Melksham played wing yesterday and done his job.   Granted he wasn’t brilliant but kicked an important goal.  Dunstans foot and decision making are not at AFL level and should be replaced asap.

You might need to watch the last quarter again.

Yep, we did it for one qtr vs one of the worst 3 sides in the comp. For 3/4 of the game we didn’t (in the majority)

We should have been better for much longer.

Genuine question. Why can't we play BBB, T-Mac and Weed in the forward line? It would be like a 3 headed monster in which the opposition would not know who to go to. 3 distinct targets leading up. If they don't mark, then Kozzie or Spargo clean up.....then there is Fritter lurking around who is always dangerous plus ANB. Seems like a dream line up to me.

But what would I know....😁

Great idea but only IF their leading patterns diverged a lot more. Create 3 one on ones and not one three on three which seems to happen more often than not.

Viney > Dunstan

Salem > Melksham (really not happy with his effort) Even half Salem is double Melks.

Bedford (think another run to give him a proper chance > Langdon (praying no broken ribs, if ok no change) 

Leave Gus where he is please.

Wouldn't mind if someone else got a gig that match committee think is worth a run if Salem not right.

What's the time frame on broken ribs? Langdon out is going to hurt in the coming months.

Can go from 1 week to 3.

Will depend on the absolute severity. Could easily wear protective guard underneath.

Some putting Viney straight back in .... thought it was mentioned somewhere within the club (was it the injury report?) he was a two to three week prospect?

Had busted ribs, would rather play with a dodgy knee, is the worst. I prefer he doesn't rush back, a few bumps could really knock his confidence.

Pray for rain, The rest will take care of itself :)

 

Milk didn't impress what I saw on TV, doesn't run hard enough defensively compared to his teammates.  But was that his job??

Hopefully Viney and Langdon pulls up okay.

When is the last time Ben Brown or Tom Mcdonald chased someone down from behind? 

Mate Brown kicked 0 goals with 74 inside 50's. That's a true shocker.

You are obviously this ubiquitous troll that has hung around Land/Ology for years and your true colours were shown in your absence after we reached Everest. You’re not worth any more internet from me, and I hope others join me in putting you on ignore.

What a waste of a life, spent trying to get a rise out of people.

Wouldn't think they'd risk him tbh. Not Goody's style. Will put on ice until he's right. Especially with Salem coming back Gus can move back to the wing. 

Gus is a much more defensive winger than Ed though, we will miss Ed enormously regardless of who attempts to play his role

Think you might be thinking of Harmes.

Viney pulled out the day before the game with 'hamstring awareness'.

"We will monitor Jack closely over the next few days and we're hopeful that he will be available next week."

I wonder if they'd consider playing Tomlinson on the wing as an interim measure?  That's what he was originally recruited for.  Obviously doesn't have Langdon's pace, but he does have a big tank.  Provides a marking option down the line.  Hasn't played there since 2020 but has done it reasonably well previously, especially at GWS.

Have they now become our bogey side...  for injuries?

Last season it was Tomlinson.

Hopefully if Langdon is out for a few we can find another silver lining, like with did with Petty.

Might be Baker ?  Short term until Lingers comes back of course.

I suspect after the front on assault North applied on Saturday that there will be a few sore bodies this week.

Not noted here is that Max spent a lot of time up forward and has that knee very heavily strapped. He like TMac may be very sore.  I wasn't impressed with Bedford during his time on. He has the pace but dropped a sitter of a mark and fumbles a lot. Not having Casey play this week complicates things as we have no form to go on. There are no guarantees that Viney will be available either and I would be shocked if Langdon is available.

I doubt Salem is ready this week. I'm fairly confident he's been tracking at the "lower" end of the club's estimates for the last month and I'm pretty sure he'll need at least one more week.

That’s actually an option. He has height and can mark so we can also hold our forwards deep. There is also TMac on the wing too. 
 

As for Lingers, don’t expect to see him back until queens or after bye thanks to Johnny no Brains advertising his ailment for all to see.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
