As a supporter and member I can please myself as to my views.

I can't stand Bugg and hope he's played his last game in red and blue.

Mainly because he's sh1thouse.

I just don't get that Pro Dee. We differ here.

Out: Bugg, Viney, Tyson, White.

In: Kent, Trengove, Maynard, JKH.

Wagner deserves to be dropped, but I can't see anymore than 4 changes. We are running out of fit bodies to run out in the park.

Just a quick one on Maynard - can we upgrade him, or do we need to place someone on the LTI to do it?  Not sure if being a Category B rookie changes anything.

(If Hogan, Garlett and Watts come in it will more than compensate.)

 

None of those players are inside mids, won't compensate anywhere except the team sheet. Contested ball is our BRAND.

And why wouldn't Watts play??

What a disappointment this guy is.  He picks and chooses and rarely goes for a hard ball.

Agree, would prefer a little more than his marshalling ability and space occupation

Still has to get through a test. I have Jack and Jeffy down as questionable. I hope both are back but I'm looking at options if those 2 can't get up.

Thought I heard Jon Ralph say Watts was only likely to return round 18.

Carlton: Marchbank (right shoulder), Plowman (dislocated finger), Weitering (ankle)

 

Hopefully all three miss. We deserve some luck.

I think they all played out the game didn't they?  So I doubt they miss

John Ralph would have no more idea than the man in the street. Goodwin said he was a chance which to me means not this week but next

I don't think Maynard comes in.  Although he is finding the ball, I don't think his skills are up to it yet.  

Out:  Viney, Bugg, Tyson and White

In:  Hogan, Garlett, Smith and Kennedy

Watts comes in of course if available

Gee, if Marchbank & Weitering miss that would be huge.Yes,not their elite midfield but would seriously affect their structure. Wishful thinking.?

 To me it doesn't matter who is out of an opposition team cause it doesn't matter. 

We just need to beat them no matter who is or is not playing.

It could be time to get creative again maybe play a loose man behind the ball and tag their play maker off half back Doherty for starters. 

Only play guys who are fit witha view to pinch a win or two over the next month and come home strong when we get players back in 4 weeks or there abouts .

I suggest we put a false nose and moustache on Bugg and let him run amok

Give johnstone or kielty a go, really need to see if our depth players are up to scratch 

There's depth players & then there's lambs to lions.. Both no where near ready. I've watched both in the VFL.

I'd like hope they would take Trengove over Kennedy. At least Trengove can use it!

I don't disagree but I think his papers have been stamped unfortunately.  His leg speed hasn't helped

It allows petracca to go into the mid full time for one, secondly watts and Garlett are much better uses of the ball meaning it won't be turned over as much when compaired to say White and Wagner. Additionally it gives the team more structure. I'm not saying u win finals without them but a team like Carlton with 4 wins shouldn't be a problem. If it is we are kidding our self about having any sort of impact come September. Very rearly does a team have there best 22 or even best 18 any given week if dees can't beat a team that sit on 4 wins after 14 games with 3 mids out we have bigger problems than injuries

Maynard will surely play, hes 25, a mature body, smooth mover and is racking up the footy in VFL.  Why draft him if we arent gonna play him when our midfield is depleted?

In -     Hogan, Garlett, Maynard, J.Smith

Out - Viney (inj), Tyson (inj), Bugg (susp), White 

 

Harmes, ANB and Stretch all need to lift, they were pitiful vs the Swans and are lucky to be in the team.

    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.
