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)...

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

    Precaution or mind games?

    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.

    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 ??

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

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

    Salem in for ...... ??

    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.

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
