classy dees 42 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Byron and Brock back for saturday's game, http://www.melbournefc.com.au/Default.aspx...mp;newsId=39605 Good news. plus junior and green getting a rest. squad: Nathan Jones, Clint Bizzell, Ben Holland, Brock McLean, Matthew Bate, Brad Miller, James Frawley, David Neitz, Daniel Ward, Adem Yze Lynden Dunn, Travis Johnstone, Chris Johnson, Brad Green, Daniel Bell, Brent Moloney, James McDonald , Russell Robertson, Nathan Brown, Jared Rivers, Cameron Bruce, Byron Pickett, Jeff White, Ryan Ferguson, Aaron Davey, Mark Jamar, Nathan Carroll, Matthew Whelan EDIT: this listed squad and the description seem to be out of whack ... green and macca listed and buckley/garland not. spose this article has come from afl.com.au however ....
Jarka 767 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Wise move with Pickett, he needs as close to a real match as possible to build his fitness, playing him with Sandy is really just a waste of time.
Apocalypse XXXI 243 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 junior and green getting a rest. One hopes that the rests are real rests and don't become rests of the 4 to 6 week variety that we see sometimes around the club.
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 One hopes that the rests are real rests and don't become rests of the 4 to 6 week variety that we see sometimes around the club. They've both played 4 pre-season games, which makes them the only 2 (along with Bruce and Yze*) senior players to have played all practice games. They deserve/ require a rest. *Yze will get his rest with Sandy in a couple of weeks time
beelzebub 23,392 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 *Yze will get his rest with Sandy in a couple of weeks time funny how you can have a rest and a wake up at the same time !! lol...both deserved
John Dee 445 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 The squad was up on afl.com.au early this afternoon. It has Geen and Macca out with Buckley and Garland named.
Guest Schtacker Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 there's nothing wrong with Green or Macca.... all the senior players, except those mentioned , have been rested at some point this pre-season... Bruce has played them all cos he's a machine and Yze doesn't need a rest as he hasn't been near the footy Very pleased to hear Pickett and McLean are in... both incredibly valuable players and we need them cherry for round 1
Bring-Back-Powell 15,562 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 BBP's Lofty Prediction for Saturday. Adem Yze to kick 5 goals, 11 marks, 28 possessions, 6 tackles, 11 'one' percenters, and be everyone's best friend again!!! PS - Anyone making the trip down the highway? I'll be there.
Big Kev 375 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 From the Herald Sun http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/com...5E19769,00.html Saturday GEELONG v MELBOURNE at Skilled Stadium, 2pm GEELONG: Steven King, Jimmy Bartel, Andrew Mackie, Travis Varcoe, Brad Ottens, Kane Tenace, Joel Corey, Joel Selwood, Charlie Gardiner, Shannon Byrnes, Nathan Djerrkura, Matthew Egan, Cameron Mooney, Henry Playfair, Nathan Ablett, Mark Blake, David Johnson, Matthew Scarlett, Brent Prismall, Paul Chapman, Darren Millburn, David Wojcinski, Corey Enright, Cameron Ling. MELBOURNE: Simon Buckley, Nathan Jones, Clint Bizzell, Ben Holland, Brock McLean, Matthew Bate, Brad Miller, James Frawley, David Neitz, Daniel Ward, Adem Yze, Lynden Dunn, Travis Johnstone, Chris Johnson, Colin Garland, Daniel Bell, Brent Moloney, Russell Robertson, Nathan Brown, Jared Rivers, Cameron Bruce, Byron Pickett, Jeff White, Ryan Ferguson, Aaron Davey, Mark Jamar, Nathan Carroll, Matthew Whelan. Garland was impressive last week at Sandy, Byron has reached his weight target and Holland proved he was over his hip injury.
DemonDave 1,099 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 The thing that pleases me most about this squad is Brent Moloneys name again being listed, suggesting his revival is gathering a nice pace. He seemed to get through the 2 1/2 quarters he played last week rather well, having a growing influence as the game went on. If we can get 20 games out of him this year, we'll be travelling very nicely.
mordja 187 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 With that list, we have no excuses. Come the season proper, injuries will force us to field worse teams than this and expect a win. I know its down at KarBogan Park, but its time to start showing something.
DEMON WITHIN 0 Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 "With that list, we have no excuses. " keeping a lid on our intensity will be inevitable...how many times do we read of injuries occuring in that 'last preseason hitout'...id be more than happy for the players just to get a good run around and come back fitter for the experience and with no injuries (not even niggles)
CHAMP 347 Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Does anyone know if KROCK-FM (3GL) are broadcasting the match this arvo.
Pinball Wizard 374 Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Does anyone know if KROCK-FM (3GL) are broadcasting the match this arvo. Doesn't suggest that they are on their website.
