  Lever, Hannan, AVB and Joel Smith... will be so good to have them back.

A star backman, a crafty forward, a raging bull and a great athlete who played great in JLT.  Sadly it will be too late to turn around our season by then though.

Unless they’re all injured on 2020 season eve

If Frost ran through the midfield on a Cripps or Fyfe they’d have 60 & kick 6. The answer to the original question is Frost is delisted at seasons end. He’s not up to it in defence or forward and certainly isn’t a midfielder . As soon as Lever & May are fit it’s OMac & potentially Petty playing for th 3rd tall if required

At this stage I disagree with any talk of delisting Frost. We turned over about a third of our list last year after finishing 4th! Not saying they were all wrong but we now struggle for depth so we don’t have the luxury of dumping guys like Frost just yet. Unless we have identified better replacements from other clubs. 

yes Frost is not a natural footballer, he is an athlete and a quite extraordinary one at that,  big, strong and fast and he can catch a ball and he can kick it long. Just not a lot of finesse.

at the moment we need him down back but if Lever and May come back, can we potentially use him elsewhere? If not the midfield, what about the wing where he can chase and block the opposition transition? Geelong have developed Bliscalvs in that role. Does he have more footy I Q? 

To stress I am not saying this is ideal, it is just trying to make full use of what limited resources we have.

@Drunkn167 any word on Dec making his debut this weekend? Would give me a reason to go...

i reckon he’s got to be a strong chance.

An 194 cm athletic type who can take a mark and play both ends (and relief ruck).  It is something we need.    He deserves  a chance.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,261]

For those that believe in past history:

Round 1 - Richmond beat Carlton by 33 points. Lose to Collingwood by 44 points the week after.

Round 2 - Port beat Carlton by 16 points. Lose to Brisbane by 17 points the week after.

Round 3 - Sydney beat Carlton by 19 points. Lose to Melbourne by 22 points the week after.

Round 4 - GC beat Carlton by 2 points. Lose to Adelaide by 73 points the week after.

Round 5 - Bulldogs lose to Carlton by 44 points. Lose to Freo by 19 points.

Round 6 - Hawthorn beat Carlton by 5 points.

For what it's  worth I wouldnt mind seeing him have a crack in defence. Not like we're playing for sheep stations any longer eh !!

Let's hope so. I really hope Goody is now beyond playing Weid all year for development irrespective of form and pitting T. Smith vs Keilty for that spot this week.

[layzie 32,576]

I think I’ve given up on match selection. I’ve been pretty quiet on DL during the week and it’s pretty much because I have nothing to add lately. How many more changes can we really put through the wash cycle? Oscar to VFL, Weid to VFL, Trac to VFL I honestly think there’s been 3 players that haven’t been suggested a run in the Magoos. 

Keep Hore and Lockhart in, maybe persist with the Stretches and ANBs (mostly through lack of alternatives) and the rest can just happen for all I care.

I hope not. Seriously, 10 disposals at VFL level and people are suggesting he should be promoted!! Would rather persist with Weid as his form will eventually turn. Keilty is just not at AFL standard, that is why he is still a rookie.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,261]

According to Goody, T Mac to return to the fwd line.

I suspect his brother will come back in to play defence while Weed (who’s been putrid the last fortnight) to be dropped. Not sure if a T Mac, Weed and T Smith forward line would function??

So you don't agree with my opinion. Ok, but you might refrain from name calling. Show some respect. 

How about you show some respect for Jonesy who has bled red and blue and then I might return the favour.

Exactly. With Viney out, our team is now weaker. Let’s just hope some attitude and will to win kicks in. How about adopting a “beat your direct opponent and get the footy” mentality. 

[Fanatique Demon 2,620]

So you think name calling is ok. Keep it adult, please.

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,692]

Tmac going forward, and Goody eluding to Weid potentially out (my take on his words). Viney out injured.

I think we could bring in both OMac and Kielty, taller side than last week but we've still got plenty of inside mid strength

As indicated! Might even miss next week!

What is it with MFC and minimising potential out time??

Sheeit Frost is the LEAST of our concerns When ?? And IF?? May and Lever ever make it back to full fitness and play good footy and we have a full complement to choose from ... Guess What???? 

Frosty stays .. In the side as a Tall Wing option!! 

Give the Guy a Break, has been very good this year!

Waiting for these injured players to return is like waiting for a tradesman to turn up. They give you a time, you take time off work, you wait patiently, only for them to reschedule at another time totally unsuitable for you. You want to sack them all but you need someone to do the job. You are stuck and have to resign yourself to be patient again. SO FRUSTRATING. Sort of sums up what being a Melbourne supporter is all about.

Yeah but 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, even closer to 60 years , you are still no closer to getting the damn thing fixed coz you have paid a DEPOSIT!

Ah SWWWEEET MFC! 

Should have gone to specsavers!

[nosoupforme 3,085]
