I think 2 games in 5 days will see him back against Essendon

[Lord Travis 10,271]

Our changes are decent IMO. They've lost some best 22 players to injury and suspension, so that helps us. Let's see if the boys can fire up this week after sh*tting the bed last week against the Hawks.

Disagree about pedo. The weed has shown good form at casey and is the future. Games like this will only help. If he can't mark then spoil for the crummers.

Or even Chianti maybe? 

[SFebes 4,694]

Petty and Smith emergencies, says a lot about our depth

[Wiseblood 24,636]

I like the changes this week. 

Weidmann gets a chance which is great, which gives us the second ruckman we need and a taller player to complement Hogan, especially when he pushes up the ground. 

Tyson coming in adds a good, solid mid to the mix and allows us to potentially play Oliver forward a little more. 

Stretch and Hunt give us some outside run which is something we have lacked a little of. 

I'd love the get a win this week and I think this team gives us a shot at it.

Has had one good game at VFL against a bottom dweller? Agree hes the future (hopefully)

[praha 10,360]

Our best team for the year imo.

Fritsch probably unlucky.

[Demonland 66,461]

[chook fowler 18,392]

Like the ins. Would have preferred Fritsch over Melksham.

I want to see Hunt take the game on and break the game open like he did last year. Goody says he had discovered thjat aspect of his game again in the magoo's. That's great because it was non-existent in the rounds before he was dropped. Mind you, the whole back six have been ordinary since we brought that potato gem Lever in. (jokes) sort of..

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

I'm all for getting some games and experience into Weed. Part of me is a bit meh on it tho. I hate Richmond more than any club, and it's such a big stage and important game that could be season defining. Against what was the best defence in the game last season with some experienced defenders, he'll more than likely get eaten alive. And that SHOULD be ok. We need to find out about him. Just a shame for the desperate-for-a-win crowd, like me, as Pedo would have been the better in IMHO for the next 4 quarters of MFCs life.

I hope it's part of a bigger plan that he misses tomorrow but ones straight back in for Sunday

[Jaded No More 59,128]

I would say Fritsch having a rest and might be back for Essendon off a short break. 

I worry about losing leg speed but I suppose Hunt and Stretch in balance that out a bit. 

Not confident at all.

I must have missed that in his game at Coburg.... boy Goody does love the spin

[Gator 16,921]

Good changes, although I like Fritsch.

Rapt with the Weideman decision. 

Pedersen is a dud key forward at AFL level, which has been proven time and time again. 

[wizardinoz 2,081]

Harmes must be mowing Goodwin's lawn's. Prefer Frisch over either him or Stretch.

We all want to win. 

You do realise that Weideman played in our best win last year ?

[Ethan Tremblay 28,535]

Good changes, Melksham must have solid photos of Goody.

Absolutely, Harmes and Melksham should have been out before Fritsch, good stuff the Weed is in, he needs to stay in for at least a month
