DEES TEAM v CATS

Featured Replies

Posted

Melbourne squad

Backs: B.Holland, N.Carroll, M.Whelan

Half backs: D.Ward, P.Wheatley, D.Bell

Centreline: B.Moloney, J.McDonald, B.Green

Half forwards: C.Bruce, B.Miller, M.Bate

Forwards: S.Godfrey, M.Jamar, A.Davey

Followers: J.White, N.Jones, T.Johnstone

I/C From: N.Brown, C.Bizzell, C.Johnson, A.Yze, P.Johnson, R.Ferguson, R.Petterd

The final team will be selected at 5:00 pm on Friday.

Other new names selected on the extended bench mark some welcome returns, including Clint Bizzell and Paul Johnson, along with Ryan Ferguson, and 2006 draftee Ricky Petterd sees his name included for a prospective senior debut.

Missing from the squad will be Jared Rivers, who pulled up sore with a hamstring complaint. He will be joined on the sidelines by Melbourneโ€™s lengthy list of casualties, David Neitz (knee โ€“ 3-4 weeks), Russell Robertson (knee โ€“ 6 weeks), McLean (foot โ€“ 5 weeks) and Clint Bartram (knee โ€“ TBA).

Byron Pickett will spend another week gaining more match fitness with Sandringham.

No sylvia, what the hell?

*Goes in search of a gun*

Wheatley at CHB. Gold! :mellow:

Please Daniher, please play Petterd and give me a reason to actually want to watch the game.

Edit: there must be an echo in here because where's Sylvia?


Wheatley, Ward, Jamar...

No Newton, Sylvia, Dunn, Byron, Rivers...

Why even turn up?

ย 

No rivers?


No Sylvia is a big surprise, but perhaps they don't feel he is fit enough yet and don't want to risk him.

However the bigger surprise is no Rivers! Just when I thought things couldn't get worse on the injury front, we now have no CHB. Massive loss, but will surely result in the return of the Biz.

My final interchange is: Bizzell, Yze, C Johnson, Ferguson.

Have to admit, I would love to see Petterd get a game, but I don't think it will happen yet.

May i say were f*****

should i waste my sunday going to watch us get flogged.........no

will i..........yes

god help us all

Most weeks by about thurs or friday i get excited and truly believe we can win. this week however i cant see how we will get close to geelong.

No rivers, neita, brock, sylvia, byron, robbo, bartram. which is 7 starting 18 players.

watch out all time turnover record.


ND should at least do the right thing by supporters and pick Pettard.

Otherwise there is no reason to go on Sunday.

Godfrey snd Jamar in forward line

interesting

It maybe like this

Backs:................ M.Whelan,,, N.Carroll,,,,,,, B.Holland

Half backs: ........ C.Bizzell,,,,,, R.Ferguson,, D.Bell

Centreline:......... B.Moloney,,,C.Bruce,,,,,,,,, D.Ward

Half forwards: ....B.Green,,,,,, B.Miller,,,,,,,,,, A.Davey

Forwards:...........M.Bate,,,,,,,, P.Johnson,,,,, A.Yze

Followers: J.White, N.Jones, T.Johnstone

I/C From: M.Jamar, J.McDonald, S.Godfrey, N.Brown, ,,,,, R.Petterd,

OUTS: P.Wheatley, C.Johnson,

INJ: Neitz, Robbo,

Oh my f*cking god?! What is this?!?! Not very confident about this weekend...

Rivers down as well? :( We really are in the dumps injury wise now. Wheatley as CHB? HAHAHA! Now I've seen it all!

Where is Sylvia? Maybe P.J? And wtf is going through the selection panels mind. That team lacks any semblance of class! Looking at that forward line, and going by recent weeks form, we will be lucky to kick 5-6 goals, let alone win :unsure:

Does anyone else advocate the selection of PJ as FF for the whole match, with Jamar and White swapping the ruck?

I think it could be worth a try with Neita and Robbo out, just have Yze and Flash at his feet and kick it long.


If Sylvia is not injured and plays for Sandy, that is the last straw straw for ND as far as I'm concerned.

I think it could be worth a try with Neita and Robbo out, just have Yze and Flash at his feet and kick it long.

I advocate we fake an outbreak of mad-cow disease at the club, forcing the AFL to suspend any Melbourne matches for 5-6 weeks (depending on the length of McLean's, Neita's, Robbo's and Rivers' injuries) :lol:

But if we must line up on Sunday, I hope we don't play someone who can't take an overhead mark at FF.

I have nothing against PJ, I just think it should be a requirement that a forward can take a mark. I'd rather Jamar at FF. At least he might be able to take Scarlett down behind the play or something.

Our best option IMO is to line up with a smaller forward line, and trying to beat the Geelong defenders on the lead. That means Davey, Yze and CJ closer to goal, with Miller and Bruce leading out.

None of this will matter if we lose the clearances though, because a backline of Ward, Bizzell and Ferguson is likely to implode more often than a nuclear plant.

This is total confirmation The Reverend has gone mad.

Sylvia simply must play, from all reports he was fit & simply too good to be in the VFL.

Someone please explain?

No Colin Sylvia?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: โ€œThen came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.โ€ Today, weโ€™re back in the same place although oneย difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, โ€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, โ€ฆโ€ย  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
