SEN late night MFC Season preview


DeeSpencer

Recommended Posts

Darren Parkin with special guest Daniel Cross.

Not a bad listen if you've got 20 minutes.

Starts with a best 22. Pretty standard team similar to most of the media ones floating around.

Goes through some strengths and weaknesses and then Crossy gets on to talk Tracc and others. 

Overall Crossy seems positive about a lot of players, including Petracca, but cautions that he'll need a good block of preseason running before he plays.

Darren is very passionate about General Footy, but such a St.kilda supporter, and as has been said today about the station he works for, He is careful NEVER to Rock the boat on SEN...The AFL have them by the balls big time....

Meh, it's late night talk radio, save the conspiracies for the forums, no point discussing criticism of the AFL at 2am. 

I'd be more worried that the AFL isn't criticised by investigative journos at the big papers. In fact the way the peptides scandal broke in to Caro (AFL) and Robbo (Ess) was very disappointing.

Yes i know it is in the wee hours but when you have a bunch of late night presenters (Most) just want the Essendrug situation to go away because it is taking too long rather than finding the truth it kind of dilutes the output...
SEN people (Mostly) want "Footy" at any cost no matter what the Performance...

This year he is a drug cheat serving his time.

next year he will be an MFC player.

I am interested in the " best 22 " selected by Parkin and also many on this site. Essentially most selections involve all those who would be expected to be picked.

I have watched again the great game v Gerlong in 2015. In my view the key to Melbourne 16 lies in a number of players who don't feature on anyone's best 22.

apart from the usual picks we tried many kids last year. I will forget some, but in my thinking I include Harmes, Stretch, Neil-Bullen, Mc Donald (jun) White, Frost. In my view, our best side will hopefully, by R12 , include 3 of the above, and at least 2 will feature in our B and F. 

We are happy about the first years of Brayshaw and Hogan and Vandenberg but if it really was a great year for first years, some of the above need to come through. I suspect at least a couple will. If they do, we can challenge for the 8

one final point. Many on this site deplore that we have Matt Jones on the list. Watch a replay of the Geelong match and think again! Even in a v good side there is a role for a Matt Jones

I've watched that game a couple of times and the contributions of M Jones and ANB were vital to our win.

And bye th' bye it was nice to hear Derwayne having to say nice things about Melbourne, and down at Geelong too.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
