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

 

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?

    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.

    Why the [censored] did they rush him? I just can’t with this club’s injury management.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
