Who do we think would take being sub better; Gawn or May?

 

Max wouldn't look good in a vest whereas May could just be mistaken for one of the Village People.

Mayzie it is.

    No Max this week. 
    And I can’t ever remember us naming an out (Woey) as managed before.

    The closer the game gets the more my confidence rises. Even though that’s  always been true for me I’m feeling pretty confident about this week. Let’s face it does anyone here seriously think Freo are better than us?

    Didn't finish the Casey game and allegedly copped a corkie.

    Guess it's going to be a simple swap of Woewodin for Laurie as sub.

    Or billings

    I don’t have high hopes for him, but he certainly earned another crack at it after his game for Casey on Sunday.

    Fullarton gets a free ticket to Perth to watch the game. I suspect he’s there keep the Dockers guessing.

    I’d prefer to go in unchanged but I trust Goody after his selection master class against the Bombers.

    I’m still fascinated by who goes out next week when Max comes in. Is Sunday Petty’s last chance? Or is he a permanent fixture and they’ll demote someone like the Kolt to sub?

    From what I’ve seen Verrall is way better than Fullarton as a football player. Why is he being ignored?

    Yep Laurie for Woey

    Freo have clearly been better than us in 3 of the last 4 meetings.

    So looking at the squad.. I’ve got vibes on it being Fullarton in for Woey (managed I can only guess means load mgmt & needing full VFL game time?!)

     

    Why? That part I’m still grappling with.. jsut feeling that they didn’t like look of Petty in Ruck or want to see if Fullarton can play up fwd whilst giving JVR a rest OR wanting to have JVR up forward MORE and thus JVR Becomes 2nd ruck and Fullarton gets the bulk load.. although his 5 hit-out VFL effort doesn’t scream PLAY ME but around ground he was solid..

    Personally I’d bring in Jeffo and keep JVR ruck, but it’s risky & this plays a role.. just think playing TF feels like the change based on ext interchange named!

    Lets beat Freo and show them all the WA talent they passed on in the draft:

    • Kozzi (they has 3 chances to draft him)
    • Rivers
    • Tholstrop
    • JVR
    • McVee

    These guys have been among our best in the last few weeks and are the best WA youth running around.  Did I miss any?

    Luker Kentfield in the not-too-distant future 👊🏼

    Windsor named on bench. Anything in that?

    Woey needs a decent game so makes sense

    Fullarton and Disco named bench, potential for Fullarton to get a run and Disco sub? Try Fullarton and if not working revert to last weeks line up?

    I’m already on it PF! Been on it since Queen’s birthday last year when we bonded over snags in bread at Fed Square. I’m just not as confident as you are that he’s ready yet. 

     

    Fullarton to play . You can bank on this . Petty to be sub or emerg.

    He's been on that since Rnd 5 vs Brissvegas where he contributed roughly the same rating as Salem on 7% game time (subbed off injured with Hammy in the first Q) and ranked as the worst rated player in the AFL for season 2024 (at one point in between then and now) but still going strong nearly three months later.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
