Yep! Interesting to see Moloney still being named? Must be given every chance before sunday.

I really want Biz, Dunn and Pettard to play also :wacko:

Right. I royally stuffed this up the first time because I didn't properly look at who the outs were. Here's take two.

I'd like to see these outs in addition to those already named:

Bizzell. Two talls (Dunn, Rivers) have come in and two (Holland, Ferguson) have gone out. I think PJ did enough to retain his place. I'd have dropped Jamar so we weren't carrying so many so-so talls, but he's named on the ground so that won't happen.

Yze, Brown for the sheer fact that I'd prefer that Petterd and Bate play. Petterd can slot in to the Brown running role nicely, so that works out well on a "horses for courses" scenario. Alternatively, Petterd could play a defensive roll in the back half and release Bell for a running role, but I'd prefer to leave Bell where he is for now, given his consistent performances to date.

Despite all our injuries that team don't look half bad!! apart from the Forward Pocket line. It could be made better by putting the Bizz down at CHB, dropping Wheatley.

Surely we don't need 3 ruckman this week, so out goes Pj (id rather drop Jamar), also id go Bizz ahead of Wheats as mentioned above but i doubt it will happen, lets say Moloney doesnt get up as well and id drop Bate for a bit of a run at Sandy and some confidence....

IN: Bizzel, Rivers, Pickett, Dunn, Petterd.

OUT: Holland, Ferguson, Wheatley, Bate, Johnson

this way all the INS ACTUALLY COME IN...

anyone agree... (sorry its fixed now rivers is where pettard was lol there arent 2 pettards!)

No. There is only one Ricky Petterd!

I really hope Bizzell plays, he is a better defender than Wheatly.

If any of the ruckmen get dropped it should be jamar. Against sandilands it isn't going to be easy and the effort that PJ showed last week means he deserves his spot. Jamar isn't the best foward option and should be swapped with dunn.

Ferg must really be in the dog house a la Chris Lamb for whatever he did last Sunday.

I agree Ferg and Chris Lamb are similar. They are not up to AFL.

So what did PJ show as a ruckman last Sunday? That his big failing and thats why he is not selected as a ruckman ahead of Jamar. Jamar has been pedestrian so where does that put PJ?

Given Rivers and Bizzell are back I am not sure whatever good deeds he did in the back line count.

The dockers like to push thier Giant forward every quarter, we will need to play PJ to combat this. I'm worried about pickett being back, as I stated all week Freo run hard and fast getting a lot of drive from Half back, I'm worried pickett will be under done and we won't get much out of him. He is class though and you have to respect that. I would of liked to see Buckley for a bit extra pace, we look slow through the midfield.

Nothing I've seen at AFL level or at school makes me think PJ is going to make it as a ruckman - but I hope to be proved wrong.

Agreed

Rogue and Rhino do you honestly believe that Jamar will beat sandilands in the ruck. PJ gives it his all and that is the attitude this club should have, sadly only a few players have it. Jamar isn't an elite ruckman and his ground work is terrible.

I agree Ferg and Chris Lamb are similar. They are not up to AFL.

In Chris Lamb's last game, he was on Matthew Lloyd. He kept him to one goal at half-time. Someone else was switched on to him(?Bizz). Lloyd ended up with 5 or 6. Lamb was told he was too heavy, and to lose several kilos so he could keep up with the mobile forwards. He followed instructions, lost the weight, then was told he didn't have the body strength for the big forwards in one-on-one contests. He never played again, but has always looked a top full-back at VFL level. Apparently he was too "nice".(presumably he would have told Headland what a lovely girl his daughter looks!)

I hope(and think), Ferg's as good, though I hear he's been told he's not strong enough to take a big forward, but too slow to take a small one.

Please don't be too cutting in your reply, Rhino, as I'm rather sensitive.

If thats true the melb footy club are well no word is approaprate. What a shocking decision. I think ferg has more than Lamb...much more. People forget that he can go forward and kick goals and is a backup defender. I wouldnt be too harsh on him. Hes not in 22 but he is great depth

Dee'viater check your team. Are you saying Rivers is not gonna play? You have him in your ins but not on the field.

For what it is worth I think you are right, Bate and Moloney will miss. Not sure why CJ is not in the mix.

I have serious doubts that Riv' will play, missed rnd1 (leg soreness), played rnd2, missed rnd3 (leg soreness).

Too big a risk to play him on this recent history IMO. We're just starting to get players returning from injury :-Dunn, Pickett, maybe soon Sylvia, why take the chance by rushing an obviously persistant problem, he may do a real hammy & then miss between 3 to 6 matches. We should get these guys right, & take the opportunity thats presented through our misfortune by trying out the young'uns, give them a taste.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
