MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 22

[Jaded No More 68,974]

How the F..k do Matt Jones and Rohan Bail continue to get games.

Because we got nothing else?

Who do you suggest we play?

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Spencer at full forward... Not sure about that that one. Lack of depth I suppose

[dazzledavey36 55,453]

Btw no Dom Tyson

[DemonOX 8,809]

Good luck OMac.

Hopefully u get in and have a great first game.

[bing181 9,343]

Not looking good for Jamar. Only third in line.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

I know Spencer and Gawn worked well for one game but I don't get why Roos is always obsessed with being loaded with talls.

Also interesting that Jamar was emergency for several weeks on the trot and then Spencer finally gets selected before him..

[DemonOX 8,809]

For me I would not include Jack Grimes, James Harmes, Rohan Bail in the final 22.

I read that Harmes was going to be rested with Brayshaw.

[FireOath 290]

Spencer at full forward... Not sure about that that one. Lack of depth I suppose

As per the VFL report;

Jake had 19 possessions, took 12 marks and had 30 hit outs so he was probably our best player on the day. I was really happy for Jake because over his last four or five weeks hes just been there about but certainly hasnt impacted the game like he did this week. His ability to be able to play a role in the ruck and have some real dominance there and then go forward and kick four goals as well was really pleasing. He played his best game of VFL football in a long time so I couldnt have been happier for him. The challenge for him now is to try and back that up.

[DemonOX 8,809]

Congrats to chunk on 200 games.

Hopefully it's a great game for him and the team.

Does it really, really matter?

How the F..k do Matt Jones and Rohan Bail continue to get games.

It annoys me, nothing scares me more than the thought they might offer Bail another contract, please no. I want them to pay Jones out as well.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

I know he's had concussion but Toumpas not getting picked this week would surely suggest it's curtains for him, unless the docs still haven't cleared him.

I reckon they will give Jamar a farewell game against West Sydney.

As per the VFL report;

Jake had 19 possessions, took 12 marks and had 30 hit outs so he was probably our best player on the day. I was really happy for Jake because over his last four or five weeks he’s just been there about but certainly hasn’t impacted the game like he did this week. His ability to be able to play a role in the ruck and have some real dominance there and then go forward and kick four goals as well was really pleasing. He played his best game of VFL football in a long time so I couldn’t have been happier for him. The challenge for him now is to try and back that up.

And good luck to him

I just think he is another player who, like Gawn until this year, has struggled to convert VFL form into AFL footy particularly up forward. That said I think Gawn will spend more time forward then in the ruck, leaving the duties to spencer

[Deecisive 1,709]

_{I love spencer up forward he will be a headache for anyone to tackle with his height and he has proven he can kick a goal or two.}

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

Bail and Matt Jones have failed too many times. Why rest Harmes ?? He has hardly played?? Been sub a few times. Why not just use him or Brayshaw as sub.

Tired players ... amazing !! no wonder we are viewed as SOFT.

[dazzledavey36 55,453]

Because we got nothing else?

Who do you suggest we play?

Id rather these games go in Jay Kennedy Harris instead of Bail for example. Didn't even play last week in the 2s and he still gets named.

Unbelievable

I like it.

It screams Roos call for the players to get angry and play that way too. Big Spencil will knuckle someone/s on the weekend and duly get rubbed out.

I have the feeling this game will be rather spiteful.

About bloody time.

[What 18,810]

Dawes and Lumunba out..... good.

Hope Spencer smashes a few Dockers

Don't forget that Roos wanted us to play like maniacs last weekend and well look how we played.

Too true OX.

Maybe next week we'll be playing like psychopaths?

I'd settle for enthusiasts after the crap that's been dished up lately

[Bitter but optimistic 22,287]

I know I'm not allowed to be negative .... but ...FMD ..... we'll get the [censored] kicked out of us..

What a [censored] up we've become.

Jesus, I don't think I can cop much more of this - apparently since my negativity has contributed to us being the basket case we are.

[Mydee 288]

My only concern with this new found Uber Confident Positivism is what happens, IF Against all odds, the Dockers manage to outscore us (not beat, to negative). Will it hurt more?

That couldn't happen now that everyone is so positive but even if they outscored us we learn would learn from it and move on. It will be character building, for ourselves and the players. I think the Melbourne Footy team are the best little players in the best little club in the best little country in the world. I might even pay for my membership in Babcock and Brown shares as I reckon they will come good too!
