Top game from TMac, how do we bring Weid and Brown in next week? We need to be mindful not to go too tall, boy we’ve got some forward options!

Despite 3 goals melk makes way.

We play 4 talls with lj rucking with max dropping down back.

Viney is a man of steel, talk about hardnut.  Hit it the gonads. Then comes out and plays strong in the second half

Turned it up to 11 in that last quarter!

We have won 4 in a row against Hawthorn. How the tables have turned.

Now how do we fit Tom Mac, Weideman, Ben Brown, Mitch Brown, Jackson and Fritsch in the forward line?   ;)

I’d happily play B. Brown, Weideman, McDonald and Fritsch together.

T McDonald goes to the wing.

Hmm looks like a good win in the end I have not seen a frame of the game. Been at family function sneaking a look at the scores on my phone. Looks like a good Sunday night viewing ahead.

It depends on next week. But the last time Melbourne was 6-0 was 1965. That was the year Norm Smith was sacked after winning the Premiership in 1964, Ron Barassi had gone to Carlton, and the rest is all sad history ...

Melksham won’t get dropped after today

Hawthorn choked the game up a bit in the first 3 quarters but then the flood gates opened up!

Good win in the end.

Exactly. They were never going to sustain that. In the game thread many nervous Nellie's lamenting the way we were playing but was always going to happen.

You don't change it. B Brown could do with another run at Casey and Fritta will not be back for a few weeks. Give the Weid a chance when someone fails until then steady as she goes.

[DubDee 21,226]

Easy 50 point win as predicted

You are right, but from what I saw on tv he was unsighted for most of the game.  Then again I only see what they show in the frame.   Same with Brown for 3 qtrs, unsighted with no impact. 

It good to have options and pressure internally....

You are correct he doesn't get dropped when he is crap for weeks on end why now?

[RickyJ45 392]

Frost definitely played for us again that game

[DemonOX 8,550]

WOW best last quarter of footy I have seen from us in a very LOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGGG  TIME

GO DEES.

- Hunt is officially back
- Jackson's best game for the year
- River's best game of the year too
- Hibberd with plenty left in the tank, correct call to bring him in over Jetta
- Weid is a must in next week
- Jones is cooked, and should be dropped off the back of that, will be interesting to see what happens

Don’t think it’s fair to label Jones as “cooked”. But next week is huge and we need our best 22, and on today’s performance I’m not so sure he’s in that team. 

[Nasher 33,162]

I wasn’t convinced at the start of the year but I’m definitely convinced now that there’s room for TMac in the side even once Weid and B.Brown are in. It’ll be smalls such as Jones to make way. 

Interesting conundrum once Fritsch, B.Brown, TMac and Weid are all available, but Goody will want to try and make it work given the quality and characteristics of the individual players.

Nope! Melksham gets a hard time here for his defensive efforts but if you kick 3 and assist 3 you stay. Also had a run in the midfield which was good.

Save yourself some pain OD and watch second half only

[Jaded No More 58,831]

That was the worst game of the year and the best win. I finally believe that we are serious contenders. Not because we played particularly well, but because we found a way to win and when we got on top we really put the foot down. 
The mark of a good team. Finally.

Really don’t think our wingmen need replacing.
