That would make far more sense.

Would be happier to drop Tyson, Play Fritta on a wing and use Smith up back!

Not a defender at all Winger or smart HFF For mine!!

I remember Smith last year against Saints before he did his shoulder and playing pretty well on Rooey! 

Gets my nod!

Tyson very fortunate!

To be honest I think I would prefer Fritsch to Hannan up forward. To me he offers far more.

 

I feel for Bailey if he has been dropped, but Smith gives us the best chance in defence of negating WC's talls. If we win the midfield battle, they won't be getting any easy ball in there and winning one on ones may be important

I think other than the Petty selection, the FD IMO has done pretty well and we are in a Prelim after all.

Frost not playing for so long might be the other one.

Hannan is a much more dangerous player and harder at it.

Think Goodwin said today that if Melbourne win on Saturday a number of players will be pulled from the Casey game on Sunday for back up should anything go wrong during the week. 

Why on earth would you do that? The whole (uninjured) team will be available, albeit with a 6-day break, further, all will have a VFL Premiership under their belt! Stupidest idea I have ever heard! I want to see two Demon Premierships in 2018! ?

Channel 7 just confirmed Fritta got dropped for J.Smith

 

Official Smith for Fritsch:  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-09-20/preliminary-final-team

The emergencies Jay Kennedy Harris, Jayden Hunt, Fritsch and Tim Smith two of whom will go to Perth

Bad luck Bayley....   maybe back in for the Grand Final.

Sheppard out for the Eagles.

Heartbreak for the kid, but Joel is a better defender and a good intercept mark.

We need our best possible defensive set up to combat the likes of Kennedy,Darling, Rioli, Ryan and LeCras.

We've lost one of our best kicks.

In a game that will be hot on a fast track, who would you prefer kicking the ball into the forward line, Fritsch or Tyson?

Tyson isn't as bad as people make it seem. Like i said Fritsch was guilty of blazing away and not picking out a target.

Can only feel for Fritz, has had an amazing year.

Hopefully Joel steps up to the plate!

The kid will spew but I suspect it's a decision based on aerial defensive skills.

 

Well. I feel a bit better knowing we have now given ourselves a plan B incase darling or JK gets off the leash. 

 

truth be told...how nice it is to be in the position to have to make heartbreaking decisions...


Well I gotta say Tim Smith AS EMERGENCY IS EVEN A BIGGER SURPRISE!!

Jeffy? Pedo?? Bigger call!?

Well there is no room for sentiment. Feel for Fritta but cest la vie...

feeling confident our pressure will pump them. All the pressure is on them really...

Very tough on Fritta, he’s had an excellent year and has done very little wrong. 

Big call from the selection committee but I’ll back Smith in.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
