Melkshem fit to play but I'd be surprised if he's selected in the seniors.

U can bank on it.... Penultimate moment in MFC Folklore... punch ons become punchchums brothers in arms, with  MFC victory at the G🤩

Genuine pisstake if Melksham comes straight into the senior side.

Surely he got the "thanks for your service now" tap after his 200 games. VFL and that's it.

 

 

Weid more ruck than forward I hope.

Yeah this sounds like it's been ripped from goody's presser earlier today where he said that melksham had overcome the hand infection.

Probably 6 other players that are in better form.

I’m craving a different side this week. I don’t mean in’s and out but mainly a different look. I’d love Trac more up forward and Gus in the middle. Something different, he’ll be hungry in there. Rotate him and Trac or Trac and Viney. Change it up through out the game. Doesn’t always have to be the same. We literally kick out towards the left side of the ground from a kick in. Mix it up. We are becoming if not have become so damn predictable. We’ve lost our run from the backline. Our goals last year where mainly from the run and carry from the backline. This year we mark it on our defensive 50 and stop… the Oppo have time to man up then we lose that privilege of being in control and it now becomes a 50/50 contest 

Richmond of late will chip around their defensive half then boom they’re off.

That's how i'm seeing things as well.

Add to that...

Too many other issues to list

So Stu … in you first scenario Mitch Brown survives? Seriously?

I agree that against the Pies he was invisible. He performed better against the Swans (4 marks and a goal assist) and was better than the other Brown. But the main reason I think he'll be included (as we now have confirmation that Daw is injured) is that the FD don't like to change the structure (2 talls, Fritsch, and 3 small pressure forwards). They could include JVR and I'd personally be excited to see that, but I just doubt they'll do that at this stage of the year.

They have often spoke about trying to be calm across the entire FD and we haven't seen reactive team changes for a long time. Goodwin constantly talks about belief in the 'system' - for this reason I can't see him changing the forward structure and/or bringing in a first year player with less than 10 VFL games under his belt. 

Apologies to Werridee in advance!...

I am now in tears weed for Gawn!  Don’t be surprised if it is milkshake for M Brown.

Interesting there seems to be more activity on other threads than this one. Have we accepted that we have run out of reserves and our fate? Interesting the bookies still have us as favourites. I have little idea why.

I reckon the previous 15 pages of this thread has exhausted all possible ( and many unlikely) permutations od.

For mine, the certainties are May and Weid in for Turner and Gawn.

I will  now wait with keen interest, to see what the selectors come up with.

Does anyone know if Thursday night teams get announced this afternoon or tomorrow?

That tweet is terrible news for people who like punctuation. Great news for us getting some unnecessary free kicks on Thursday.

You haven't made my day with those selections Bbo however I guess there is no one else. The next few weeks will seal the position of the weed one way or the other and we will see if Jackson is more that a good number two  

I actually have a sneaking suspicion that Weid will play his best game for us if he comes in.

He seems to be a confidence player and to a certain extent he gets a free hit in the ruck as the expectations aren't high on him in the way it is when he's forward.

He impacts a few contests early and then takes a mark and goals when he goes forward and we'll see a different player.🤞

Well if he plays fwd that is not likely to happen but if he plays ruck/fwd like he often does for Casey he may be serviceable.
