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 Melbourne’s lengthy list of casualties, David Neitz (knee – 3-4 weeks), Russell Robertson (knee – 6 weeks), McLean (foot – 5 weeks) and Clint Bartram (knee – TBA).

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

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?


Posted

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.

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.

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?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
