Mind blowing that Petty is not playing VFL, dude can’t read ball drop, slow, weak, blames others when caught out of position. Drop and trade him while he’s got any trade capital in him.

Absolutely 100%

This doesn’t make sense nor does dropping him against Fremantle

Feel for the bloke. It must be hard to stay on an AFL list when your surname is Culley

Hi name is Culley - not with an "S"

Hi have high hopes for Jai

So McVee is playing at Casey yet Tholstrup is playing one’s. I’d play them both.

Goodwin backs his program, the problem is we are 0-5 with a totally DELUSIONAL coach that has overt grandios opinions of his ability that he has a master plan! Sorry his time has come and gone with 1 lousy flag to show for it! Nup not buying!

“1 lousy flag” has to make it into the Demonland “hot takes” Hall of Fame.

I’m having a good chuckle to myself imagining demons supporters crying tears of joy after waiting a lifetime to see the Dees make it to the pinnacle of the sport and you’re just like “who cares it’s one lousy flag!”

You must be new around here...

Changes demanded.

Changes made.

Changes condemned.

Demonland is even more confusing than Goodwin's selections.

It wouldn’t be his only entry in the hot takes, in similar fashion to Jeremy Howe regularly featuring in mark of the week. Every week he provides comedy gold

Fritsch is gone, who to blame for this loss?

Relax, Sparrow is still there

Actually I wouldn’t have minded if they gave Sestan a game this week - omit Melksham. Sestan needs to be given a chance.

Actually I wouldn’t have minded if they gave Kynan Brown a game this week - omit Spargo. (Spargo had 1 tackle and 4 missed tackles last week ). Kynan Brown knows how to tackle and needs to be given a chance.

Both or either of these changes would have been okay by me

I know its been slim pickings but our named forward line has kicked 8 afl goals between them for the year.. thoughts and prayers for the Fremantle backline.

You could have dropped plenty of other players. Perhaps it is a little too late. Freo to win , Goody to get sacked surely !!!!

He probably means one “lousy” flag because most of us didn’t get to see that one flag, and won’t have the opportunity to see one anytime soon.

It’s not always about who replaces them. Viney doesn’t warrant a game atm, that’s the statement I’d make. Give Culley a run.

100% agree, and that was my underlying point.

I just don't understand how after all the outrage about certain players getting a game, there is now even more discontent about who replaces them when they are dropped

We have to field 22 players. If we are going to drop guys like Fritsch, JVR, Petty, Viney, Sparrow, Rivers or Spargo it shouldn't be a surprise that inexperienced players from the 2's will be coming in.

Good on Omac for a return to the the Freo seniors. Good luck to him.

I read this a lot.

First of all, if you think the flag was "lousy", I can't help you - that's on you. It was, for me and I dare say the majority of Melbourne supporters, the complete opposite.

But out of interest, how many of us do you think would have actually got a ticket to the G on Grand Final day?

I personally didn’t find the flag to be “lousy” but it’s lousy to think many of us missed the flag live and at the same time cannot see any prospect of seeing one in the short to medium term.

In answer to your question, I would say 22,000 MCC members (there is purported to be about 24,000 MFC supporters in the MCC), 1,000 AFL members, 16,000 club members and a number of supporters that would’ve scored via the corporate allocation.

Plenty.

I reckon he probably had just on half a match tops Roost.

He did a few very good things but it wasn't a serious hit out and he was off and on a fair bit also.

He needs more time imv both for his own sake and i would guess for the FD to take a good look and asses where he's at physically and in a form sense etc.

Really hope he comes on quickly also. Could be a beauty

Yep,so the blame is the forward line and forward line only,should have made a statement and dropped the turnover king,Viney

What a silly call from this poster calling Fritsch a 0% chance of getting dropped this week.

Of course he’s going to get dropped after his best game of the year and kicking a goal that electrified the side for a few rare minutes.

Who do you put in to the midfield instead..? There’s nothing there..

A statement was made, on players that we all acknowledge were out of form. At least the midfield will have something new to kick to, maybe it’s the spark.

If you can't mark the ball when the midfielders do get the ball to you, then you should be dropped.
