Yze in and brown dropped! buckley named emergency along with brown and holland

I must admit I kinda thought it would be Ward who'd be dropped, even though he got twice the possessions of Brown.

Brown did a job on Mcleod, and did it well.

Ward has just been too loose, and his, uhhh... overexcitement... in the last quarter was one of the reasons Adelaide was let back in the game.

I love em both, I really do, but I like Ward better as a BOG player at Sandy.

Melbourne probably know that Rocca won't play.

Carroll on Holland makes me nervous, but am very happy that they didn't drop Frawley!

Glad Yze is back for his annual demolition of the Pies. Also leaves Davey to roam up the ground.

Why?

Was he under an injury cloud?

Yep, didn't train yesterday and Malthouse said he's struggling but should get up.

Melbourne probably know better, or they'll make a late change if Rocca does get up (probably Dutchy in, Frawley out).

Great to see the Bizz rewarded for some good form. I for one had doubted his value and whether he'd make it back at all but good on him for persevering.

Let's hope he plays as well as he did last week. It'll go a long way to helping us win on Monday.

rivers, wheelen, moloney, pickett and bartram are in our best 23 or 24.

ward, bizzel, godfrey and yze are the players playing for melbourne this week who would struggle to get a game if the above 5 were also available. (i have left frawley in for now but if his form tapers off either holland or bizzel could be the replacement, depedning on the opposition.

its interesting because imo bizzel for rivers is a straight swap, ward for wheelan is a straight swap, leaving 5 to fight it our for 2 places.

do you agree with my assessment of the best 22?

of godfrey, yze, moloney, pickett and bartram, which 2 would you pick for the last two spots?

no woz with biz for frawley (when compared to my best 22). frawley is yet unprovven but im not sure if bizz will be around next year and frawley does have the height advantage...these two plus holland might be the toss up for the 3rd tall spot horses for courses style, but i cant help but think bizz and rivers are competing for the same spot atm...

clint you listed the same 5 players that i did as being out of the best 22. that means we need to drop 5 players from the current 22 to get them in. which 5 are gone for you? ward, frawley? godfrey or yze? and we need another. when i did the best 22 scenario i found we had 1 extra midfielder meaning moloney or jones missed out. jmac is on his way out, and chances are we will always have an injury or two so this scenario will be covered, but im just wondering what you have...

Moloney and Bartram.

The more time goes by, the more Godfrey and Yze become depth (well Godfrey has always been depth).

Pickett will be lucky to get a contract extension.

ATM I'd take out Ward, Godfrey, Wheatley, Frawley and Yze.

Pickett in for Yze, Whelan in for Ward, Moloney in for Godfrey, Rivers in for Frawley, Bartram in for Wheatley.

Having said that, on form I do think that the likes of Yze and Wheatley do have a spot in the side.

Frawley will have his time later on.

good call on wheatley. one swallow doesnt make a summer. but i think if he is in form and played in the right position he can be very valuable.

i think this goes to show that our top say 24 are pretty good. we may lack a player of absolute star quality but overall our top list is good. its our depth that really struggles. ward, brown, godfrey, holland, ferguson, jamar, warnock, and then the developing: CJ, miller and dunn, arent quite up to it yet. although i think thats a bit harsh on dunn.

actually whats interesting about that list. apart from godfrey we bearly have a depth midfielder so we? we have spare tall defenders, tall forwards, running back flankers, a winger or two, and a ruck but no spare midfielders.

any ideas?

actually i think this might even deserve a thread of its own, because it is off topic...

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
