Walker is and always has been an average footballer. I’d be more worried about Tom Lynch he is a gun!

Always reminds me of this bloke... 'greatest brain on the field, great captain etc etc yadda yadda'.

How many games has Petty played? Three? Yet you dills give up on him. What did Tom McD look like after 3?

its the same really with Kielty. Has hardly played. You give guys like this a decent go before you write them off. Don't  You?

 

I specifically said I haven't given up on him. He's still a kid. Of course he might get there eventually, but right now I think he doesn't look ready.

J Wagner and Fritsch are decent AFL players. Fritsch is a genuine forward having to play back because of injuries

Fritsch may be when played in the right spot, J Wagner not even close - his decision making time is way too long for an AFL footballer.

    Spot on Onion, they are similar in many ways...power forwards that could dominate but don't. I hope those words don't come back to bite us on Saturday.

    I think the Weid will play this week after kicking 3 goals against a handy Willo side. Hibberd looks a good thing after training with the squad as is Salem and JFK. Some very handy boys to come in and make us stronger.

    Ins. HIBBERD, WEID, SALEM  and JFK.

    OUTS. C Wagner TSmith  Spargo  -  Petty inj or Hore maybe injured as well.

    Good ins if that's the case. JFK is a small upgrade over Stretch, C Wagner, Lockhart and Spargo.

    I'd probably keep Stretch only because he had a good game in Darwin last year. Happy for the other 3 to go to Casey.

    Rumour on Adelaide Bigfooty board that Matt Crouch didn't get selected, which if true, is a win for us.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
