MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,816]

I hope Taggert plays. Giving new players one or two games at the end of a season seems to be a good strategy*. Grimes, Rivers, Fitzpatrick and T McDonald and probably some others all got their starts this way.

*'Strategy' probably overstates Melbourne's selection policies over the years.

Just marvee.. Cross in his last Bully game will probably tear us a new one

[Ted Lasso 19,521]

No more tanking talk, a win and momentum going into our most important pre season in a long time would be much more handy, James Aish is a fair players already so i wouldn't be too depressed if he was in red and blue next year anyway, might well get given a PP and get pick 1 also,

we need to be desperate to win every game.

[Cards13 9,117]

Why would we bother bringing Sellar in, he's just going to be delisted in a few weeks...

Good to see James ghetting a head of the game, he was in my buidling all suited up during the week looking very fresh is a potentially soon to be full time role.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,816]

If nothing else, at least we get to play in September.

With the exception of Young Dee does anyone really care!

Fathers day with my Wife, Daughter and Grand Daughter offers way more for me.

No not really I just noticed he seemed to be the only one showing any interest tm.

He has not been bludgeoned into submission like the majority of us yet.

I'm being dragged along by my daughter. Have not darkened the Docklands doors since Carlton beat us when they were tanking and we were playing for a Top 4 spot.

lets bury the Docklands curse once and for all

Now is the time

Really hoping Taggert debuts

Is our win rate statistically worse at Docklands than elsewhere? I thought we were equally poor everywhere.

Craig said at his press conference today that Taggert will be at Geelong tonight for the Casey Final so it is doubtful that he will end up playing! Shame but he will get good finals experience at geelong albeit not AFL.

[rjay 24,996]

Yep, Taggert's been left out. It looks like I'll be staying home now.

[CHAMP 347]

Nah, she's pretty good. Has resigned herself to the crepeness and tells me not to expect anything so as not to be disappointed.

Her fave players were Armstrong (a little girl thing) and Yze. Her older (Lyon Schwarz Jakovich) brother still gets quite angry.

[jackaub 1,402]

I'd like to see Bail get a run instead of Tapscott who's had enough chances lately

You havent watched him play in a while He will also be gone No bl287y good

[DeeSpencer 25,725]

Yep so far no Taggert. Although Sellar and Bail were named for Casey and Taggert wasn't so it will be interesting to see who plays for Casey tonight. If Taggert gets left out of both squads you'd think that would be a very strange decision.

Who knows there is always a chance of a late in but you wouldn't plan for a guy to debut as an emergency.

To be honest it's hard to get too upset about no Taggert when he just hasn't done enough for Casey and was quiet last week. All the more motivation to know he was close but that he needs a big preseason to get that first game, maybe in round 1 if he's up to it.

Gawn and Jetta in. Pedersen and Rodan out.

[censored] off that Rory isn't in.

[TheoX 1,222]
