Who comes in and who goes out for our clash against the Gold Coast Western Bulldogs?

Edited by Demonland
Thread Title change to Western Bulldogs

It doesn't matter who comes in a loss is a certainty. Most mentally weak club in the comp and everyone knows it. I'm furious at the club. They let us down time and time again no chance of a flag this year they are cooked.

Six changes

Ins  

1. smart footy 


2. accurate goalkicking 

(Jackson Spargo Brayshaw Pickett to have 50 kicks for goal as detention homework ) 

3. tackling to stop the player getting the disposal free  

4. Disposal to a target 

5. Winning centre clearances

6. lower the eyes to a target in forward 50

 

out  

1. irrelevant disposals by midfield 

2. little handballs by oliver and Petracca to no one !!!! 

3. Kicking to the pockets all the time 

4. Bombing into contests in forward 50 

5. Ruck tap to the opposition 

6. Key forwards playing behind their opponents

In - psychologist +/- psychiatrist (who could also be offered to long suffering fans), and a goal kicking coach. 
Hoping the former can get into the minds of players who think playing bottom teams NB 15,16,17 is going to be a walkover. 
Oue - bath water, egos.

Ins - Wiedeman, Bowey, Harmes

Outs - Jackson, Rivers, Viney

Am sure to get howled down about Jackson, however, he isn't providing enough and I thing right now, Wiedeman would deliver more in that Ruck/Forward role.

Not a bad thought with Jackson for Weideman. Jackson will be awesome but his output is waning and gave us little when around the ball tonight. Weideman should provide more of a threat forward as well.

Need some big changes:

In: Weid, Harmes

Out: Jackson, Viney,

Jackson just isn’t having the same effect anymore. Viney is a liability.

We need to have a serious conversation about Jack Viney. His skills are just not good enough. He butchered every disposal tonight. I love his hardness and attack on the ball but Vanders can do that.

I'm with you on Jackson. Give him a spell. Does not impact the game at all.

I’m flat, not sure where to start.. our centre work isn’t working, so need to start there. I’d like to bring Bowey in, Viney needs to go.. Max looked so flat tonight, was taking pills at half time.

This isn't about changes to personnel, it's about changes to attitude.

We need to work out why we don't apply ourselves against bottom 10 sides the same way we do in prime time games against top 8 sides.

In saying that, we need to think about Viney's role.

Spot on.  All the basic thinkers will go straight to AVB to be dropped, however, please look at his disposals tonight that resulted in 3 goal scoring chains, plus a beautifully weighted ball for Fritsch to run on to late.

Viney doesn't provide you with that.  AVB can give you Viney's tackling pressure and hardness around the ball as well.

Also, got to find a way to get better ball users such as Bowey into the side as Viney, Langdon, Brayshaw & just constantly kill you with their disposal.

If we're going to blood a couple and give a rest to others then I'm all for a big list of changes

Declase in also

Tmac rest

Time to start preparing for Finals, ensure there's some fresh legs

Viney needs to go. He is making our midfield too defensive and he’s a liability with ball in hand and can’t get off the ground fast enough to defend. 
I don’t think we need another inside mid to replace him, especially with Vanders playing well enough to justify getting another game next week. 
Maybe Melksham can help us hit a target going inside 50, but most likely he just won’t do anything for 98 minutes. 

I am guessing no change. 
 

Edit: lol at people suggesting we drop Brown. Literally the least of our problems. Had a better game than Tmac.

My god Viney is an absolute mess of a footballer.

People saying that he'll get dropped are kidding themselves. Goody absolutely loves him and he's just picked up 32 of the most useless stats ever. So they'll look at that as a win.

To think the club signed him up for 5 years..

Luke Jackson needs a serious spell. Love the kid but he's done nothing for about a month and while he's ruck work is good he's a wasted space up forward. I'd bring Weideman/Daw or if we need to go bit smaller then bring in Melksham.

    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
