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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
