Frawley Out Bate In

[monoccular 17,573]

What are we doing????

All our good players are out,

WATTS has the longest twisted ankle in history.

JAMAR a seven week calf strain.

MARTIN runs out a game then all of a sudden has an injury

And FRAWLEY get an injury last minute.

They are the suss ones not to mention long term injuries to CLARKE etc

We have 17 on the injury list that is almost 40% of our list. Something stinks and i want to know what. Us members need to hear the truth.

The season has long been over.

If there is ANY risk of long term injury aggravation then it is clearly not worth a risk.

IF we can get everyone up and ready for preseason then we may have a decent opportunity of a decent ladder climb next year.

It is NOT tanking; it is sensible player / list management.

Id like to see this kid get a game, he's going to be something else.

Please tell me that was a sarcastic dig at some of the poster's on here... Please...

Those players who were named as uncontracted till October in The Age this week, deserve a chance to show their wares.

The AFL call it Free Agency and for clubs with no finals pretensions it seems honourable to give loyal and hard working MFC players the chance show another club that they might be worth drafting...

Ugh, I truly honestly don't want to go today.

I would rather spend the time burning my eyeballs.

But alas, my sense of duty to this club is getting the better of me again.

Please just go away 2012!

Calm down folks. Might not be the end of the world. Tom McD will go to Reiwoldt and Sellar will take Koschitzke. Rather Chip have a rest than get a more serious injury.

Bater might play forward and tear them apart!

(i'd also like to take this opportunity to remind people that by my calculations this means 8 of our best 18 are not on the G today - let alone best 22. Please take this into consideration when you begin to scream about how shite we are at 4:30 this afternoon)

Agree with Heart beats true. Not the end of the world (yet).

Curious to know if you guys were at the Saints game earlier in the year. Very close to snatching that one; Hayes was the difference. Can we do it again? If not, what will be different this time?

Melbourne changes since round 5

Ins - Jetta, Blease, Tapscott, Strauss, Spencer, Green

Outs - Davey, Morton, Frawley, Bartram, Jamar, Watts

Apart from Blease being in better form than Morton you could argue that all the ins are not quite as good as their equivalent outs

(Clark was injured with concussion so missed the round 5 match)

Good post. It would be interesting to look at this for equivalent games over the last 4-6 weeks.

Does it really matter who is in the team today?

Let the coaches have the last few weeks to watch players under match conditions.

Neeld is giving Bater every chance to stay on the list. He wants him. Bitty Matty has to do it.
