Interchange to be Brayshaw, Pickett and Jetta plus one out of the rest for me.


From that extended bench I hope we take in Lockhart, Pickett, Brayshaw, Jetta. 

Smith should play forward or warm the bench.

Omitted or managed ? Has the club explained it? 

Yep. Goody talked about it in the presser today. Managed.

“Obviously selection’s tight, so we’re still working Harley back to his full fitness and his full match condition,” Goodwin said.

“There’s clearly a lot of expectation on Harley to be in the team every week – that certainly won’t be the case.

“He’s a player that we want to see as a long-term player and … we want to make sure he can sustain the full rigours of an AFL season.

“He’s still working his way back to his full fitness and full form that he knows he’s capable of and we know he’s capable of, and he’s progressing well.

“But clearly we’ve got to continue to limit the expectations of selection every week.”

 

Gawn said Lockhart was excellent in the intra-club last week , so it will be interesting if they play him.

Yep, it’s on the website 

Hmm interesting that Lockhart is brought in and Jetta on the extended bench.....


I expect only one of Lockhart/Jetta to get a spot. Could be in for a surprise here. I don't expect to see Hibberd.

I also expect Jackson and Pickett to play.

I'm therefore guessing we'll see a bench of Jackson, PIckett, Lockhart/Jetta and Brayshaw.

ANB, Hibberd, Jones and Lockhart/Jetta to miss.

The only one of the 8 interchange players guaranteed to play is Kozzie.

We have some regulars on thin ice, thats for sure.  

I reckon Jetta, Kozzy, Lockhart and Brayshaw from that extended bench 

Bennell clearly managed and not omitted

They have only had 1 game back geez, I think thin ice is a stretch. 


Absolutely laughable... even by MFC standards Bennell dropped from..a side that didn't even play..... A non appearance.VS Essendive!! Garbage selection if he doesn't play.  [censored] MFC CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!??

Managed after one game and a week of ... Something is seriously amiss!

Edited by picket fence

I wonder how much Match Committee thought the drop off against Carlton was brought about by having too many "new" players playing at once. Bringing Pickett in would make that worse unless a "new" player goes out. Of the newbies, it's hard to make a case that Bennell should stay in ahead of Jackson (for structure reasons) and Rivers (performance and position) 

The club has said that Bennell was left out as he’s not quite at match fitness and is still being managed.  Fair enough considering he only managed 50% game time in round two.  He’s building.

he played last week and he is long-term...calm down 

If Gawn can dominate the ruck we should control the game. Our forward line is a touch shaky but we can expose their backline if we lower the eyes going inside 50

Changes from the proposed Round 3 side:

Smith takes Jetta's spot in the 18, putting Jetta on the extended bench

vandenBerg takes Brayshaw's spot in the 18, putting Brayshaw on the extended bench

Hannan moves from the bench into the starting 18

Bennell moves from starting 18 to being dropped

Lockhart takes Bennell's spot in the 22

The changes are from Round 2, not Round 3.

And he's not named on the interchange bench.

Why anyone is surprised at Bennell being managed is beyond me.

You are kidding!! How can a player be selected in a non game and then be dropped?? Nope beggars belief!

On what basis does one week of not playing, and then training be "Managed"??

What has he done or not done to be dropped??

Is anyone else with me here?? 

Edited by picket fence

As Brayshaw played all of the interclub match in the 'white' shorts while the selected team played at least half of it in the blue shorts, I wouldn't be surprised to see him dropped.  Hope I'm wrong

  • 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.

    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.
