I like Hunt, last few weeks have been a bit poor but he's not alone there. Couple of brain-fades last week seemingly cost him.

Think he is still capable of playing good footy when everyone fit and firing, just last few weeks the backline been impacted by injuries and Lever being a bit out of sort. 


 

A 2 disposal game doesn’t warrant selection

Disco Turner in! I like. 

Been some good footballers over the years from Albury. Reckon he might be another.

Go well Disco!

that was bloody unreal.  after the week we've had this is exactly what we all need.

The group is so pumped for him.  Great to see guys like Weed and Majak being so happy for him when they are out of the side. No sooking it up

We are clearly a club that is in disarray. RIP.

Hope it doesn't mean Petty is out.

Me too.

Hopefully it's just a matter of dropping Tomlinson who had no answers for Sam Reid (who decided to play his first dominant game since 2015) rather than Turner replacing an injured Petty.

I have been shocked at the development of this kid, don't be surprised if he really makes this spot his own. 

He's a very capable one on one defender but his reading of the play is very good and knows when to peel off. 

if he's come in for Adam Tommlinson it could really suggest it's going to be harder and harder for Tommo to gain a spot as a defender in this team

I suspect that Petty will be given until Monday to prove his fitness. If fit, poor old Tommo comes out. If not fit, Tommo will keep his place in the side.

Hunt was the scapegoat.  But others have been underperforming. 
BBB is lucky that Tmcd is injured and Weid is “too nice a boy”. 
Mitch Brown remains to provide some target. 

Tomlinson stays in until May is back.
Spargo lucky to stay in imv. I’d give Bedford the chance.

Good luck to disco. I hope he's replacing Tommo and not Petty.

Good selection

Would have preferred that we had debuted one or two new players in the Eagles/North weeks. Looking back I think that's where we started the slump we are now in. A bit of a "squad"mentality may have averted the unfortunate events of last weekend as well.

Big game in the context of the season

In full agreement. ☝️

Yeah. We know.

FFS.

It's more about Petty possibly being injured than the lack of form from Tommo.

Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back.

I’m taking it as a positive that Petty was kind of jumping around in the group and getting amongst it after Turner’s debut announcement.

I’ve felt all week that Petty was going to be a late out in much the same way as TMAC was given plenty of time to prove his fitness even though he was in doubt from the get go.

Turner in. Petty must be listed as highly doubtful 

Presumably it means that Turner is in for Tomlinson, who then becomes emergency in case Petty doesn't get up.

Hibberd takes Hunt's place.

Turner is listed at 192 and 194cm on his profile, any ideas what it is?

The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height.

    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
