Changes for Queens Birthday


Guest

Recommended Posts

The selection from week to week under Roos just baffles me. All I do know is that Howe and Bail DO NOT deserve their spot in the senior team. A couple of speccies in my opinion does not make an AFL player. The problem our club continues to have is players who are bad decision makers, and devoid of effort and consistency. It's 2015 FFS we watch this putrid nonsense every year.

In - anyone who has a football brain, that will help.

It's the old story, you pick a few guys that probably aren't quite up to it, They play well, and you think.... Gee they played well last week and deserve a game

I know we are playing Port and I think I would like to play this side ( The ones which should have played ) But sheeesh these "Fringees played so well!

How can I drop them?

That's my thinking!

Out: titanic deckchairs

In: the same titanic deckchairs that were swapped out a week ago

Seriously though, Newton surely comes back in, we need his 1 goal a week if we want to have a chance of breaking 50 points.

Team there does lack a little run, but if we can turn the game into an arm wrestle we may be ok.

Roos: "Now its time for the easiest part of any coach's job. The cuts.

Although I wasn't able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you.

Bail is cut. Howey is cut. Matty Jones, you're gone. Fitzy, I like your hustle. (Fitzy smiles) That's why it was so hard to cut you. (Fitzy frowns)

Congratulations, the rest of you made the team! (random sighs of relief) Except you and you (points to Watts and Toumpas)"

This is quite possibly the funniest post on here!!!!

Would have thought M Jones, Bail, Fitzpatrick, Howe, Watts and (IMO, anyway) Dunn ought to be the candidates to be dropped.

They won't all go, and part of it will depend on who comes in. I'd suggest Tyson, Riley, Newton and maybe Michie are in the frame.

Match committee needs to do a better job of matching us up against Collingwood; keeping Fitzpatrick in despite no Ryder was a bad move.

Out M Jones and Bail

In Tyson and pigdog.

Seriously, I don't care that they do a defensive job, we need more attacking options, our backline normally does a decent job, but when your two half forwards are crap with ball in hand when they get it or can't tackle a player already on the ground without giving away frees they need to go.

They offer this club nothing for its future unless our future is to stay a pathetic cellar dwelling club...

If that's the case, bring Terlich back too.

I'd even consider Fitzy for another mid like ANB or Stretch which means Dunn plays on white.

I cannot believe that the Hun had Dunn amongst the best players (and no mention of Hogan)!

How do we match up against Collingwood? I would assume McDonald will take Cloke, who takes White - Dunn? Garland? And if Witts/Grundy rest forward, do we need a third tall defender (i.e. Fitzy)?

Fitzy wasn't necessary against Port and shouldn't have played, but if we need him against Collingwood maybe he'll stay.

Midfield-wise, I'd be astounded if we don't see at least two of Tyson, Riley, Newton and Michie in the side.

Need more run and speed. Need more clearances and ball winners. Michie rewarded for good VFL form.

Hopefully they give Michie a go and keep him in more than 1 game. Probably put him on Pendlebury (after getting Fyffe and Mitchell in his last two games)

Ok

1 We didn't play a horses for courses team this week, Fitzpatrick surplus to needs as Rider didn't play X

2 We went with and hope Viney and Jetta can regain form and not be fatigued because of layoff's X

3 We played Bail and Jones on the basis of there games last week, but given the much better midfield this week we needed to play both of Riley and Newton but Roosy went with the ol "Deserved a game mantra" Instead of hard nosed relentless selection based on MATCH UPS X

Do you get it now??

If not then maybe you can provide some "Informed" analysis?

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
