No Gawn and Viney makes it hard. Ugly loss coming up. Those two have done so much work for us this season

North have proven that they can't win a game without Cunnington. Jackson and Brayshaw will be able to cover them.

Add Jackson to that he has to play the game of his life.

I hope we don't burn him out too.

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

That North team looks as bad as Adelaides team last week, if not worse.  Absolutely horrendous.

We should belt them.

Can you organise it.

Hopefully we won't see the clips of Gus sitting despondently on the bench for long periods.

Weid and LJ to take advantage of Gus's delivery into the forward 50.

Has to be Sparg's last chance with Bennell, Bedford, JJ, Hannan, Chandler and even Hunt capable of taking his place.

[Purple77 970]

I dunno what the point is in having Preuss if we don't play him for this exact scenario.

Last chance garbage, should Never have been picked in front of Bennell, Bedford, JJ, Hannan, Chandler and even Hunt

Are we serious??

[Pates 9,556]

I notice that Preuss was named as an emergency, does that mean he’s in Adelaide as well? If so he must feel coming to Melbourne was a wait of time.

Agree on pretty much all of them, but Bennell is being managed. I’d easily have Hunt in over Spargo.

Yes I can I'll use Spargo and the Wagner's as sweetner's

[binman 39,591]

Love to see a sprint race between Gus, Tomlinson, Tmac and Jones. 

Possibly the slowest team that has played for the MFC since Big Carl, Ray Biffen, Spud Dullard and Gary baker (sorry Gary) lined up together. And i reckon those four would beat the others home!

[Kent 2,676]

Good grief i have been waiting all evening for this

Spargo and T mac Selection equals committee  lost plot

Tmac is not right cant run cant catch cant turn cant kick  the game has passed him by 

Spargo is vertically challenged with zero footy smarts

Why employ Preuss if not for this scenario

Tmac has played and shown nothing. Preuss at least may really want to play and perform against his old club

Only thing I'll say on this, is that Hunt has been given a crack this year and, for the most part, done little with it.

Time to give Charlie a crack and see if he can do better.

Have a feeling he will play instead of Tom Mac. Hunt must really be on the outer if he is behind Spargo, who is small, slow, a short kick and can’t mark, the opposite of Hunt.

Like all DL'ers I have NFI what the FD see in Charlie.

27 games averaging less than one goal and one goal assist per game. 

[Ethan Tremblay 28,833]

Spargo was good in 2018 after a commendable debut. He was rubbish in 2019 along with the rest of them. Glad he’s getting another crack.

Oh ! I see good idea BD

Tmac will have Spargo sitting on top of his shoulders for reach  Great advantage .    

[Kent 2,676]

SPARGO HAS SHOWN NOTHING 

VERY POOR SELECTION

RATHER GIVE HUNT ANOTHER GO AND PLAY HIM WHERE HE IS MOST DAMAGING

Spargo has always been rubbish, has just been carried in a good team in 2018

Incorrect.

He showed plenty in 2018, which is why he was part of the side in 2018 for most of the year.

As ET rightly points out above, he stunk it up in 2019 but so did many others.

Deserves another crack this week.

[Kent 2,676]

Almost 2 years ago Wise Where has he been?

[WERRIDEE 5,255]

Spargo is easily the worst selection of the year. Tommy isn't much better but when on song he can at least play forward, Spargo can't play anywhere.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Developing.

To me, he deserves a run at it.  Hunt got his chance and did little with it.  Bennell has been hot and cold.  Time to give Charlie a game or two and see if he can cement a spot in the side going forward.  He's shown he is capable of doing it.
