    Casey game tomorrow is important. If Harmes plays well, he is in.  Laurie? Howes?

    Howes and Turner are both competing for the 3rd tall defender if Petty goes forward and we want a Hibbo replacement. Turner more ready for that job. But would love to see Howes start to demand a go.

    We’re yet to give JJ a second full game, I don’t see Harmes or Laurie jumping him. Unless Laurie is just blistering and they want him in Spargo’s role.

    Schache a small chance if they want to keep Petty back. 

    Moniz-Wakefield? I’d love to see it

    Tigers main ruckman is out so TMac may not be essential. BBB back in his place

    Lever for Tomlinson

    Hibberd for Bowey perhaps

    Laurie for Spargo

    Not panicking yet but we need to beat Richmond

    Hard to see another poor performance like this next week.. but certainly some players need to go out. Petty back forward- created a contest late.

     

    In- Lever, Hibberd, Brown.

    Out- Spargo, McDonald and Tomlinson.

    Bowey to play Spargos role. He was putrid tonight Bowser.

    If we loose to the tigers, I'm going to be feeling worst than Neeld era

    Really??? So if we are 3-3 six games in to the season, you're going to feel worse than when we were close to a laughing stock?

    I find that difficult to believe.

    Are you trying to get him killed  Fence ?

     

    JVR with a mature body and a full year of preparation is struggling at AFL level. 

    Jeffo, for all his promise, is so spindly that his body can't even hold his head up straight

    If fit, Brown Lever and Gawn are  must ins.

    If someone tears it up at Casey he plays on  Monday week. Someone has to be punished and omitted.

    No problem making 3 or 4 changes. Clubs do it all the time.

    No pedestrians.

    Rob Flowers Dad Al was dead against him playing as a 17year old and had to be CONVINCED by Noel Mc Mahon that he should play, But his father said no for the reasons you allude to!! His dad relented and The rest was HISTORY

    I get your piont, but if, IF Merlin fires ......... PLAY HIM!!

    I'm not convinced Fence. Robbie was the best I've seen in red and blue. And he played on the wing.  Not key forward getting smashed under packs by large,  nasty defenders and ruckmen dropping back. 

     

    Don't think you're comparing apples with apples here.  Let the kid develop

    SEN suggesting Bolton may get suspended. Looks unlikely to me.

    At the very least we need BBB and Lever back plus a hell of a lot of work on our brand. Dimma just given a blueprint on how to put us in a spliff by Scott if he plays talls.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
