Melbourne v Western Bulldogs - the teams

Featured Replies

Good ins, i too would have had PJ in for Jamar and Dunn in for Brown. Even though Dunn and Brown don't play the same position he should be in and Brown we can do without.

Very happy to see Ward out!

 

God alot of people dislike me boy the Warden.

Buckley should be in, Dunn should be in, couldn't care less about back up ruckman, the big russian or hightower, love them both.

Bodanator should be exciting.

Get Brown out and PLAY BIZZEL, let him prove his worth. Should at least get a game over Brown.

Thankgod Godders got hurt.

Wish we had Bate, Yze and The Doctor Rivers but hey injuries what u gonna do?

Brown, Bizzel and Pickett won't be on the list next season i guerentee it...we have 9 30yr olds which is clearly too many, and atleast 3 of them will be forced retired, i wouldnt be surprised if Ward or Yze werent with us either because they are not our future and are starting to be pushed out by younger versions.

next season our only veterans should be Neitz, Mcdonald and White (who are pretty much the first 3 players picked in our team each week), plus Holland and maybe Ward and Yze as depth.we dont need 30 somethings clogging up our list and stopping the development of youngsters. we should be aiming at rebuilding our list.

therefore, if they arent gonna be there next year then dont play them.

plus nobody can say that the likes of brown, ward, holland etc havnt had enough games to prove if theyre worth it. buckley, dunn, PJ, CJ and garland ned gametime as senior level.

Melbourne still wants to win next year. Rave about the kids, most are playing, not winning.

They can't delist everyone. PLayers like Neville, Brown, Ward will go, maybe Holland, although he is trying to save career right now.

Bizzel will be talked about, could go but probably wont.

Pickett will NOT go.

Yze well the fact you think he should go makes me laugh. Who is the better young version, he isn't being fazed out they sent him for surgery so he could play next year.

Talk sense. Give a damn if they are old, I wanna win next year and if it takes players like Bizzel, PIckett and Yze to do it. Then I'll accept it. Stop bagging. What when they go from 29 to 30 they automatically become bad players. Yze would run rings around alot of our kids.

Melbourne believe they can win, they will not re-build. A new coach will want to win, not re-build. If we get Sheedy he will definately keep Pickett and Bizzel. So wise up and think about it.

WE ARE NOT HAWTHORN, WE ARE NOT TAKING A FEW YEARS TO RE-BUILD.

We are Melbourne, we need to win, we need fans. We cannot afford to re-build.

So get off the old guys backs just because they are getting older. Been loyal servants to you, the fan, for years.

Thanks for reading.

Happy with the lineup( despite no dunn), but I'm not getting my hopes up. I mean, it looks good on paper, but this side very much lacks heart/ confidence at the moment, Dogs by 53...

Totally agree with this Demons 32.

Melbourne FC will keep the players you mentioned.

if MFC keep pickett then we are an absolute disgrace.

he is 30 and no longer capable of brilliance like he used to be. the best he does is get 10 possies and a couple of goals.

he has stuffed the club around, consistently turning up unfit and fat. he does not deserve a place on our list.

anyone who has any idea about our list will see 9 players +30yrs old and will immediately see that the club will look to decrease this worrying figure by ATLEAST 3-4 players at seasons end. The reality is that we are the oldest team in the afl, and it does not bode well for our future.

if ppl want us to have a future then theyd join me in demanding that Pickett, Ward, Brown, Holland and Bizzel NOT take precedence over our developing players who are the real future of our club.

obviously a couple of these guyz (ward and holland for mine) will stay on the list next season for depth, but atleast 3 of this group should be gawn and they certainly shouldnt be playing now that our season is over.

for those who want guyz like pickett in the team this time of year are basically saying theyd prefer Dunn to rot away in the ressies while he misses out on a rare opportunity a club gets to put serious game-time into developing youngsters to fast-track their development

 
Sylvinator i would take bizzel any day of the week over ward.

Me too......

And as with everyone else in here I continue to be astounded that Dunn remains on the outer. You would think that his continued development at club level is the most important thing at this point in time. Would this because of his form a Sandy not being up to scratch (I am asking someone in the know, as I have no idea)?

I am happy with the selection of Bode and look forward to finally seeing him play.

All in all though not too bad a side, but I am still not going to be holding my breath for a win :P !!!

No, we are Melbourne, we take more than ten years to rebuild.....
