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.  

I haven't got Jetta in the team. Baker needs more than just a few practice matches to cement his spot. Tomlinson is better than Petty if you watched the 2 practice matches you would understand why. Hopefully he will eventually be better but not ATM. Melksham is still better than what we have.

Probably start Bertram on the ground ahead of Bennell & maybe Miller ahead of Bate. 
Apart from that looks good ?

I was just glad 11 years ago me had the sense to not select Scully.

Well as I said W changes need to be made and  2018 be buried from our form line. 
Refusal  to do this  is Restricting the developiment Of Our team by not giving youth an opportunity.

i Think  it's our bottom 6 players That are Importantly preventing us improve snd we Need  to fast track These players.

I don’t see the point in not playing Scully, Strauss and Maric; they’re the future- get them in there!

Tapscott injured?

Have got Melk in and Jets  !

Jets too slow and Melky has not played much so nit match fit and outbid form fir 2 years!!

Hibbo played last night and his season last year was good considering the pressure he was under.

Put ANB on wing move Bowey to BP snd Tommo to CHB Lever to HBF and Jones instead of Melky.

Thats about best but would still have Tommy at FF snd Majak  as Interchange.

Wow. Looks like we’re set for a golden period ahead. Watts Scully Trengove Morton Maric Strauss Grimes Rivers. Frawley and Jones look like great players already. Add in experience of Sylvia, Moloney, Bruce, Davey, Green, Jmac. Jamar and Martin make a good Ruck division.  Add in excitement of Jurrah.  Good times ahead.  
Well it was a reasonable year 2010 (8 wins 10 losses 1 draw - some close losses too - smashed the Swans) and it was a feeling of hope -it was looking ok for the years ahead ... until it all fell apart with GWS + Suns intros, injuries, Scully defection, lack of development Jurrah-going and the stupidity “sacking”junior.

Like Melksham, Jones, Jetta, Tmac, Harmes, Brayshaw, Hunt?  I think we are too readily blaming our least experienced.  It is our mid tier players that need to really just get better.  Seems Lever has really improved so this year, we need more guys in their mid 20's realising their potential and playing with consistency.

Really want us to grab a fast skilled wingman somehow and also a back pocket to replace Jetta. I’m happy the other 20 blokes that I could see on the last Saturday of the year. Fit and firing.

Melksham needs to lift big  time 2020 form not good enough.Not in my team .

Petty for Tommo at CHB  

Bowey for BPocket and ANB for wing.Plus Tmac  if in form for Interchange and Tommo on bench also with Harmes HFF and Hunt the medical sub. Sparrow or JJ on Intetchange!

Probably  wouldn't line up Trac and Clarry put Gus  there' snd Trac  on HFF.

Would like Say Laurie or Rodman to be in 23 really.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
