Nice to see that you're wrong, again, picket.  Well done.

Frost, M Jones, Harmes, Kent. will be in the gun.

 

we won't see Petracca or Trenners, ANB, Brayshaw, Garlett and Pedders should come in. I doubt weeds would come in either.

Weeds is still a weed picket - if we see him at all it won't be until near season's end. Petracca - I'm tipping in two or three weeks.

Harmes and Kent definitely not in the gun IMO.

I'd be happy with no change.

M. Jones was our fourth highest possession player (even if some went awry) . Bugg more likely to,lose his spot.

Kent did kick 4... He was poor in other areas but doubt he'd be dropped after that. Harmes was there abouts again, did enough. 

Frost is not a footballer, drops easy marks, doesn't provide much in the ruck. Having said that he is been played out of position. Needs to go back to Casey and play down back. But dropping him again really is ridiculous.. What's the point in dropping him one week picking him the next.

Vanders needs to lift. 

Petrecca isn't ready. We may go in unchanged

You want to drop a small forward who kicked 4?

Kent kicked four, but I thought his first half was poor, and he hasn't been great all year, two of his goals should have been passes to people in better spots but he kicked them so that's ok. I still think he doesn't do enough around the ground, but I could be wrong.

TBH I did not realise Harmes had ten tackles.

Vanders and Bugg should have also been in that group.

Yes M jones got the ball a lot, also slammed them onto his boot without looking again like he use to, besides I think ANB or Brayshaw are upgrades for him.

Has too be a few changes surely we cant abide losses any longer for any reason.. We lost  and the seconds won  by a truckload. Clearly we have massive talent on the verge.

So who didn't play well today?

I know we are all trying to get Matt Jones out of the team, but he is comfortably best 22 at the moment.

He had a lot of clearances today, so why is him slamming the ball onto his boot in the clinches any different to Bernie?

Frost or Pedders ....... that's a major dilemma for me.  They both bring totally different things to the table (crockery & cutlery) but we desperately need the full setting.  It's pointless chopping and changing them week about, so I'd probably keep the faith with Frost.  He is more the 'future' than Pedersen, and hopefully playing forward and back-up ruck will 'click' for him soon.

Will Vince earn a holiday(?) ..... and if he does, will he be replaced by ANB or Brayshaw? .... another dilemma!  

Jeffie should be an automatic inclusion if he's fit so Bugg or Vanders might have to give way.  Down to likely match-ups I guess, but I'd prefer to give Vanders another week, because we know what he can do.

This one will be close to it.  AVB and Bugg have been average the last few weeks, and Garlett would be an automatic inclusion, while Brayshaw seems to have responded well to being dropped.

If you are suggesting he should get a holiday for the bump on Ziebel then I suggest you stop following AFL

Look I really hate it when people post things like this, but I've got to question whether anyone who wants to drop Harmes saw the game. You just don't drop players who get 10 tackles.

Just saw that on the news. Elbowed a player in the head. Should get a week I'd think.

The hip and shoulder on Ziebell was ripper.

AVB has been seriously disappointing so far this season.

That is a harsh piece of advice to a poster who is never anything but completely civil. Especially since you are barking up the wrong tree regarding what incident it was.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
