    Petty should be dropped. Rarely have I been so disappointed in lack of effort

    An even crack from the maggots would be a nice change.

    I've been saying the same for nigh on 12 months.

    His two kicks tonight included a Cats out on the full.

    Club should raise this at highest levels but won’t because club admin is amateurish

    Petty had a stinker, one of our key backs seem to every week. Could drop him, or could go 4 tall backs and move Rivers on ball.

    Sharp’s no good. Spargo should play a month at Casey so they can pick him for full games in form and match fit.

    JVR is just ordinary and not getting any better. I’d rather big AJ.

    Langford’s not ready.

    Viney continues to get worse.

    I’d probably go:

    Out: Sharp, Langford, JVR, Spargo

    In: Mentha, Lever, AJ, Laurie

    Sharp - omg

    Sparrow - Petracca’s mate, so won’t get dropped

    If all our players tried as hard as Sparrow we’d at least be a chance. He did his job tonight. Took Holmes completely out of the game. Until we get some reinforcements no way he gets dropped given we’re picking guys who have no impact and can’t even stick to a task.

    Petty has to be dropped for Lever.

    Spargo and Sharp both have to be dropped. They are both absolutely useless right now. Both need to go find some VFL form. I doubt Lindsay will be fit so we'll have to find two replacements and I don't want Billings to be one of them. Laurie maybe, but IMO he's in the same basket as Sharp, Spargo and Billings.

    Too early for Culley?

    He didn't just "do his job", he did a great job. The anti-Sparrow bias on here is embarrassing right now.

    Can't drop Langford. He does all the right things, even if he fatigued late. Our best last week, had a good first half tonight, is the future. I certainly wouldn't be dropping or even resting him if the replacement in your list there is Laurie.

    Oh yeah - his impact was profound

    Out: Petty, Sharp, Spargo, Fritsch

    Ins: Lever, Laurie, Billings, Fullarton

    I know the mere suggestion of Billings will be rebuffed. Maybe you look at Sestan or Mentha as well. Kynan Brown maybe gets another chance.

    Outs:

    Sharp - good lord never again. If Goodwin is fair dinkum, he never puts on a Melbourne jumper again.. ever.

    Spargo - What on earth are we doing here...any other club would let him rot in the VFL except us. This is one of the more bizarre team selections going around in my time supporting the dees with how much they rate Spargo over the past few weeks.

    Petty - Yo Adelaide.. can we do that trade??

    Ins:

    Lever and two suburban footballers that will have a genuine crack.

    I rarely think we ever lose a match at selection, nor do I buy into the "Goody picks his faves" conspiracy theory.

    But there's just no way I will be able to stomach seeing Spargo get another game. Not until he goes back to Casey and earns it. Right now he's a slow, possibly overweight, liability with no asset (don't tell me he can kick - that's useless if you can't get the ball in the first place).

    • 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.

      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.
