Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 6

The issue with Gawn is himself. Constantly tapping to outnumbered areas, to opposition players, gets angry and belts it away where the other team swoops for a fast breakaway, flicks over the back without watching who’s there, it’s a real issue and look completely like he’s getting ahead of himself, or just not smart. He’s getting a lot of hit outs but I’ve been really disappointed in Max so far, he needs to be smarter than this. It could be the difference between winning and losing.

Opposition have been sharking his taps last two weeks, and he has Missed his connection with Viney. Agree he has also seemed a little careless last two weeks, might also be our midfield a little off!

We've kept both ANB and Harmes. Insane.

We cannot keep giving ANB games because he clocks up big running numbers. We cannot keep giving Harmes games because he tackles. Neither of them do anything else and it's costing us.

Good decision to drop Stretch. We don't need to see another game from him to know he isn't good enough.

Will be interesting to see if we play either of Hannan and Fritsch. I would have included one or both of them for ANB/Harmes. Since we're not dropping either of them, it becomes much harder to see where Hannan/Fritsch slot into the side.

Amateur hour at Dees selection!!

ANB keeps his spot because he covers a lot of ground and should in reality do a good job of spreading. Which suits our game style. 

Harmes for me is a mystery. Has been ordinary for literally his entire career. 


You would expect if named McDonald plays and so does Spargo since they tweeted it out. Suspect the last 2 sports will be Fritsch and Joel Smith. Imo neither Wagner or Garlett should hold there spots

He did lay 9 tackles against Richmond, so not exactly "done nothing".

Yep second to the ball! Park footballer no more no less!

I don’t agree, he tapped it to 3 tigers in the square on Tuesday, it was beyond stupid. Always going to be sharking but he needs to think about what he’s actually doing imo

Keep Garlett especially at Etihad. The Pies small forwards had a picnic so will Jeffy.

Hopefully Wagner goes Joel Smith has done nothing to warrant selection.

The reason ANB and harmes keep their spot is they run and spread and we have no one that can replace them. Even though they are playing poorly

Assiming fristch, Lewis, spargo in for the three outs, who do we bring in to give us run?

I could have sworn Pedersen was coming in but T-Mac makes the world of difference. Can’t see Joel Smith getting the nod. I would say Fritsch in for Kent and maybe Hannan for Trac

Hope he plays,  is on extended bench 

 

They wouldn’t name him, if he wasn’t going to play.

So Wagner survives due to no pressure from below. Great...

WHAT A [censored] JOKE!

PEDO NOT EVEN ON THE BENCH. WELL HIS PAPERS ARE STAMPED HE WON'T BE AROUND NEXT YEAR. IF HE CAN'T GET A GAME WITH HIS FORM HE'LL NEVER GET A GAME.

ANB AND HARMES CONTINUE TO GET A GAME. THE SELECTION COMMITTEE ARE A BUNCH OF MORONS.

Congrats to Spargo, I doubt McDonald will play considering he trained at Casey.

Lucky we are playing Essendon we wouldn't be able to beat another side on paper.

POSSIBLE LINE UP

B: J.WAGNER, O.MCDONALD, JETTA

HB: BRAYSHAW, LEVER, HIBBERD

C : HUNT, OLIVER, SALEM

HF: NEAL-BULLEN, HOGAN, MELKSHAM

F: GARLETT, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH

FOLL: GAWN, TYSON, JONES

IC: SPARGO, LEWIS, VINCE, HARMES

EMERG: HANNAN

5 goals and BOG in a loosing side.  Seriously don't understand why he isn't in the side (or wasn't last game against the Tigs for that matter).  Weid still offers way too little other that a hope that he will one day be great.

Pedo is the Dean Jones of the MFC.

Not necessarily, if he was definitely going to play he would be named in the 18, not on an extended bench.

No he gets dropped. McDonald to replace him. McDonald to go back until we are in trouble then he goes forward.

Tom has been training as a forward all preseason, has said every time he is asked he will play forward. Think Jesse will spend more time up the ground

We MUST make a statement here ...... an emphatic win, no half hearted efforts.

Anything less will mean curtains for this list and possibly the club, which survived the darkest years mainly due to the name, MELBOURNE

I don’t agree.  After being out for so long, if they thought he needed a VFL game he wouldn’t have been named.

i think he is a certain starter

TMac probably trained with Casey, because Melbourne are only having a light run during the week.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
