    Agreed,but if things arent working Goodwin must start taking risks and we have the players to make it happen.Throwing Petty fwd  has to be an option.

    Got to win this one.

    Regardless of plays fwd we need to get the ball in there quickly. 

    This.

    You can have Royce Hart at CHF and Peter Hudson at FF - but if you're coming via the hotdog stand, forget it.

    With Gawn out and May returning, Goodwin has a few things to consider. Tomlinson has been pretty good this year and Petty has been a bit down compared to previous seasons. One option I think we should consider is throwing Petty forward. 

    JVR could also come into the side to replace the out of form TMac, although this role would also include part time rucking. 

    Not permitted to throw anyone around these dayz.

    Yes you can. Putin  is about to throw 300k soldiers  into the fwd line .  They'll  obliterate whats left of the Ukraine. 

    Of course you can throw Petty fwd - if necessary.

    Just delist jvr, brown and tmac if we're going to put Petty forward, no chance

    Petty needs to settle down in the back line. We have enough quality in our forwards ,specially when Gawn goes forward . If Schache had been fit  , he surely would have been very heavily considered.

    Tmac with his foot injury cannot be expected to ruck, thus JVR needs to come in.

    I expect the Swans to play 3 talls , therefore May, Petty, Tomlinson  also play with Lever to play on flank or back pocket.It maybe Hibberd comes in and replaces Tomlinson.Young McVee needs a rest  (managed).

    Really McVee needs a rest !  What makes you think that. ? 

    2 games in our fitness staff would resign if a player had to be managed after 2 rounds after a rest brfoure the season started.

    Please maybe you have a rest as well with a weird post like this.

    Whether or not it's a good idea I just don't see Goody swinging the magnets around like this. Apart from throwing Oscar Mac up forward and then Petty in the final which may not have even been his call it's hard to remember a regular team member popping up in a random position.

    The circumstances are that we’re badly depleted in the ruck division and Tom McDonald appears to be struggling to hold his place in the team so, irrespective of the long term vision as to who plays where, it would seem sensible to consider some short term solutions to an immediate problem.

    Moving Harry Petty to KPF, including JvR as the second ruck to Brodie Grundy could be just the trick for this one game due to the circumstances.

    Didn't he keep Cameron to 2 Goals?

    Is easily AFL standard and has played his role well as an undersized def v Dogs and then on the best small fwd in the game v Bris

    you don’t reckon the Cats had a strong defence? aside from us they conceded the least amount of points last year

    Lol yes I'd be pretty surprised if some are questioning the cats defence of last year. 

    Starts by having a bloke called Tom Stewart who is a 4 x All Australian half back.

    Yeah Cats defense was very good, more pointing out we had Lever, Petty, May in defense last year and it didn't get us a flag because our forward line wasn't up to scratch.

    We didn't win the flag because 3 of our most important players were broken by the time finals came around. Gawn was seconds away from missing with a rib injury, Trac played with a broken leg and Clarry with a broken hand.

    Lever was barely holding his ankles together, Fritta was injured in a warm up and Tmac was out with a busted foot.

    Oh and Jackson had checked out, Salem was injured, and BBB couldn't walk let  along run.

    We finished second on the ladder despite our less than ideal forward line functionality and I still maintain that had we stayed really fit we would have won the flag.

    Also Brayshaw was injured and another I now forget too.

    Agree though, fully fit and with TMac I believe we could have won it.

    I don't know about timing but it turns out Lingers had broken 4 ribs (not just bruised as reported).  It's likely these were still healing / tender at finals time

    Agreed, he doesn't seem to do this normally unless he's already experimented.  It was interesting in Rd 1 to see BBB temporarily pop into defence for small moments in the game - might have been something that had already been practice during preseason.  Think there was also another player but can't remember who that popped up in a few spots.  We seemed much more flexible and attacking against the Dogs.

    Gus was moved into the midfield at half time too in the Lions game (although that's more likely due to Gawn down and a general reshuffling).

    Wonder what we'll see against the Swans - probably not much movement.  But when Kozzy is back we might begin to see that flexibility again because we'll be slightly less strapped for depth and our backs may be less against the wall.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
