What was the point of getting Schache we could have just kept Weiderman, we invest in another premier ruckman & yet win the hit outs but don’t dominate the clearances… is it structure or players not working hard enough 

Weideman indicated he wanted to go, so we managed a trade for Schache to cover for Weideman.

Which was no surprise as he got absolutely no continuity at senior level. He’s been doing well at Essendon. A change of scenery was definitely good for him. I’m not sure he was going to progress any further at Melbourne. 
 

I am still mad that we gave up Hunt for nothing.

So you want to replace our entire forward line with what? Casey’s forward line, so you can then complain about them?

Seems unlikely to be a successful decision.

Jeez pf we could have won both games with an ounce of luck or some decent umpiring you can’t write off the whole team. Also based on Casey form the only three deserving players on the weekend were Tomlinson, Schache and Brown.!!!

Out of that lot I'd drop Spargo, rather give Chandler more opportunity, Nibbler is doing his job imo. I do agree Tmac looks cooked probably give BB one more chance.

Pickett seems to be second guessing himself as are alot of our players not taking the first option and stopped playing on instinct.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

While we are at it let’s drop Petracca. I’m sick to death of him missing goals. Trash player. Directly to Casey and would trade for a third rounder.

I reckon I’m just sentimental because he was one of my favorites and I feel badly for him because he was so close to winning a flag, and never wanted to leave the club. 

I know rationally that he’s just an ok player and would make no difference to our team currently. 
But watching him play for that abomination of a side, is very sad.

Milkshake stared in our last gasp victory against the blues last year. 

Our form seemed better when he was in the side early in the year.

Out of all the players that left last year it's Hunty the one that I feel for the most. Baker or Weids I couldn't give a stuff about.

Had he not done his ankle we would be talking about a premiership player.

Unfortunately he's now playing for a trash WAFL club which to me just doesn't look or feel right after all the [censored] years he went through.

Depends on  whether Melbourne again wants to look like a football version of a banana republic. Thankfully those days appear to be over.

I really feel for Milkshake. In the finals last year he was essentially our main man down forward and his main strength - excellent kicking - just disappeared. He could have been the key.

Carlton love to attack through the corridor and quickly, they also like to switch the play (our Achilles’ heels).

We need to study the Blues vs Lions game earlier in the year. Brisbane denied them the corridor at all costs and so must we.

I've read this four times. I might be misunderstanding your point, but don't these two statements contradict each other?

An additional tall defender must come in. I guess it has to be one of Tomlinson (most likely) or Smith or Schache. I'm not a huge fan of any of those gents, but Lever can't play on McKay or Curnow. As has been said repeatedly, he's not a particularly good one on one defender. He needs to be the third man up/inteceptor.

Found myself screaming “YOU’RE NOT THAT GUY” at Harmes on too many occasions last Saturday 

Apart from the goal that Fritta gifted him everything else was error ridden. 

Having another look at the replay, ANB gave him a run for his money as well. Both liabilities.

The Chandler and McVee experiments are probably over.

They aren’t experiments they have shown enough, maybe they need tests but both of them have had impacts across their lines

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
