    Good effort to suggest changes clearly without watching the game but they should be as follows:

    OUT: T. McDonald, Melksham, Jackson
    IN: Weideman, Pickett, Lockhart

    Smith gets a reprive up forward where he belongs.

    Out : 1 point win

    In    : 30 point loss

     

    Seriously, we are still a terrible team/club. To think that Peter Jackson once said in the press that it was "Offensive" to suggest Goodwin wasnt a good coach.. The only part that is offensive is the length of contract this bloke has.

    We are going NOWHERE with him at the helm.

    Big winner today was Norf.

     

    We cant make enough changes to that error-plagued and lazy outfit to make much difference next week. 

    Beyond disappointing.

    Let’s worry about the changes after we find out who played well for Casey.

    It is not just ins and outs. Look at three big name signing.

    May is not a fullback, dominated games at GC as a half back  

    Lever is only useful as a third  tall.

    Tomlinson is ok but not a wingman, 

    And then there are the regulars, Jetta sadly is near the end. brayshaw is a plodder. Vineys role should be replaced with Harmes. Without the bullocking Viney is a rover to ther best ruckman in the league, Whoever is at his feet should be starring. Old school second rover for mine. Neil-Bullen far too happy with himself. It just goes on and on. Loved Petraccas game but to hear him say the BLues are a really good team is ridiculous. Sire say they gave hard competition, but a good team. No.

    Goodwin is simply not up to it...

    Weideman for Jackson. I'm not critical of Jackson but he's raw and will take time. Weid has to be ahead of him at this point.

    Pickett for ANB.

    OMac for Smith

    Also need to find a way to get vandenBerg in.

    Agree, except I'd keep Jacko in

    Hear you on both Weid and Jackson. Like to get Jackson at least two to three games. Agree on OMac and Pickett. VDB for Melksham maybe. 

    The good news is that Weid reportedly kicked 5 or 6 goals in the scratch match. The bad news is so did Brown apparently.

    melksham and t mac on thin ice

    at this stage i think - on the g - you need some tall targets to kick to, so i'd give lj a reprieve this week

    IN: weed, o mac
    OUT: jones, smith

    sad to see nate go out like he is - looks a shadow of his former self

    anb and hunt did their roles; pickett will need to wait, silly boy

    I dont see why we can't play all 3 of Jackson, McDonald and Weideman.

    Yet instead of having a skinny half forward flanker at full forward why not stick Weid or McDonald down there instead. Use Jacko as the backup ruckman, and leave Weid and McDonald as genuine key forwards.

    Jackson showed there is something to work with. Feel like that more game time and experience the better.

    Gotta get Kossi and Vanders in there as well.

    Gee I'm glad Smith is in for Omac   oh [censored]

    We need Fritsch to play forward   oh [censored]

    Melksham back in makes the forward line better   oh [censored]

    Great to see Jacko in for trade bait Weid   oh [censored]

    Is Petty injured? He looked okay 

    yes

    Changes:

    Need a tall back, not a brainless kangaroo.  That means OMac in for Smith.

    Weid to come in to provide a true marking option forward.  Fritsch to hff to deliver.  Kosi in.

    I have trouble dropping Jones, but he is under the pump.  As is Melk.

    Would persist with Jackson.  Nibbler probably for the chop.

    Goody should make a statement.  That was just weak.  A small amount of pressure and the Dees crumbled.  Our ‘speed’ tactic hardly paid off.

    For what it's worth, and I know some people lament him on here, but I would pick Weid before I picked Tmac, at least he gets involved in the play enough to warrant selection.

    Hope Hannan pulled up well after the scratch match. Takes Melskham’s place for mine.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
