It is confirmed that Patton is out.

Again, so important that we manage to stop Lobb who was always going to be the biggest thread because of his size.

Big out.. he is the highest ranked forward in the league over the past few weeks. 

No excuses now. We should win

No probs, Oscar and Frosty have got this

 

The opposition always has at least one gun player whose impact you have to minimise, not having Jetta man up on him would probably help.

I predict Harry 'no-name' Himmelberg to kick 11 in Patton's absence.

Nah Stevie J will 'turn back the clock' and win it off his own boot.

Jetta will most likely end up having to play on him.

Sad but true.


Has there been a better interchange than Kelly, Coniglio, Deledio and Corr?

So they're missing Cameron (42 goals), Patton (36) and Greene (33).

Interestingly, Patton and Cameron were also missing the last time we played them and won, while Greene hadn't reached star status yet.

GWS are nuts bringing in deledio he has played 2 games in neafl played 2 quarters in 1 game and 3 quarters in the other, massive step up back to AFL I'm surprised  they didn't give him a full game 1st, big big risk

That's 5.84 goals per game roughly, that's bloody handy.

"A lot of MFCSS on this page, I sense"

Someone needs to brush up on their Yodaisms:P

The gws line up is intimidating. Stars on every line. Two fwds out helps us but their midfield talent is by far the best in the league. They ran into some form in the last quarter last week. 

I can't see us winning. But there's always a chance in this crazy season

Hard to fathom that Corey Maynard hadn't played a game of footy in ten years prior to this season. And now he's playing an AFL game.

There's hope for us all.

What's the difference between 'rested' (Hannan) and 'omitted' (JKH and Trenners)?

My understating of AFL rules is that omitted players can play and be listed as emergencies, but rested players technically have an injury and so under the AFLPA agreement have to be left out.

Thats how I've heard Chris Scott explain it anyways.

That's what has me worried.

Agreed.  That is the issue - they have plenty of goal kicking mids so still have plenty of scoring power.  In 2015 their midfielders tore us apart with quick clearances and quick goals.

We have quite a different team now but they have shown they can win games without their talls.  They should not be underestimated.

GWS midfield weakness is that they don't defend so well.  That is a plus for us.

The big test:  Gawn vs Mumford.  Whoever wins gives their team the edge.  Both are rusty.  Will be a fascinating match up.

To close to pick:huh:

    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.
