Hogan gets another chance and petracca would want to lift

Hunts out injured and as for Garlett, there's a position there for him if he pulls the finger out at Casey tomorrow. Same for Weideman...

Hunt is out injured for 4-6 weeks. Agree Garlett needs to come in. Our forward line is a shambles and needs a spark. He can provide that spark and is a genuine goal scoring option.

In Weed or Garlett. 

Out. Trac or Hogan 

sorry a message needs to be sent

Hogan probably stays on this years form. Love Trac but like Hunt needs some time to get himself right in the magoos

Petty and Baker must come in we are too slow and small down back. Garlett must also come in.

Forget about the 3 tall forwards and drop Tim.Smith, drop Joel as well and drop Petracca he's been disgraceful. Hogan hasn't been much better the last 2 weeks he must lift.

 

IN: Petty, Baker and Garlett

OUT: Tim.Smith, Joel.Smith and Petracca

I want to see Petty get a game. Don't like the under-sized backline. Put him on McCartin who is also a young player.

Either Spargo or Garlett also in, whoever performs better at Casey this weekend.

Doesn’t matter who plays well at Casey tomorrow. Garlett can kick 10 and the usual suspects will bob up to say it was against an amateur side in Coburg. 

Love it when people suggest Garlett doesn’t do enough in the VFL but we bring guys straight back in without playing VFL.

I would like to see Garlett back in the mix. I feel we're throwing away an asset due to a stubborn insistence on performance at the secondary level - which is reasonable, but you also have to manage your particular players in terms of their specific strengths/traits/personalities, and Jeff has never had the mojo at lower levels. 

Kicked nearly 120 goals in the last few years - a good many from rewards for forward pressure - and that potential doesn't evaporate overnight after a couple week performances. Charlie - love him - won't be offering anything anywhere near that in the short-term. 

Injured/dropped (I can't recall - but I think an ankle) in 2016 and came back and kicked 4 the next time out. Dropped (this time pretty sure) later in the year and - after doing nothing at Casey - came back and kicked 4 on recall. 

Missed last year after West Coast (I think again as a wake-up - and did nothing in the reserves) and came back and kicked 3 against Carlton. Won the match for us this year v Brisbane with 4, backing up with 3 the following week, and two weeks later he is gone (when we got hammered in the middle by Hawthorn and Richmond). 

We simply can't afford to leave him in the wilderness based on some strict KPI's - one of the league's classiest finishers. Please, Goodwin and co. - be flexible in your approach and bring Garlett back in.

Next week probably isn’t the week to bring in another tall back like Petty, there isn’t an obvious match-up requirement. But I’d like to see him sooner rather than later in a game with two big opposition forwards.

I’d swap Tim Smith and Tyson for Weid and Garlett.

Weid in because, while I like Smith’s endeavour, he just doesn’t impact the game and was smashed by Dixon and Westhoff in the relief ruck role tonight. Garlett in for Tyson as we are already balls deep in inside mids but someone who can add some spark would be welcome. We were crying out for an opportunistic goal almost all night and Jeffy seems to have that ability. ANB hangs on despite the awareness and skills of my 16 month old son because he adds a little bit of value with his F50 tackling.

I think its nearly time for Garlett again,,, but also it could be Spargo who may come back in, after a week off ?

If not Spargo, maybe Baker to a wing ?

 

I wonder if Petracca needs a week, to rest his weariness off ?

I would not drop Tyson after just the one game...  and similarly, Joel smith. I like his size difference down back flank. And he needs all the in-game development he can gather.

 

We very nearly, (and should have) taken the points over in Adel' town.   And we had so many players just a bit off touch, because of intensity.

 

So thee is very little to do at the moment.  Except continue getting games together as a unit,,, while they deserve them.

FB: Hibberd  Oscar  Jetta
HB: Salem  Petty  Fritsch
C; Tyson  Oliver  Jones
HF: Spargo  Hogan   Melksham

Foll: Gawn  Brayshaw  Viney
Int: J. Smith, Harmes,  T. Smith, ANB

Bye bye: Vince, Lewis
In: Petty, Spargo

Very open to dropping Harmes and Petracca but the forward/mid stocks are light on as it is and we have to redeploy Fritsch to half back to replace Lewis and bring in Spargo as is.

Petracca's fine. He had more disposals and more marks than his fellow forwards, ANB, Melksham and Hannan, and I don't see too many calling for their heads.

People should stop expecting him to be the second coming.

Im calling for ANB's head.

Does absolutely nothing in tightly contested matches, aside from running around creating packs.  Has great effort and tries hard and clearly loves playing for Melbourne which is great, but an incredibly limited and over-rated footballer, who the opposition would be putting no time into.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50.
