MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 12

[Engorged Onion 10,224]

Erm, 

Melbourne v Collingwood at the MCG

MELBOURNE
In: J.Spencer, J.Kennedy-Harris, C.Salem
Out: -

 

Thought Spencil was not going to be in - and glad that JKH gets another run (hasn't shown anything at AFL level, but I seem to have a spot for him in the cockle of my heart)...

[Dee Zephyr 19,269]

Stretch can't get a look in. Not worthy of at least a spot on the extended bench?

Yeah, hope he's not trade bait... 

[beelzebub 23,388]

Odd... someone not playing named on bench 

 

[DemonLad5 1,642]

Guessing Pencil is being held in case Watts. Unless Goody is playing games

Precaution or mind games?

[What 18,810]

Isolate Petracca at FF on Lynden Dunn.

If Watts doesnt get up from his ankle complaint, surely Spencer will play now that hes been named in the 25.

 

[Diamond_Jim 12,646]

JKH is the emergency...

Salem in for ?? (looks like Wagner)

Spencer... we'll know at 2pm Saturday if he runs out for Casey ....... unless of course there is something more about Jack W's ankle ??

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

I don't get it.

Goody said Spencer wont play, so why is he named?

JKH is not up to it ..... so why is he named?

Salem in for ...... ??

[Nasher 33,617]

WTF. You're killing me here Goody!

Have a feeling Salem for Wagner, JKH got 47 possesions in the VFL, hard to ignore that.

Salem: clearly best 22 returns from suspension 

Spencer: only ruckman, not competing with smalls for selection

JKH: rewarded for 47 touch VFL game

Stretch will be fine, and will get his chance again. Patience.

I'm guessing it all depends on the Saturday morning session with Watts.

Obviously it can't be ignored, but I would much prefer to see him do it on a more regular basis before coming back in. He always seems to come back into the team off the back of only 1 good performance

I'll ignore it because his afl games have been totally sub standard.

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,765]

Hmmm...odd one. Can't see Wagner being omitted as others have suggested but I can't think of an another out for Salem so maybe!

if JKH is in who do you suggest is out .... my feeling is that he will be the emergency

[danielE288 779]

Wagner looks visibly dejected at training. I'd say its him.  To bitter and optimistic, ill take a 47 disposal in the VFL JKH over Bugg no question.

He may be, id say Bugg though and he will play forward. Salem for Wagner.

47 touches against Coburg. Bugg offers more at AFL level than JKH.

Like what? Being a pest and missing easy shots at goal. At least give a guy who's had a brilliant VFL game another shot.

could also end up no changes......not saying it will but

Coburg are horrible. Let JKH show consistent form in the VFL against decent to good teams first before rewarding him after one good game against the cellar dwellers. 

Buggs stats at AFL level are much better than JKH's. Plus JKH has twice the amount of clangers.
