I'm really quite surprised that so many on here are missing the cues from Goodwin.   His agenda and that of his coaching panel is to win a premiership for the MFC.  There are non-negotiables in how yo

Regarding Salem if he was injured they wouldn't bother having him as omitted. I know he hasn't found form yet and had a bad game last week but I thought his ball use and touch of pace off half back would be pretty key against this faster side who really feast off poor ball use coming out of the oppositions backline.

As for Frost I thought he would potentially be the best match up (in tandem with the Macs) for Roo with his closing speed. So I'm sure its probably not true but would the club know that Reiwoldt is out?. Anyway I guess they're wanting more from Sam which hopefully he can achieve with a week at Casey.

Agreed.

Weird that they don't state injury as the reason for dropping Salem, despite looking very sore at one stage last week. Surely he wasn't dropped on form?

I thought he and Watts were both off in the non negotiables and said so after the game.   He deserves to be omitted.

While he may deserve to, this is not a game to be making a statement. If he goes then we have pedo and weideman as the talls up forward... that.. is terrifying.

I have a feeling we will get flogged.  Unfortunately. Iwould have both Watts and Weideman playing but if wet then only one. Don't like the 2 outs especially Frosts run so I hope goody has this right. Our full forward line looks horrible. Put petracca at full forward.

I don't think it's making a statement dropping a non performing footballer

Reiwoldt has been named as an 'out' - no guesswork here. Right call to rest Frost.

With Frost out, it certainly wouldn't surprise to see T Mac go back with his brother to play on Bruce and Membrey.  I think Watts survives as Goodwin has shown a preference for 3 talls in the forward line, so I can see him going with the mix of Watts, Pedo and Weideman down there.

Make no mistake, we are a big chance this weekend to turn our season around.  We've had a very disappointing two weeks, but we've hopefully gotten those two weeks out of the way before the season is a total disaster.

You may be loyal but you remind me of the 'supporter' sitting in front of me at a certain match. Every time Watts went near the ball he'd start making negative remarks, bemonaing the worst #1 pick of all time.  Didn't even notice when Watts did something very skilful which led to a goal.  He seemed to get more joy out of bagging Watts than anything else.  I wondered why he followed the footy at all.

Will be sunny and 19.

We will only get flogged if our mids get man-handled like GWS.

saints mids are so far off from GWS quality that we will need a run of injuries on the day to get flogged

MODS - THERE ARE ONCE AGAIN TWO THREADS RUNNING IN PARALLEL.

PLEASE MERGE.

Preferably in the future, leave the speculative one running up until the official team list is announced, and lock the other one until the same time.

Only then can we seperate the speculation from the facts.

 

MONOCCULAR - WE DONT READ OR SEE EVERY THREAD - WE BROWSE THE FORUM AS PER OUR INTERESTS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. IF SOMETHING NEEDS ATTENTION, REPORT THE POST AND ALL THE MODS WILL GET A NOTIFICATION, RATHER THAN YELLING IN A THREAD.

That was annoying to type on my phone.

On selection, Frost has been hopeless for the last two weeks. I'm surprised people are surprised.

Can't see them going through the hoopla of naming Brayshaw if he's not playing. Think he'll be joined on the bench by Weid, with two of Harmes, Watts and Maynard competing for the last two places.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
