Out: M Brown, N.Jones 

IN: B Brown Weid 

 

Weid to play CHF up the ground. TMac on the wing for the release mark. BB for the leading forward from the square 

 

Although i reckon were a chance against the Tiger save Jones 300 for the Roos. (that's how to sell it to him that he misses next week)

 

Also need to make room for Bedford he was great. Too good for VFL. Not sure who's spot he takes though

Jonesy hasn’t made it easy for selectors unfortunately. However, there is no way he will be dropped imo.

Unfair on Bedford and Chandler who have been great all preseason and dominated for Casey today.

OUT

Petty - good 2nd half after an atrocious 1st

M. Brown - Unlucky, tried but didn't influence the game til the last quarter

Sparrow - Melksham drops to the sub

IN

May for Petty

Fritsch for M. Brown

Weid for Melksham

B. Brown unlucky miss.

Weid and Bedford played well. Thought BBB needs another VFL run

No way Melksham gets dropped, even when he's at his best he's been like that - kind of invisible but then by the end of the match he's managed 2 or 3 goals and had a hand in a few others. A couple of those kicks across the body to find targets were sublime.

If Fritsch and May are ready, they both have to come in. Jones would be the obvious out but not happening, at least for this week.

I get it, and as I said, it’s a pity Jones didn’t make it an easy decision. He’s been serviceable so far this year, but today was absolutely sub standard. But I still don’t think they will drop him.

It was a 50 point win, so as few changes as possible.

Weid for M Brown

May for Petty

Fritsch for Melksham.

These 3 are only out of the side because of injury so should come straight back in.

Do we think jones would get dropped for his 300th that would be a ruthless call 

This is a real conundrum !

Jones has been a wonderful servant of the club and deserves the honour of 300 games. I love the guy.

However, he was ordinary today and exposed for pace in both leg speed and disposal. If we were playing Norf next week there is no question he would retain his spot ....................... but against the best performed team of the last several years ??????????????

Good so we can stop the nonsense now. Goodwin has said Jones will play next week so lets celebrate it.

This week

Weed in

Brown out 

Next week -sideshow Bob in for Melky and dependent on recovery - May for Petty. when Fritta ready probably Jones makes way. At some point JJ and sparrow may get rested -although this can get done by medical sub now.

Posted

We have to play Jones as it is a landmark we havent had except for Neiter.

But 2 of Spargs, Jordon and AnB need to be considered for a rest.That is if May and Fritsch are available. Hib showed his worth immediately but the Melk will be there for 3 more weeks unfortunately.   We have shown that we always give players a group of 3 or 4 games when back in the team, but BBB needs a red carpet for his 1st block of games, he is only going to get better. The Weid just hasnt strung a few games together so if we brought him back, we are committing to 4 games for him. Id like him to prove his spot by another bag in the VFL. Brereton said that if we were a really hungry team we should be ready to chop players more readily.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
