Changes v Fremantle

I'm not sure that's a real word. But if you mean we kick like girls, maybe we re the best, not the worst.

Bloody iPhone and it's predictive text

 

No. More like an enigma.

At first glance I thought you said enema.

I was going to agree.

Out Dunn. 1 week (at least).

With Tom McD (and Sellar?) probably still out, presumably an opening in the back line, given that that's where Dunn played on the weekend. Strauss?

Running out of troops here.

Garland & Rivers back, Cook to debut up forward?

Jesus. Jamar is back this week, right? Right? And even though I've not been on the Couch bandwagon, he's literally kicked down the door on the weekend, especially with Magner looking VERY tired.

IN: Jamar, Couch, Green, Gysberts, Strauss

OUT: Spencer (to be 1st ruck at Casey), Dunn (susp), Magner (rested), Moloney (to Casey please), Bennell (Casey)

B: Nicholson Frawley Rivers

HB: Grimes Watts MacDonald

C: Gysberts Trengove Sylvia

HF: Couch Green Blease

F: Martin Garland Howe

R: Jamar Jones McKenzie

I: Bate Strauss Tapscott

Sub:Bail

EMG: Cook, Fitzpatrick, Bennell

If Frawley doesn't get up: Garland to FB, Cook in at FF.


Gee doctor Cook at Full Forward.

Nothing like throwing him in at the deep end.

Not sure I want to ruin the kid for twelve months

Freo Backline would crack him into 3 bits in the first quarter.

All for giving the kid a run but can we ease him in a little please

OD, I'm sure many backlines in the VFL would hit him harder than Freo's will.

I just fail to see who else we'd have at FF. Fitzpatrick? Seems to be more of a backup ruckman than a forward.

Green at FF, maybe, then your boy Bennell in the forward pocket?

Dr I am off to OPSM Think i am seeing things.

The line above looks like it says No.7 in the FP.

But in carnt be surely

What about Howe FF? Can play in the Franklin mould: quick/good leader, great mark, big tank who can wander up ground.

Howe was playing FF when recruited. Bit of a no brainer to me.

Cook at FF won't be so bad. He'd be up against NOS, so he won't be bullied or monstered. Might get outplayed, but that comes with being a beginner. As it stands right now we need someone tall down there rather badly. Martin can't do it all on his own.

RM there is a bloke playing in the back line he is 6 6" can take a grab, good kick for goal and was recruited as a forward.

Why not give him a go?

Agree Old Dee, when we lined up on Saturday I thought our coach was playing forwards as backs and backs as forwards, then I thought all year our midfielders have chased the footy around like under 9's and then bang it hit me Mark Neeld's game plan make it simple under 9's footy the only issue I had was they didn't swap at half time.

I would love to see Watts back forward, play him on the spud at his third club. My forward line can kick goals with Howe, Green, Davey, Watts, Martin and Cook it would be a hard forward line to match up on Howe and Green can play tall, they mark the footy well all players except Davey can rotate through full forward plus push up high half forward and all besides Cook are dangerous when the ball hits the ground.

The only issue is can we get it inside 50m for these guys to kick the goals.

Just extracting the urine, OD.

And please do note that I only have Cook in in the case that Frawley doesn't pass the concussion test this week.

Yes I was well aware of that Dr.

Need a good laugh these days as there is not much happening on weekends to get a smile going.


May be praying for a Miracle there dee-luded

I would think he will be out more than one week.

Certainly won't fly to Darwin

Back for the GWS might be a good result

If so I don't know who else has the agility, strength X endurance if Pav plays leadup?

We'll have to play Frawley as we do with Buddy.

You are right there is no one.

The only way the Dees can beat Pav is to reduce the supply and I doubt our mid field can do that anymore on Saturday than they have all year.

It will not be pretty

Garland & Rivers back, Cook to debut up forward?

The voice of reason, has to happen. Those of you saying that Cook isnt ready and will get destroyed, how about you look at Jeremey Cameron, he seems to be doing fine and he has done half an afl pre season. Cook needs to be given a chance.

In: Cook Green Gysberts Jamar

Out: Dunn Spencer Magner Bennell

Couch's 25 touches and 4 goals not good enough to get a go in your team Jonesbag?

Id be lying if i said i didnt feel bad for leaving him out but i feel in the long run getting games into gysberts would be more beneficial

I hear what you're saying, but I just think from a culture point of view we have to reward him with a game.

I love it when people list 7 unforced changes and realistic think it could happen :)

Agree... Consistency is the key.

Out: Dunn (susp) Spencer

In: Green, Jamar

Cant seem more than 2 changes.

Out: Dunn, Bail, Spencer, McDonald

In: Green, Gysberts/Couch, Jamar, Bate

 

All this talk of cook getting smashed because he is too small makes me look at Chris Dawes and wonder what his problem is? It's not a body building competition it's footy. As has been said Jeremy Cameron is going fine for his size and there are plenty of tarzans playing like Jane and Jane's playing like Tarzan in the AFL. if the lad has form then pick him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
