I like it. Does that indicate Viney to spend more time in the forward line, taking Hannan's spot and giving Brayshaw more time in the middle? Roll Viney in occasionally to crash into Pendlebury's quad?

    Hannan out and vandenBerg still in.

    Tell me the absolute lie that Goody doesn't play favourites despite form.

    Rivers slightly stiff, but Lockhart has been terrific so he deserves to come straight back in.

    Obviously Preuss in for Jackson is no surprise, and I don't necessarily mind the omission of Hannan for Viney.  When you look at who they have named in the starting six up forward, I wouldn't have him in there for any of those, nor for someone like Spargo on the bench.

    If Lockhart was coming back, Rivers had to go out unfortunately. 
    Can’t believe Hannan is out! ??‍♂️

    Preuss for Jackson and Lockhart for Rivers like for like replacement. Viney for Hannan hopefully means Viney will rotate more through forward 50 and Brayshaw can continue to maximise his centre square time. 

    Ecstatic no Stephenson has a habit of killing us.

    Don’t understand Rivers getting dropped, looked good to me.

    Out: Brayden Sier (quad), Jaidyn Stephenson (omitted), Jordan Roughead (concussion), Tim Broomhead (omitted), Chris Mayne (omitted)

    Every chance Pendlebury and Hoskin-Elliot underdoen and other Key injuriey outs:  Howe, Treloar, DeGoey

    Stephenson out is interesting...who is going to kick their goals!

    We have a much better team than they have and 2 days extra rest. 

    Dees to win.

    I'm telling you, you don't know the reasons why changes are made. This isn't under age football.

    Trent rivers very stiff

    Same as Mitch Hannan more solid than a less than satisfactory Jake Melksham!!!! Goody plays favourites AGAIN!!

    And Spargo did do some good things last week But give me Rivers anyday!!

    Melksham would want to perform this week!! Also Harley I would have thought would have played!??

    Thought perhaps Lockhart might have come in for Harmes, given Rivers has looked great. Unless they have tagging ideas in mind for Harmes. I hope Viney's return doesn't disrupt Brayshaw's recent midfield form too greatly.

    Not a massive fan if I’m being honest.

    Lockhart for Rivers and keeping VDB instead of Hannan are both downgrades in class and ball use imo. And we don’t have much of it to start off with, particularly with Bennell still not selected.

    Not that I don’t rate those guys in the side, I just feel the balance is too much to the inside/contested side of things, but we all know that is Goodwin’s go.

    Seems Chris Mayne is both omitted and on the HBF.

    Rivers is very slight and gets moved out of one on ones too easily. A bit of time in the gym this summer and he will be a fixture in the back 6 in 2021. 
    Happy with the changes. Thought they might manage Sparrow or Jones for Viney but otherwise as I thought.

    Hoskin-Elliot kicked 3 on us in the QB game in 2019. He kicked 4 in 2018. 2 in Round 23 2017.

    He also kicked 3 on us when playing for GWS in 2014.

    He has form against us.

     

    Stephenson has much better form against us.

    Thought rivers was ok last week and Hannan is always handy. 

    I'm guessing Greg Stafford is still our ruck coach. He will earn his money this week in helping Preuss bring down Grundy.

    We win we are in the 8 and knock those giants out. Tomorrow will tell us how much the boys want it.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
