Bedford gets dropped but not Baker or Pickett. Both their games were as bad as Isaac Weetra's debut!

No one can hit an I50 target to save themselves but Bennell remains out of the team.

Lockhart must have gone back to Tassy and got himself lost in the wilderness.

Hunt, apparently concussed last week, is named in the backline. Fat chance of that happening!

 

 

Bedford had 8 touches and 5 clangers. You’d keep him in?

bennell isn’t match fit.

    All I've got to say is that I'm happy to see Nev back in the side! 

    Why ? It has gifting a game all over it 

    Lockhart should be in (the Last3 in fact need his pace and carry)

    melksham should be dropped. For who? Hannan? Please 

    we are an average team. The changes made improve our team from last week

    With no context both if these points are true. As an example melksham is one of our most talented players. So no player, with the exception of beneell, available to come in for home with as much talent.

    But in context the coach says post game we need to be more ruthless. And continues to pick a senior player who doesn't tackle, does not show on field leadership (where was his inspirational  match turning effort last week?) and picks and chooses when he goes. What message does that send to his team mates?

    I have little doubt Goody played him on fyfe to make him more accountable. 

    The changes improve our team? Sure. I agree.

    But leaving aside jetta who comes in for an injured Hibbo, spargo and Brown were both available for the freo game.

    So the logical extension is that it was an error to select pruess and Bedford for the freo game.

    I genuinely believe this.

    We have so many holes on our list right now. A big cull is coming our way at the end of the year.

    Agree. Our top 7 stands up against all sides but against the top 5 our 8-18 don’t have the consistent quality needed. I think we struck gold last draft and I believe a further preseason there as well an available Jordon, Petty, Hore will improve our 8-18 quality. However for the past 3-4 years we have hung on to too many that should have been turned over sooner to uncover more. That combined with no top 20 talent  2016-2018 hurts,. Being we have no early pick this year it will be interesting to see how we navigate the trade and free agency period to close the gap.

    My point is that Bedford, Baker and Pickett do not deserve a game this week.

    If Bennell is not match fit why did we give him games early in the season when we had a full list?

    Coz Goodwin doesn't play him where he should...... THE FORWARD LINE FFS

    Seems quite simple to me picket I agree, we are crying out for forwards and he continues to play  a half decent one in the back line. It is almost as bewildering as why he keeps picking Spargo.

    It has been mentioned else where that picket will not run at full pace while  you can understand his Fear it is vital that he does so. My understanding is that he has been play at full place or watch from the outer.

    I was talking about the changes for this week, that was the context, not selections over the last few weeks. 

    Melksham is still our best link man between mid and fwd. even though he has been disappointing I don’t think we can afford to drop him right now

    It shows how lost Goodwin is, by saying we need to build cohesion in our team with only two rounds to go.

    Maybe he knows the results that the AFL want for the next two rounds, allowing Melbourne to sneak into the finals and he’s seeing a 3 week window??  :roos:

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
