Team selection this week

Featured Replies

Posted

Let's forget the drivel about tanking because quite frankly, it's hard to tank when you're so limited with your playing list.

What is our team going to look like after selection tomorrow night?

From last week's side, it looks as though David Neitz and Colin Sylvia will be the outs with injury. Matthew Bate should come back from his corked thigh along with Clint Bizzell for his last game.

I can't see any of the players listed down as "tests" coming up this week although, if James Frawley's ankle is OK I think he should play at Sandy where he can replace Chris Lamb and get some valuable experience in a finals game.

That said, the selectors have an easy job this week:

In: Bate Bizzell

Out Neitz (knee) Sylvia (hip flexor)

The team should be good enough to dispose of a disinterested Carlton.

 

out: robbo and anyone else carrying some sort of slight injury

in: neville weetra garland

But we don't have the balls to do this. It's a shame.

Yeah give Neville the joy of playing his 1 and only AFL game! :lol:

I don't care who is in and out, so long as Carroll plays full forward, Robbo full back and Bode in the ruck.

+ Bate

+ Bell

+ Bizzell

- Jamar

- Sylvia

- Neitz

B: Ferguson, Carroll, Brown

HB: Ward, Bizzell, Bell

C: Green, Johnstone, Bruce

HF: Pickett, Miller, Robertson

F: CJ, Bate, Newton

R: White, McLean, Jones

I/C: PJohnson, Buckley, Bode, Dunn

EM: Garland, Warnock, Who's left?

we will shyte it in because they, the boos, are dropping like flies, their pathetic but you can't blame them

I heard yesterday that Newton won't be playing either, so you could possibly scratch him, Robbo needs to be rested, tell him to not play, if he buggers his knee i will be sooooooooooo [censored] off.

I am concerned with all this discussion.

Has anyone thought about the importance that Sandy must field the best combination available with selecting the best of Melbourne players eligible they must be fully supported in the quest for a flag.

I would let Fergy, Jamar, Chris Johnson, Pickett, Frawley, Bode, Buckley and Ward all play for Sandy.

Who cares if Melbourne win lose or whatever the season is over?

Good luck to Sandy, let's get right behind them!

I agree with your post.

We need to look forward to next year.

Give the guys a go.

HAHA deadset all this tanking is [censored] up my dreamteam. I have newton covering for both fev and davey, and jmac is out, and now scotland is doubtful! No trades left I'd be well and truly farked if all these players don't get up...

Melbourne is no.1 priority champ, I really couldn't care less about sandy other then our youth who are playing for them.

That's true. I couldn't give the slightest.

I go see the Dees - Not the Zebras...

Just like Mark Austin for the Blues. Ratten has said he wants to try out everyone on his list to know where they are at. We should do the same: in Weetra, Neville and Garland.

out: robbo and anyone else carrying some sort of slight injury

in: neville weetra garland

But we don't have the balls to do this. It's a shame.

I would do it like this:

in: four injured players

out: four fit players (would exclude Pickett from that category!)

:D

Not sure they allow wheelchairs on the ground during play Rhino..... B)

Robbo will play, kick 10, get signed to a 3 year deal and do his knee in round 4 next year.

Of course I hope that doesn't happen but it probably sounds just like an MFC script.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
