PREGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle

Casey forward line better than the 1's

I'm sick

May and Pickett both named. The only defensive emergency cover is Howes.

McVee, Kentfield and Jefferson all returning via VFL.

In: Fullarton, Tholstrup, Turner

Out: Fritsch, Henderson, JVR (all dropped)

My initial thought: WTF are we doing

Exactly what we should rewarding form and standards. Sparrow should have been ommitted as well and Kolt straight in says more about what available below.

NO JEFFO ?? HE WAS PREFERRED ROUND 1 IS FIT, WTF GOODY????


Clown school, none of our elite midfielders dropped. Goody hasn’t quite yet worked out the fwds may not be the problem. The sooner he’s gone the better.

Yeah but we’re dropping Fritsch after his best game of the last month, bringing Turner back after one week and no Casey game (so why TF did we drop him last week) and Kolt comes back without a VFL game. It’s haphazard.

Midflieds turn next week

 

This will be entertaining in macabre way if nothing else…

Demons selections are just as confusing as Trumps flip flopping tariff wars.

Yeah let’s put Fullarton in for his first game against one of the best back lines in the league yet we had the chance to play him last week against a shizen Bombers backline. Makes perfect sense.

A few suggestions that Fritta should be dropped this week.

Given he wasn't dropped after hitting rock bottom in round 3, and actually playing better footy the last 2 weeks including a sizzling goal from the 50 arc, I'd have his omission chances at approximately 0% this week.

Aged well

Best game? He refused to chase again and celebrates a goal when we are getting pumped. This surely is not surprising.

Haphazard at bloody best!


It's the timing that I can't understand..

We needed these changes a couple of weeks ago.

Turner and Fullerton now after no Casey last week?

Fritch now after he was finally beginning to show signs of turning a corner?

And of course who could forget the classic instant "in" after a long injury lay off in Tholstrup.

I dont agree with Kolt in with no match fitness just like I didnt agree with it with Melksham or Spargo. Fritsch game had more possession but his game was poor. I agree we are making changes that should have happened the week before ie: Fullerton in JVR/Fritsch out. I dont understand how Sparrow has survived and think we should have had more like 5 out then 3 but have no issue with the 3 chosen.

Fritsch 10 weeks too late

Next the Butchers in the midfield - anyone that bombs it in a fails to hit a target -drop them

Oscar McDonald will be the 2nd ruck for Fremantle according to Justin Longmuir's press conference today. Interesting to see how Oscar plays


Goodwin totally clueless!

Yeah. Best game. Relative to the ones before.

It’s surprising that it’s happened this week, when it didn’t happen for the last 3 weeks.

great changes for once thank [censored], casey will be strong assuming judd is playing with them?

Yeah, I think we actually largely agree on all this. I also think dropping 3 forwards but no mids in one week is unhelpful when a significant portion of our problem is in the midfield.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
