Can't believe we are favourites.

In saying that, we are definitely a chance. Harmes to hard tag Fyfe, Hibberd on Walters. Gawn should be able to massacre Darcy, despite how well he played last week against Ryder and Lycett. 

Of course Gawn should give Darcy a touch up however when he feeds the mids they need to look for a red and blue forward instead of bombing the pill. Be a nice change!

interesting to see who mans up on hogan as he plays mostly up the ground and working back, which doesn't suit may as a 'last man back' approach

I thin it'll be a combination of Frost and Lever, Lever when he moves up the ground, he can match him in the air and with the read of the play, while Frost when he goes deeper forward. They only have Cox as another tall forward, so May/Frost will have the right coverage there. 

my ins/outs:

TSmith (for TMac), ANB (for Garlett) and Lockhart (for Wagner)

No, they'll bring him in for the last game of the year and he'll no doubt kick 6 just to make a mockery of our  match committee,

IN - Lockhart, T Smith

OUT - Wagner, Garlett or Spargo.

T Mac one last last chance. If the bye hasn't freshened him up physically and mentally he may have to have an indefinite spell in the 2's.

 

Lock it

Jake Lever in doubt for the weekend with a sore foot. Honestly if this si some sort of stress fracture, can we stop the world because i want to get off.

Honestly, Steven May just said on Fox that he had hurt it before the QB game..  if this is true then its reprehensible from this club.

FB: Hore   May  Hibberd
HB: Jones  Frost  Salem
C: Stretch  Oliver  Fritsch
HF: Petracca  T Mc  Hunt
FF: Smith  Weid   Lockhart
Foll: Gawn Viney  Harmes
Int: Wagner, Brayshaw, Baker, Hannan

Out: Lever, Spargo, Garlett
In: Smith, Lockhart, Stretch

That's what I'd do. Freo spread like crazy. Getting as many runners through the midfield and wings will be vital to stop their run. So even though he's a limited player Stretch comes back in to run with Langdon or Hill. 

Time to give Jones a good run at half back to see if he can reinvent himself. Time to give Smith a fair go at it as the 3rd tall forward to see if that frees up Tom and Sam as it did for parts of the game against the Crows in Darwin. Petracca should get some midfield time as well.

Misson strikes again.

I said a few months ago that he would destroy the club on his way out the door, and hes proving me right.

What about MFC start now with some honest communication with supporters. Why the cat and mouse finding out now. It appears now that he was no chance for this week.

Not criticizing your selections but a very ordinary side.

Hogan has been very, very average this year. Apart  from this last week, of course. Just in time for his game against us... 

?

Hogan to kick 6 on May and hammer the final nails to seal our 2019 season coffin. The most fitting finale of all.

I wonder whether the coaching re-shuffle will also see some immediate player changes? Will, for example, Rawlings seek to make a statement by changing the mix in the forward line? 

Most probably there will be changes - and there are some alternatives worthy of consideration.

Tim as a forward goes looking for the ball, and is more frequently finding it - a great sign. TMac needs a rest, recuperation and respite. Lever should not play with a foot injury. ANB is a must, given Jeffy's form. Wagner could stay in. Lockhart needs to come in. Viney or Jones need to stay out to reduce 'bombing'. Time to bring in Preuss as a forward. Gus to the centre, and Clarrie to deep forward. Stretch and JKH could alternate on a wing and into a midfield roving role. Frosty to play at CHB and feed to midfielders or deeper fwd if he can get a run. Big demand this week on Tracca, Hunt and Harmes - mobility will be everything with these guys.

I'd like to see tsmith play on Ryan, while still going for the ball. He's been there best intercept player so stopping him is a must

That is the most quintessential Melbourne loss ever.

1. Key small forward left alone on his correct side for an uncontested snap shot on goal to bring them within striking distance? Yep!

2. Our last hope for a shot on goal taken from 20 meters almost directly in front, but misses? Yep!

3. Easy opposition transition forward to win the game in the dying seconds? Yep!

4. Let down by a leader with a lazy free kick/possession/lack of awareness? Yep!

Frequently dropping it too. Has Bull ever worn a glove? Might seem like an obvious and dumb idea, but.. just maybe it could give him a little edge in "catching" them like McGovern does with his sticky hands. Borrow Jayden's, he surely doesn't need em!

  In Lewis.....Out J Wagner.......I hope Lever is right to play........  If not bring in Pruess and send TMac to the back          line..............In ANB........Forward pressure.....Out.....Spargo  for reservicing.

 

Tim Smith a chance........ Sorry to say that Garlett is on his last legs.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
