jack watts performance?

Bartram's selected on his effort. He was at one stage matched up against Dean Cox because he was the only one willing to do the work required to man up the forwards after yet another quick transition from the Eagles' defence. He'll continue to get games until people with better skills are prepared to do the work he does. Bail is similar, but he has more upside, more pace and slightly better skills than Barty.

Davey,Joel McDonald,GreenMaloney Jones, Trade Watts if you can Blease and Strauss will never make it due to injuries and ability wasted picks

Ohh cale Bloody Morton, Runner in 2013 in a nice uniform absolutely waste of space

OK. Forgetting 'effort', 'red-hot-go', 'performance' and the like, what margin did you predict pre-game? (keeping in mind in both games last year it was a 10 goal margin)

For me required players would be Mitch, Jonesy, Sylvia, Treners, Frawley, Grimes, Moloney, Garland and Magner.

Im worried Jamar and Stef Martin are going back to his old ways. i say keep Watts but find him a good role in the side that he actually fits in. Rivers looks kinda lost as well.

I was a fan of Bennell until today. Bater hasnt been good in a few years. Morton pretty much sums up the Dees of the last 6 seasons. Bail, Bartram, Blease, MacDonald, and many others I just dont see in a successful future and Im not convinced about any of these guys.

When you look at the team today I just saw a lot of kinda dumbfounded looking players who just looked lost - Wattsie looked like he didnt really know what he was supposed to be doing.

    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.
