Out: this absurb game plan of fast movement, handball chains and corridor with cringe worthy skills. Humiliation. Delusion that we can play this way.

In: contest defence, playing to the strengths of the playing list. winning by boredom. 4 points. respect.

Not going to happen so look away now.


Pickett straight back. Turner gets rewarded. Windsor only if he’s 100% fit - don’t rush him back, as tempting as it would be. Lever will come back.

Lindsay out injured. One of Petty and TMac has to be dropped for Lever (I can’t stand TMac’s clangers but Petty isn’t in form either). I’d drop Fritsch to wake him up but I’m not expecting that to ever happen.

Pickett helps heaps but ultimately if we continue to be massacred at stoppage, we will continue to lose by 60+ points.

Whatever we do I will 100% not be watching. Not up for voluntary torture…

 

Melksham, Howes, AJ and Billing’s should never play again. Clarrie and Fritsch on notice. Viney and TMac should retire

Time for Bill Laurie to get a sustained run in the firsts.


Lever May Salem

Rivers Petty Bowey

Windsor. Viney. Langdon

Sharp. Turner. Petracca

Fritsch. JVR. Pickett

Gawn. Oliver. Langdon

Tmac. Sparrow Chandler Johnson

Sub. Melksham

Ironically I think this game may be our best chance for a win. We can't cope with speed through the midfield or out of the opposition backs!!!!

Lever and Kozzie raise the talent floor.

May gets a poor rusty game out of his system and plays better.

Hopefully Windsor is ready.

Who knows...

Out: T-Mac, Fritsch, Lindsay (knee), Billings

In: Pickett, Windsor, Turner, Lever

FB: Bowey May Lever

HB: Windsor Petty Salem

C: Langdon Langford Howes

HF: Chandler Turner Sparrow

FF: Pickett JvR Henderson

R: Gawn Oliver Petracca

I: Rivers Johnson Viney Sharp

S: Melksham

Could have dropped so many more but we've never been one for mass changes, though I don't think that would help where we are at regardless.

I'd like to see Howes play a mix of wing and half forward where he impressed as a junior. Not cutting it as a defender.

Viney has struggled with decision making and skills massively to start the year but they're not going to replace him with Laurie who is our only back up mid at this stage, though did play well at Casey today.

Fritsch needs to get his confidence up at Casey, can't keep carrying him in the team though his intent at the contest was better today.

T-mac unlucky but goody I would imagine wants his ideal 3-tall defenders together in May, Lever and Petty.


pickett will definitely be in, turner probably should be, fullarton a chance

will lever or windsor be fit?

lindsay will be out, and the likes of howes, mcdonald, fritsch, billings, sparrow, and quite frankly petracca who was appalling again today should be first in line to be dropped too

Out: Howes, Lindsay, AJ, JVR

In: Windsor, Pickett, Disco, Lever

One last chance for Oliver and Fritsch

FB: T MC May Rivers

HB: Bowey Lever Salem

C: Langdon Tracc Billings

HF: Viney Petty Pickett

FF: Fritsch Turner Chandler

Foll: Gawn Oliver Langford

Int: Windsor, Henderson, Sharp, Melk

S: Sparrow

Laurie in, Sparrow down back if Windsor isn’t ready

Going by Goody's presser Pickett, Lever, Windsor and likely Spargo will be available,

In Pickett, Lever, Windsor, Turner, Laurie

Out: Billings, AJ, Howes, Fritsch, LIndsay

If Howes doesn’t get dropped the club isn’t serious. Play him whatever position you like just make sure it’s at Casey.

You can’t concede 2 goals from throwing the ball because you’re afraid to get tackled and stay in the team.

Honestly, the most embarrassing display I’ve ever seen from a Melbourne player.

Where is McVee? Been out for a long time, suspect he has re done his hamstring.

It was a bad hammy. He was interviewed pre game and is due back in 2-3 weeks.

FRITSCH ON NOTICE???? SERIOUSLY Should have been dropped after round 1 pathetic!

If Viney can’t be dropped, plonk him in a forward pocket.

Turner for Fritz.

Howes out. Lever in.

Windsor in, Billing’s out.

JVR and AJ can’t be in the same team.

We just need players with heart, fight and fitness.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
