Cripps is still out which should help our cause.

McKay and C. Curnow are out so they have only 1 tall forward.  Those outs were known yesterday so am baffled why we have 3 tall backs in the starting 18. 

They will have a short fwd line and not many talls around the ground so will be planning to play with speed.  Worrying.

If Gawn and Jones don't play that is 4 changes.  So much for developing cohesion among the team.

Maybe we want a top 1 or 2 draft pick so are Tanking!   ?

Clearly we are making decision based on the long term future.

The 2 Wagners and Lewis are our long term future?

ANB and Petty get selected on the ground so guaranteed a game?  WTFFFFFF!

Young Baker must have run over Goody’s cat and it appears JKH then threw it on the BBQ!

Yep and yep again 

If Omac plays I will not renew my membership next year!

Laughable really!

Is this club serious

BAKER IS OUR FUTURE! 

WTF is going on down there??

Haha yeah see my edit note on the post, I missed the use of the sarcastica font the first time...

 

I would have rolled again with Baker as he needs games, but hes been down the last 2 weeks & 15 touches not enough as a mid....

Astounded that JKH cant get a gig especially after hes worked his ring off to get back from a knee injury & his form this last month has apparently been very good.....time to look elsewhere son & hope you find a club that actually cares about you....good luck!

Hannan kissed on the pecker again......time to buy a lottery ticket mate. Lewis really? 

 

 

I would guess that Baker needs a rest. He started well but has been down the last couple. I don’t mind him being dropped and then coming back in soon for another red hot crack

Liked this post because i had typed up something similar, only to delete it a few mins ago.

When we get 1, 2 or 3 i hope we have a trade target lined up to swap it for.

We need more quality NOW, not in a few years. (ofc we also need quality in a few years, but right now is the more pressing need before our list starts its decline)

Is anyone on the market worth pick 2 or 3 though, unless it's out of left field? And shouldn't the priority be to acquire an elite Free Agent so we can actually go the draft and get a ready made player like a Sam Walsh ?

Is that a German WW2 Kruzer tank?

But re selections -IF Gawn plays and aggravates his injury I will seriously not renew, especially as we recruited Preuss exactly for this contingency and this is a meaningless match as our season is over.

So Dunkley in for Baker and Pruess for Smith.  We are going two talls.

I'm happy with that as we are basically talking giving two rookies a stint at the big league to see what is needed and then they go back occassionaly to work on their craft.  Seems pretty sensible given where the season's at.

Smith just can't stay on the park and super unlucky with injury after injury.  Might explain the horribilis that was last week's performance, easily the worst output of the year by any MFC player.  May have been restricted.  I would say he is just too risky to continue gambling with into next year and the FD must be very close to letting him go, if they haven't already made their minds up the red flag must be a good way up the pole.


All i want from this game is for Goodwin to not talk to the press.

His corporate speak makes me want to stick a chopstick in my ears.

Or we could  get a free agent AND trade for a ready made. Kids with talent are great, but our window is (or at least appeared to be) now.

Adding a talented 18 year-old to this list wont see us any closer to a premiership in the next year or 2.

The time for us is now, which is why we went so hard for Lever and May.

This sums up Melbourne perfectly

Talking "window" when we are 1 game away from a number 1 draft pick.

It's a bit of a balancing game, but i think we have to responsibly mortgage for the future and pick up a player that can help us next year. So that's why I think targeting a FA & going to the draft for the first time since 2015 is a better option to address short and long term goals. Maybe we actually need to trade away a player and use a 2nd round pick to bring in a player of high calibre in. If it's ed Langdon then it's pick 20 + Player, perhaps with another freo player or pick coming back. I just don't see who on the market is worth pick 3 right now? Any ideas?

We just need to have been in the ear of someone we need. Contracts dont mean much these days, so if a good player wants to come here, we at least have decent currency to play with (if we end up with 1,2 or 3). 

You have a good point, but i would prefer we roll the dice now, and not go draft again. Our time is (well, obviously not this year) NOW.

18 year old draftees wont be the difference imo.

Free agent, AND a ready made trade. Thats our best bet i believe.

(Obs we have to take a first round pick this year, so your idea probably wins unless we trade out someone decent)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
