Looking forward to the typical 'response' win against this mob only to be followed by a loss to Brisbane at the G two weeks later.

Woooohoooo to be a Melbourne supporter.

No Cameron is huge.

It's a pity that Oscar will miss out on taking another scalp.

Don't be mean, Stevie

Greene out. Mumford out. Cameron out. 

Melbourne regain around 450 games of experience with Vince and Jones returning. 

The stars are aligning for the typical 'responding against the critics' type of performance that only comes after a bad loss against an irrelevant team. 

Out: Trengove, ANB, Hogan

IN: Jones, Vince, Weideman 

If Jones and Vince weren't returning this weekend, then I'd be inclined to give Maynard a run. In all seriousness I hope he gets a game soon. His VFL form of late has been amazing.

^ How do we know Mummy is definitely out?

 they are saying Mumford should return. Stevie J has a fitness test.

I suppose it helps when I actually do my research

Courtesy of the Daily Telegraph..."GWS say Shane Mumford should return this week, but Will Setterfield and Steve Johnson face tests."

FB: Jetta  Oscar  Hibberd
HB: Hunt  Frost   Salem
C: JKH   Oliver  Jones
HF: Hannan  Petracca ANB
FF: Watts   Tom Mc   Garlett
Foll:  Gawn  Viney  Tyson
Int:  Maynard,  Vince/Wagner,  Melksham,  Harmes

Out: Hogan (inj), Lewis (rested), Trengove (retired)
In:  Jones,  Maynard, Vince/Wagner

I'd back Hannan in to bounce back unless he's really sore and then maybe bring in Stretch or DJ. 

Up to Goody if he wants to give Vince his spot back or punish his stupidity.

There's no room for Lewis this week. The Giants are too quick in the midfield and run far too hard on the wings. We don't need a loose man back and we can't carry a midfielder with no pace or run, not one who is afraid of putting their head over it either.

Petracca has to go forward and be a creative link player. Bring Maynard in to crash and bash around the packs.

Deledio might come back for them too this week.  Hopper an outside chance after a good game in the NEAFL.  Regardless, this is one game that we can't complain too much about outs - Greene and Cameron are big losses for them and for Freo to run them so close means they can't have been brilliant on the weekend (not that I saw the game).  

Contested ball winners to come in against the hard running GWS. 

I mentioned earlier;

IN- Jones, Vince and Maynard. (Contested ball winners and can run and carry)

OUT- Hogan (inj), Hannan (surely inj and needs a rest), Trengove.

With the way our game plan is set up for our non existent forward. No need for Pedo or Weideman to come in this week. I think Gawn needs to rest forward more and rotate Watts and/or Tmac through the ruck. Need Garlett, ANB, Harmes, Petracca playing at his feet. 

If we want to play a genuine Full Forward Position. Weideman plays for JKH.

I would like to see Lewis drift forward more inside F50. I am not huge on him playing back too much.

 

Cameron set to miss 3 weeks with a hamstring.

No Cameron 

No Greene

No Mummy

No excuses 

Would've thought if the forecast definitely predicts rain we might bring Jones and Vince in for Hogan and either Trenners or Hannan. If no rain, the Weid is a chance

Haven't watched all the game but a lot calling for Hannan to be dropped. He's been bloody good this year for us.

Hannan got  injured  in the  1st half 

"Melbourne forward Mitch Hannan picked up an elbow sprain against North Melbourne and will be assessed this week. "

With Jones and Vince due back, not sure this will be Maynard's week.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Weideman though.

Cheers, I've had about 2 days off in four weeks. Got it recorded on Fox, watched bits and pieces on my phone on Saturday, waiting for a chance to sit down and watch the lot.

I really wouldn't...

Yeah not sure why anyone would willingly subject themselves to that.

Pretty sure Hannan got a heavy tag, heavy as in his direct opponent was watching him at all times instead of the ball

That does help, need just Kelly to get Gastro

......or berri berri fever would be good !!!

We're already chalking up a win based on GWS's outs, days after a poor effort against a wooden spoon contender?

No wonder the server crashes after a loss.

They said Mummy out for a fortnight on GWS' website on Friday. Highly doubt he plays this week.

Agree with the outs.

Jones, Vince & Weideman in.

If Hunt is injured then Maynard gets his opportunity.
