GAME DAY: Melbourne vs Richmond - JLT #1

Petty’s probably a year off in terms of getting his weight where he wants it to be but he’s definitely playing above it today.

I wonder do we take the risk & put him in the 22 round 1 ? I’m wondering if we put him in Lever’s spot until Lever gets back ? Gives him half a year of what it’s like playing regular first grade football so hopefully he can turn into our second key backman next year.

 
 

I know it's only JLT but I would drag Frost I'd I was Goody.


Who the hell is this Balta person.

Our disposal is woeful. 

Again, much of it coming from the depth players.  It's not even a blip on the radar.  Change out many of those for the 8-9 we have missing today and we're away.

    I want Salem to be a midfielder - but he just isn't. He is far more effective down back.

    Salem is our sweeper in the backline

    the depth players are showing very little... disappointing

    That's why they're depth, Jim.  They are being relied upon in this game to do more than usual and it shows.  That's what JLT is for.  Guys like JKH, Stretch and others are spending far more time in the midfield without Viney and Jones in there, while our backline has struggled without May, Hibberd, Lewis and Jetta (plus Lever, but as we know he's out for a while).

    I'm impressed with the side we have in that we're level at half time and we've played some excellent passages of footy.

    Not a good sign re: our depth then. 

    Yes, but very different when you have one or two depth players amongst a settled line up. Back line especially is pretty well all second-choice.

    I disagree.  It's why we class them as depth.

    Plus it's March.  Every first up game has these sort of turnovers.

    Brayshaw probably to the main offender, which is annoying because he is a ball magnet.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
