Has to come in for Joel IMO and takes Tex.  O-Mac to Jenkins.  Frost to Lynch

Off memory didn't Frost play his best ever game against Walker in our win over there last year. Perhaps he takes Walker.

I've lost all faith in O Mac taking the number 1 forward. Mind you Jenkins ain't a mug either which is the match up you suggested above..

Possibly without Oliver, Harmes, Lever, Viney and Hibberd.

This would be a win to rival the game vs West Coast in 1998 over in Perth.

My memory isn't that kind BBP.  Quite possibly.  Jenkins is as slow as a wet week but yes does have moments.  Frosty on Jenkins might also work with Frosty's speed and run on the counter.

Really? You wouldn't give Omac another shot on the number 1 forward?

BBP might not.

Goodwin will though.

Happy to go with the judgement of a bloke coaching at the highest level over some random, anonymous bloke posting on a football fan forum.

Righto guys, if you're still happy and comfortable with O Mac taking the opposition's premier number 1 forward then I am too....

(I concede we don't really have any other options besides Frost and Pedo)

 

Frost with a clear mandate to lockdown is significantly better as an Alpha defender than Oscar McDonald. Oscar is a bread-and-butter 3rd defender/second defender at best, and with Jake Lever back next year I would go with Frost as our gorilla-minder, Oscar as our 2nd defender, and Lever to hold it all together.

Do we even have any mids left if Clarry goes down?? Might have to convince Daniel Cross out of retirement....

The question is not who our lock down KPD is. it is who is our intercepct player. That is what we are missing

Why does Oliver even need to train? Why do they let him outdoors between games? I mean this is just bad management. 

Stay in your bubble Clayton!

I won't be happy until Clarry Oliver stays in a sensory deprivation tank deep underground for 24 hours a day. We'll wheel him out on gameday of course, after a week of him watching Diesel Williams on repeat…but we'll immediately send him back to the tomb for another 7 days after he's won us the game. Rinse and repeat until we win a premiership.

Smith has to play given there's no Hibberd. Our defensive set up (that doesn't work particularly well) relies on mobile, quick interceptors. Hibberd, Lever, Smith, Frost and even Hunt. Taking Smith out leaves us in real trouble for legspeed, with the exception of Frost. I'm not a fan, but he has to play.

It'll be interesting to see if Clarry and Jesse play...

Copped a knee in the back/hip in 3rd quarter. Played out the game with a limp. Commentators said when it happened that it was the kind of knock that was going to hurt afterwards. Doubt it would have been enough not to play on the weekend. Not that I know. 

The ball had gone past when the foot hit his back and was deliberate i thought.

What's wrong with Hogan? Perhaps the reason he's been a bit off of late? Did he sustain an injury Sat night, I didn't see it.

No injury, just crook. Confirmed by Goody at his presser today. Said he’ll be fine.

The week Hunt looks ready to go, Casey have a bye. Does anything ever work out for us?

He may be an outside chance vs the Crows.   Yes hes been out a while but we need him off half back.

“Should be right to play this weekend” usually equals 6 weeks out at the Dee’s.

Not true.

I've watched Goodwin's conferences all year and when he's said he expects a player to play I can't think of a time they haven't.

Lynch would blow Frost up in the first Q...'Rusty'.

If we stick with the same defence then Frost will take Tex and O-Mac will take Jane.

If Pedders comes in for Tex then I don't know where Frost goes but I think O-Mac still takes Jane...

Bernie Vince gave Lynch a bath when we smashed them earlier in the season. So that match up is a no brainer. 

Then we have O Mac and Frost vs Walker and Jenkins.

The big worry is who plays on McGovern if he plays forward?  Hoping he plays back for them with Doedee likely not playing.

3AW Rumour File 

No names mentioned but a report this morning that a certain midfielder who left training early with a quad strain was sighted not long later at the new Mission Impossible movie with a leggy blonde?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
