Id call for Melksham out but Fritta may be suspended, others will howl me down and Goodwin will never drop him so there.

    After what Cunnington did today I’m mortified about what the combination of Hickey and JPK do next week.

    We are already a bad clearance side but I can see that getting ugly quickly.

    I’d seriously look at bringing in Harmes to tag him because we can’t afford for what happened today to happen next week.

    The likes of ANB and Spargo will need a rocket too because we know Sydney will try to play keepings-off to beat our zone (like North did for much of today) so our pressure cannot slip one iota.

    We’ve beaten Sydney once at the MCG since 2001. They are officially now our number 1 bogey team and have given us all sort of problems over the last 15 years as we’ve won just twice against them.

    I guess the big question is does T Mac remain down back or does Petty come in to replace Tomlinson.

    Our midfield depth is an issue for me.

    Viney always has this foot problem.

    When Oliver is held like he was for three qrts Trac has do do it all.

    Jones is way past his midfield days.

    Jordan is good but if Trac or Oliver are injured...we are cooked.

    More games into Sparrow.

    Who else is there?

    Sparrow in for Baker (assuming Viney doesn't get up)

    Petty for Tomlinson (or do we go Majak for some X factor?)

    Chandler for Jones

    If Fritch is rubbed out, Weid in.

    * I'm not keen on going the TMac back route - this isn't a stopgap - Tomlinson will be out to mid 2022 if it's an ACL. Time to get some time into Petty for that role.

    I saw the Fritsch incident. A fend off elbow to the head.

    If the MRO charge him he’ll be missing at least 2 you’d think as the North player was hurt.

    So I expect him to miss unfortunately.

    The North player played out the game.

    If he missed the rest of the game due to concussion then yes I'd be worried.

    I would rather see Petty come in and Keep TMac forward where he has been very good.

    That helps in terms of a possible punishment.

    Do you think it was a reportable incident?

    Baker has to go.

    Petty in for Tommo is a must

    Conditions will determine team structure.  If the weather is ok, Weids in for Melksham. Viney to return for baker.

    So can Tom play back and we just bring in weiderman to play forward? I'd have a bit more faith having McDonald down back than Petty.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
