Brisbane's starting midfield is as good as any in the competition and we can't afford to let them waltz out of the middle without applying pressure. Even the most ordinary forward line will kick goals when the ball is delivered well.

We will know within the first 15 minutes whether the players are switched on or not. Hopefully they are and we can pick up some percentage as well as the win. 

Hopefully we pick our best 22 this week instead of gifting games to the likes of Weideman.

Mate we will know in the first 2 mins if we r switched on or not.

Interestingly, there's a big key forward for the opposition in the votes for each of the games we lost.

Correct (except for the Freo game). But careful or the Oscar lovers will come and get you. And you'll be re-educated that its actually the midfield at fault....

I'm heading over for this game. If Rhys Mathieson plays for frees I will consider running onto the ground and throwing pitted kalamatas at him while beating him with a baguette.

Would that be from the second level outside the Long Room as last weeks gentleman was enjoying a cheese platter?

I'd love us to get off to a blistering start and just never stop. We're yet to truly destroy a team, closest we've come is the doggies game. It was pretty much a 4 quarter effort. 

If we bring that same game vs the Lions we should absolutely murder them. Conversely, we bring the attitude from the North Melbourne games we could have some nervous Dees fans. 

C'mon dees, bring your best and get the job done!

Viney out according to 7. Not good but hopefully just a freshen up.

Agree totally. Lions mids are guns. We need to nip it in the bud from the bounce. No fancy shite just hard at the ball.

Jesse is back!!

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-08-17/hogan-back-viney-to-miss-through-injury

Best wishes, Jesse!

Hogan has been named in the starting 18, while Stretch, Kennedy, Wagner, Maynard, utility Angus Brayshaw, forward Mitch Hannan and tall Sam Weideman have been named on the extended bench.

Hogan named! Stretch, Kennedy and Maynard fill out the extended bench.

Probably a good game for Viney to miss. We need him fully fit for next week and beyond.

Posted (edited)

Great to see Jesse return and test it out this week rather than next. Hoping for a bench of Brayshaw, Stretch, Hannan and the forgotten man BenKen. 

Not surprised that Watts was not even shown as a chance on the extended bench.

Melbourne team: round 22

B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta

HB: Jordan Lewis, Tom McDonald, Jayden Hunt

C: Dom Tyson, Nathan Jones, Clayton Oliver

HF: Alex Neal-Bullen, Jesse Hogan, Christian Petracca

F: Jeff Garlett, Cam Pedersen, James Harmes

Foll: Max Gawn, Bernie Vince, Jake Melksham

I/C (from): Angus Brayshaw, Billy Stretch, Mitch Hannan, Sam Weideman, Ben Kennedy, Josh Wagner, Corey Maynard

In: Hogan, Stretch, Kennedy, Maynard

Out: Jack Viney (foot)

 

IMO Brayshaw, Stretch, Hannan and Ben Ken or Maynard will stay in the 22

Viney will be a loss in the midfield but offers an opportunity for others like Angus, Billy S, Maynard to step up in the midfield

I reckon Maynard will get another crack this weekend. He was pretty unlucky to be dropped after the GWS game.

Surely Hogan cant play after breaking his collarbone 3 weeks ago?

How is this possible....   I know nothing about collarbones but it seems pretty incredible.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
