Well done to Stretch for retaining his spot as a starter.

My bench would be ANB, Michie, M Jones (Riley)

    Stretch in first 18 is notable

    '

    I had him in my starting 18 for this week

    Didnt have Dawes in though

    What the actual [censored]?

    pathetic as usual by them.

    might be doing us a favour.

    Last time I went to Geelong we won ...after the siren.

    It's a shocking bench, let's be honest. The upside is that at full strength that entire group of seven would be at Casey.

    I don't think we can play Spencer with Gawn, I don't really want to see what Terlich looks like at AFL level when he's not even coming off VFL form, so of the remaining five I'd drop Riley who gives us nothing.

    That leaves us with Bail, M Jones, MIchie and ANB, any of whom could be the sub tbh.

    The 3.20 pm was the killer for me.

    Puts the game finish time at close to 6 pm on the shortest day of the year which means that if I stay to the end I'll be driving home on that dark godforsaken stretch of highway in a foul mood.

    Still, I hope the boys can hear me cheering them on from the loungeroom while I watch the game on Foxtel.

    Was considering going down to Simonds for the first time in my life... until I saw the time slot.

    According to CH10 news the game is sold out, as it is Enrights 300th.....even more reason to avoid the place!

    I only know one person who has taken more deliberate shots to the head than Joel Selwood and that was a girl from Brighton.

    Spot on.

    You know we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel when Dean Terlich has to be named on an extended bench.

    Oh god.

    10 goal loss (at least) coming up.

    What shocking depth we have.

    You write this almost as if our lack of depth is surprising to you.

    We were always going to be in this position with a few injuries.

    I like Riley, Spencer and Dawes in although not from all of a pure football management perspective.

    And i think that's what you'll find. Good thinking by Roos to do it.

    We have a few young blokes in there and old heads don't go astray metaphorically speaking

  • Quote

    Given what the bench is I'd go with Riley as sub, M. Jones, Spencer & Terlich as emergencies with Spencer the carry over player.

    I was initially calling for Michie to be dropped, but instead I reckon give him this game to rotate through midfield & half back. If he has another shocker he'll be VFL bound for the rest of the year.

  • Quote

    They can't continue to drop Michie and bring him up every 2nd week and expect to make an impact. Give him 6 games in a row to see what he can offer. Im a fan of his and he has been unfairly treated.

  • Quote

    Me too!

    Always wondered who the other supporter there was....

    Its pathetic they allow about 100 opposition supporters in.

    I reckon Stretch looks at home in the seniors. He goes missing a bit but once around the ball, his efforts are good and he doesn't seem rushed at all.

  • Quote

    Michie I'm afraid doesn't impact with his possessions, doesn't tackle much and lacks a yard of pace. A limited footballer IMO.

    You my full support chook for whatever it is worth

    • 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.
