Get Buggy back in against Bris. Watts back in for the Pies. Give Trac a spell for the Pies game.

 

I scratch my head when people on this forum defend guys like Watts until the cows come home year after year despite bringing no intensity or strength to the contest yet guys like Melksham and Harmes are always never given their due credit.  Both of these guys bring intensity and thats all that I want in players. not to mention melksham who has kicked some clutch goals for us in recent times. 

I won't even start talking about Hogan and intensity but why did people ask for Pederson to be dropped? He was BOG yday. 26 touches and 2 clutch goals. You dont drop these guys after some quiet weeks.

Kennedy seems to be consistently good for Casey worth a try?

 

It would be nice to think the Kennedy is potentially knocking on the door

Apparently Salem was reported. Have to see how that pans out.

( No doubt Carlscum medicos scribbling away :rolleyes: )

He is a VFL player forget him.

Maybe so. Could still use some forward pressure, although we weren't bad with it yesterday.

I hope Garlett can lift. He has really gone missing. He did the same thing last season and its why Carlton were happy to trade him. 

We need him in top gear now more than any other. He's due to kick a bag soon.

Let's not get too stuck into Garlett after yesterday's game. He's not a sacred cow but I thought Geary did a fair job on Jeffy yesterday. He was only an unlucky bounce away from two more goals. He's had quiet games but he will be massive value when things click for him.

He seemed on the cusp yesterday and had some bad bounces. He didnt put the cue away which was good and tried all day.I get the feeling he is heading to having a massive game or two. He needs more space and the Saints flooded us.

Also keep in mind he was home during the week for personal matters, hopefully he gets back to what we know his capable of this week. We need him back to his best.

Jeffy was way off his game. Im not potting per se. Its obsevational. He was clearly distracted. Whilst there may well be a reason for it he is out there to play afterall.

Hope he does click soon. He's distinctly un-clicked atm.

(If Salem isn't suspended)


IN: Watts, Salem
OUT: Wagner, Weideman

This

Or Frost in for Weid and then T.Mac forward

Should be a fun contested possession match - our lads vs Beams, Rockliff, Zorko and Rich. Do we have enough on the spread?

That's actually a scary midfield there

Salem unless suspended for Wagner and Watts for Weideman

Garlett has a few credits

Would not be surprised if we rested Petracca and/or Oliver but I hope not.

Cannot see Hogan being ready but perhaps he could  play VFL in the bye week all going well

What makes you think Oliver needs a rest

Every now and then I have to remind myself that Colin Garland is still on our list. Does anyone think he's a chance to break into the side still?

Sadly, like JT, I suspect that the game may have passed him by.

That could well be 2018 deeflog. Word is he (Salem)  will get a big suspension.

Goodwin gave him a name check in his presser, must view his output 'differently''

He also mentioned Maynard in last weeks presser but he still got dropped. For what ever reason Garletts output has been poor - going to ground, missing easy set shots and turning the ball over. I hope he's not dropped because he is needed but this form can't continue much longer.


Success is built on a squad, not a "best 22". We need to pick the best team to suit the circumstances.

We need to beat both Brisbane and Collingwood to make finals.  I'm not under estimating Brisbane, but I'm also aware we play the Pies off a 6 day break and we already have tired and injured players.

Out: Viney, Petracca

In: Maynard, Watts

I'd also like to see Salem for Wagner if he's not rubbed out.

Liked the efforts of Pedo. Got plenty of it. Hope he can retain his spot beyond R23

Yesterday we were better when he was rucking it seemed to me...

Comments from fan sites and a friend at the game mono.

 

Will be interested to see if Bugg is forced to come back through the Dewies and if the club wants to make an example of him.

I for one was extremely disappointed in how they hung him out to dry. Yes what he did was a brain fade but we should support all of our players. I suspect he won't get straight back in.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
