    Lots of discussion about fwds and ruck but this week defence is how we will win or lose. Petty May on Hawk and Cameron with Lever loose. Gus intercepting when he can get off his man

    Assuming Gawn is back, I reckon he should sit in the hole. Cats can score very quickly

    Personally, I think Hibbo would be a better man for Cameron. Cameron is more of a running mobile player than a contested mark; Hibbo would destroy him.


    In: how to kick to forwards and better forward line movement

    Out:High and long bombs into the hot spot.

    Pickett fined $2k so won't need to worry about replacing him.

    I liked M Browns game. He was better playing a high HF type role. We need him to do that again and take one of Geelongs Tall defenders . I saw Kolodjashnij was out injured so they are down two of their key defensive stocks.

    Hopefully the weather remains dry so we can use Gawn more effectively in the F50. I wonder if they swing Henry back into D50 and bring in Ratagolea or Rohan (assuming they are fit). I think May goes to Hawk and Petty to Cameron. Hibberd is probably better suited to Tyson Stengle who is in hot form. 
     

    Gawn <> Bedford 

    LJ <> Weideman (if fit) 

    Tommo (medi-sub)

    Pickett won’t be dropped. He was better than Bedford anyway.

    Thought he may have been given a week, no way I would suggest he be dropped, our most important small forward 

    As mentioned, Mitch Brown's game was far superior to Weideman's. Weed goes out for Gawn.

    Bedford was disappointing but they might like his pace against Geelong.

    Mitch Brown can't and won't play the forward/ruck role. If Jackson doesn't come back in then Weid will absolutely stay in and Mitch will make way.

    Remember the original lineup before Jackson pulled out by any chance?

    They must need extra funds for Gill’s gold watch.

    If Jackson is out again then all options are open.

    Weed's ruck work and lack of physicality in the air was dismal. He can't be given another game after that.

    and they get suspended for intentionally running into his elbow.

    Well we need a forward/ruck if Jackson doesn't play, how did you see Mitch Brown's ruckwork exactly?

    Sorry mate, Weid stays if Jackson doesn't play.

    Spooky. Heading down to Kardinia two times in a row with us and them in the same ladder position.

    It'd be less spooky if the fixture was fairer and the home ground advantage wasn't permanently Geelongs..

    Mitch's ruckwork seemed far more competitive than Weeds. He at least nullified the contest.

    Sorry, that's rubbish.

    Weid had a higher hitout win percentage and at least had some to advantage whereas Brown had 0.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
