I think @12345_54321 deserves an apology?

Certainly individuals as always so quick to shut peolle down without actually giving them a decent chance...

    How can Tommo be dropped?

    Was one of our best defenders last week. And isn't Petty undercooked?

    If this is directed at me I asked a genuine question. I didn’t shut anyone down and certainly won’t be apologising. The poster ‘guaranteed’ us something last time which didn’t eventuate. I’m entitled to ask a question this time around and don’t go playing the nice guy now all of sudden now dd.

    All I said is that I hated his info. Still do.

    I don't agree with dropping Tomlinson, and I am a firm believer that we won't win a flag this year unless we get another decent tall marking target up forward, which seems to be Petty.

    I suppose it was the old three into two doesn't go.

    Once you assume Petty fit one of Smith or Tomlinson had to go.

    If this works it may be a master stroke as both Petty and Smith can play forward and back thus allowing flexibility in weeks to come. Mind you I'm not convinced that Smith is a forward but it's all part of the ride

     

    The betting market has come in slightly in Geelong's favour if that means much.

    Geelong $1.96 - Melbourne $1.84

    Gamble responsibly. :P

    I’ll wait to see the teams named before thinking this could be the dumbest selection in MFC history…

    100% thought you were going to say - Mind you I'm not convinced that Smith is a back but it's all part of the ride. 🤷‍♂️

    Thommo!  Don't have to be dead to be stiff!  Thought he was fantastic last week.

    Great game - given a chance to shine and seized it well. At least he is on the bench. Very handy for clearances/spoils.

    Overall, the team looks strong, adaptable and able. How will Badloss configure the onfield? Who will nullify Close, a significant feeder and gatherer?

    I was late to this news but I am strongly opposed to dropping Tomlinson for Petty. It just feels wrong. Tomlinson’s game against Collingwood was too good to warrant Petty being an automatic inclusion. The harsh result should have, as unfortunate as it may be, been imposed on Petty, not Tomlinson. 

    Jordon for Spargo the correct call in Oliver’s ongoing absence.

    JJ gets a game ahead of Bowey. No Oliver, give him the time he needs. Whilst it’s disappointing the club seems really focused on bringing players back fit and ready to play. Salem a great example. Be really interesting watching Petty tomorrow night. He looked comfortable forward against the Hawks so where’s he playing tomorrow??

    I wish they would end all the smoke and mirrors stuff with Clarry.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
