They dropped Cloke , good . 

Kennedy to replace Garlett and would consider throwing Hunt forward for some tackling pressure also if it fits

Viney named in the 25!

Miracle recovery?  Maybe that is why he didn't try the tribunal out risking 2, knowing he was a possibility to return after 1?

I'd rather him play. Their forward line has worked much better with him out. Although that's also been with Moore in.

I get what you're saying Ted, but let's be honest - there was every chance that Cloke, who has been smashed from pillar to post all season, was a rather large chance to come out and kick a bag of goals.  It only ever happens to us.

Is one of those the Gibson contest? I thought that was the worst, refused to take any body contact.

I think it was Gibson competing with Hogan in the 1st qtr.  Wasn't watching their players too closely.

Jeff is starting to look a bit 'too individual' in that he doesn't support or look for team mates for support, at least that is how it looked to me last week. 

I think that individual vs team is one thing that has been a non-negotiable since the day Roos arrived.

Jeff will get the message and be a better player for it.

Big call here

Dawes will have an undeniably better game than Cloke!

One would certainly hope so ?

Don't like Garlett out. Yes his last 2 weeks have been bad. But just a few weeks ago I saw him get out the back on attack so many times. Did anyone see Collingwood's defence last week?

Not sure that necessarily  follows.

what if Dawes drops one in the goal square with 5 seconds to go and we are 5 points behind.

Cloke will not cost them the game Dawes might.

Wonder if it's related to his no-contest at the ball last week ?

Interesting way to deal with him. Fairly dropped on form though.

I know he has been....just felt he was due for a blinder... Perfect scenario for it...oh well

NEW Melbourne is in a position to pick a side based on form.  Casey is firing... we have others who can step up.

Even 'HE WHO MUST NOT MOVE WEST' would be dropped if he didin't follow team orders (maybe?)

I like it.... but if we lose .... I will attribute the loss to it .....indignantly!

Harmes still in but Jeff out... Lolololololololol

Kent still in but Jeff out... Lolololololololol

Three have to come out yet G

Are you suggesting Garlett has been better than them the last three weeks?

certainly not from my seat. Admittedly  it is like picking the worst of the worst but JG wins for me.

That could come back to haunt us.

Disagree. That WILL come back to haunt us! Jeff will be sorely needed. He loves the big occasions. I will not be delighted if he kicks a bag in the 2s. Don't know who to tip now.

Oh dear. Sam Frost named at FP. Please no

Wouldn't sweat it Lad - the MFC website has an article today with him singing his praises as a defender. Just took the club 10 weeks longer than us here to see that's where he should be played

Let's see if he can go back and get it 30 times and snag 3 goals at Casey.

It'll be interesting to see how he goes actually. Not known for putting body on the line so it might take him more than one Casey game to warrant a return to the firsts.

Garlett out over Kent and Harmes is just bloody stupid.

What's the argument? He had a down couple of weeks? How many have Kent and Harmes had?

We better win this. The selections this season continue to annoy me.

If I were seeking a way for Garlett to recapture his form and confidence, I'd send him to the forward pocket on Queen's Birthday at the MCG against Collingwood and tell him to kick goals.

Who would have thought at the start of the year, we might see the two ex captains playing together again.

All we need now is for Brayshaw and Petracca to appear on the ground together.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
