Cannot understand the Trengrove selection but good luck to him.

The others are very important ins who together with an improving Hogan and Gawn should give us a chance against Port. Perhaps more importantly they should all be match fit for North and the run home.

Whats the feeling on garlett?

Has he been named as hes definitely playing, or are they giving him all the time he needs in case he can make it back for the game?

Mystery at this stage?

We are still $2.23 get on it that price won't last long 

Viney will be playing in pain, Tyson, Salem and Watts are coming off injury and Trengove hasn't played for 12 months.

I'm happy with the inclusions but we are facing an in-form Port Adelaide who have almost no injuries.

If he's named he is playing.

Psychologists  all agree the best way to beat grief is by kicking multiple goals for the MFC.

He had to get one right as he's been wrong on his last half dozen.  

That goes for me too.

Trengove selection makes sense. Why bring in a guy, that went through all he has in the past few years with confidence issues stemming from early captaincy and injuries, when half the side (and most of the midfield) are out of the team? Basically throwing him to the wolfs again with his career on the line. He'd have the limelight completely on him, with expectations that he'd have to carry the midfield in his first game back.

 

I've got no doubt Goodwin's wanted him in the side the past few weeks. Goodwin noted "he's been in terrific form". I believe the past few weeks Goodwin's had to throw the lines in about Trengove being close and having to "work on things" as an excuse to avoid the real reason for Trengove's absence during the past few weeks of injuries to the team. 

 

This week in fact is the best possible time for Trengove to come in. We have our A grade midfielders back, which takes away the spotlight and reliance on Jack to HAVE to have a good game. This takes so much pressure off of him. Now he comes in knowing he doesn't have to be the star or the leader, but just play his role and be part of the group. 

 

No doubt he'll still be playing for a new contract, but this way the circumstances are tailored in his favour. 

 

Absolutely the right call by Goodwin and co.

Looks like I will be putting a few coins in the metaphorical swear jar .

I hate Nicholls- he's a trounced up affront to humanity.

When the revolution comes,and it will,I will have a special slow conflagration for this man.

Yep...  me too  :-/

I cant remember leaving a Matthew Nicholls game happy that it has been officiated well.  Even for neutral games not involving our lot.

The most consistently inconsistent umpire going around.

From the sounds of it, Viney has been playing in pain since last year. I think hell be fine. The others havent been out for that long like Gawn and Hoges. Jack is the unknown.

This is the strongest 22 we've had on the park since round 1 I reckon.

    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
