I am always interested in those that want Salem on a wing. What makes people think he is suited to a wing? Don’t we think that 2 years ago when we tried 10+ players there and no on suited there is a reason he was not one of them. 

That is probably the missing link Red how do you know for sure Salo can't play wing. 
I wouldn't mind him on HFF with cameos on the ball.

I dont. Though  I will back that being we have never put him there the club either feel the same or rate more highly his value out of the back half. My personal view is he does not have the tank or natural want to push up and back to meet the requirements of the role. I also think he is one that reads the ball better with the ball coming at him. I understand that some would love him kicking the ball inside 50 which he could do more as a high half forward. However I do think his best value continues to be off half back.

Could be but surely you saw his last 3/4 games in 2020 he was pushing up from HB to HF and running his hardest ever. He actually impacted games esp the GWS one and even kicked a goal, 

I believe he can become an A grader if he uses his skills and gets a tank and impacts the team performance and would like him up the ground as I believe He also bought Much more urgency to his game .
Worth a try in my opinion.

You expecting us to lose that's a lot of outs for round 2. You don't even have Baker in your round 1 team how can he be dropped when he isn't in the team in the first place.

just a bit of humour...

Defensive wingman; he’s named there but plays role of the 7th defender 

i also had him on a wing but i didn't have a defender on the bench 

INT: Sparrow Brayshaw Jordon Jones

these players will rotate through there/hunt or riv might spend time there too. ik we want to settle the position but no ones claimed it yet

well, based on 7 quarters of practices games...

round 1, 2021?
B: Rivers - May - Lever
HB: Hunt - Petty - Bowey
C : Langdon - Petracca - Salem
HF: Fritsch - McDonald - Neal-Bullen
F: Chandler - Jackson - Spargo
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes
I/c: Jones - Laurie - Tomlinson - Baker
Emerg: Jordon - Sparrow - M Brown - Jetta

unavailable due to injury / fitness is really building up: Viney - Brayshaw - Hibberd - Melksham - Hore - vandenBerg - Weideman - Nietschke - Pickett - Smith - B Brown

Tommo or Petty needed at CHB so Lever can intercept Mark.

Its no good naming a team now that cannot play Due to injury. With respect.

Most of you have Jones in your 22, we have youth with more skill that need game time 

Sparrow Chandler Jordan, give them a go

Not necessarily what I believe is the best 22, but this is the team I believe will play Round 1 based on injuries, form and coach's preferences:

JETTA.               MAY.                   LEVER.     
SALEM.       TOMLINSON.             HUNT. 
BAKER.            OLIVER.          LANGDON.  
SPARGO.     MCDONALD.   MELKSHAM.  
JACKSON.      FRITSCH.       CHANDLER. 

GAWN.         PETRACCA.      BRAYSHAW. 

HARMES.  RIVERS.  SPARROW.  JONES. 


Emergency: Petty, Jordon, Neal Bullen, Bowey.


Injured / building fitness in the VFL:
Pickett, Viney, VandenBerg, Hibberd, Brown, Weideman.

How does Melkshem make it into team No training  other  than rehab TMKnowledge  And Hibberd further advanced and not in !

Jordan deserves a spot I believe also.

Seriously Roost it far and Werribee have you watched the 2 games vs Tigers snd Dogs ???
RIF What  point  Were you trying to get across by posting a 7/1/21 team fir all Jacks? Do you agree or not ?? Or by no comment you are highlighting how far it is off a real collection both any balance and pace.
the FB line with Jets  and Tommo any pace there ?? Riv at CHB yes Change for Tommo maybe BUT if Petty doesn't replace Tommo and/ or Locky ( now injured) with Bowey the next in line.Replace Jetta We may as well not have practice games.

And Werridee why is Hunt at BP?  At least If he plays HB is his possie! Rivers on the bench at least he Has completed the training and is match fit ahead of Hibbo. Petty not better than Tommo? 
 

And Baker yes someone has to play wing  but his form  in both games suggests he is still off the mark fir possessions and skill Salem RIF yes don't mind that. 
Werribee Bakes  has appeared  on the winG in EVERY team since last year You have put up! No other solution to our "other wing" problem despite underwhelming stats in both practice games. 
 

And both have Melksham   on the  HFF on no match practice This year and No form for 2 years!! Chandler or ANB deserve to start at least.

Yes it's only opinion but Pruess in the wet Was head in sand stuff  snd Jets Baker snd Tommo haven't worked  in the 2021 practices so similarly we need a different mix!!

That majestic it even worse !!!! 
Jetta Baker and Tomlinson and Melksham

its not 2018 for Jetta and Melksham form!

And practice matches for Tommo  and Baker do not Come up with BEST anything!

Hunt lucky probably as his best form is 2017!!!!

And really if one of our Key position players goes down where is any backup ie Petty or Tmac or M.Brown I suppose we can swing Weid around  a bit. 
 

In reality Werridee Your selections are  like Goody's very  conservative and no dare or flare! 
And very 2018 ish!  
Ang you have had about  20 goes at it this season so far.

    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
