Choofta is more mobile than Brenny and Jacko is a best 22 player.

It’s difficult but I feel Sam offers more than Ben and we need to give him a couple of games to get a better look.

Brenny Brown has had three games not and has been ok with doing anything special.

With TMac  in such good form he sort of plays that big forward role and there fire brings a better balance.

bloody hard call though, especially when you entice a guy over from another club and pay him , most likely more than TMac and Choof put together 

Dogga in for Brenny Brown or Chandler 

Brown out.

 

Argh..

How the [censored] does Melksham get in based on being a medical [censored] sub.

Wow!  I LOVE the pressure for spots.

I predicted Brown out but I didn't think they would have the balls to do it.

Good changes

We look very dangerous with Jacko/Weed and T Mac

 

Sparrow sub plz.


Brown out don’t agree with that needs more time in the team to work with the forwards.

Also Brown takes the best defender which frees up Tmac which ain’t gunna happen now  

Melk in what a joke.

Brown needs to come back next week. He’s a Marvel specialist and the Dogs biggest weakness is their backline. Especially now they’ve lost Wood as well. 

Melksham in for Chandler is a strange one.  Bedford should have come in or keep Chandler.  We dont have enough pressure players and smalls up front.  should be fine against the crows but not against the dogs

Melksham in?

On what basis? 

he certainly does seem to get a bit more of a look in than other guys, and performance doesn't seem to be a factor, not sure what the word for that would be.

We're still experimenting to find our best side. 

No complaints here.

Looking forward to seeing  Weid get a whole game at FF this week. Grab it Sam.

Disappointed for Chandler as he was on a hiding to nothing playing seniors last week. He'd had very little match time at any level in the month preceding. I'd have like to see Melksham actually play at Casey. IIRC last time he played in the twos he came back with a vengeance. He might need another shake-up. A fit, firing & committed Melksham is an asset forward of centre.

I'm happy to give Weid another go and because Jackson is in, someone had to make way.

Pressure's on Weid to hold that spot though.

Same with Melksham, with Viney yet to return.

How the fuurg does Melksham get a game??? Brown has been a Matchwinner in the past. Melksham in is absolute Garbage player management!! Weeds has done nothing !! Brown has kicked 60 plus goals in 3 seasons out of 4 . Ill say this, unless weeds Dominates and kicks 4 or 5 he goes! MUCH rather a oroven BB

Edited by picket fence

Wow BBB OUT....we really are getting tougher with selections. Last year he would have been in every week automatically. I felt he just wasnt timing his marking right at all.....but Weid can kinda do the same thing.

....dont really understand Milkshake back in....but what would i know.

Probably on the basis that he offers more than Chandler at the moment, but he obviously knows that he's on notice.

The Weid steps out of the shadow of BB. He really needs to take advantage and i reckon he will. Predicting a 5 goal haul.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
