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...

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
