I know its a while till we get the official team for the tough task of facing the Cats at their stadium this week, but i thought i would start a thread early.

How many changes does everyone think there will be for this game?

Will Bails continue with Weetra and Garland?

Will another senior player get dropped? Will Yze come back in?

Moloney, Petterd, Bate, Rivers Whelan to return?

Discuss :)

GO DEES! :)

In: Yze, Rivers, Maric

Out: Weetra, Garland, Davey (if he doesn't pull up)

Posted

INS:

Addam Maric - The excitment machine to make his debut. Forward pocket to replace Weetra.

Adem Yze - I know you'll all rubbish me on this one, but me thinks Bailey dropped him for just 1 week to see if he could get a reponse. Played well for Sandy and will return.

Sir Jared Rivers - God we need him!

Brent Moloney - Always plays well against Geelong without fail!!

OUTS:

Weetra - Un AFL like

Garland - Struggled in first 2 rounds and must be punished for the 2 passes from JMAC when he waited for the ball to come to his lap.

Davey - Injured

Jace Bode - Will never make it.

------------------------------

I really don't want to put the young kids in Weetra, Garland and Bode down, but I believe we'll be far more competitive with them out of the side.

Interesting choice in Yze...did he have a blinder at Sandy?

Not by any stretch of the imagiantion but he got a lot of the footy and was putting his head over the ball (in context with how he usually tries to do this). These reasons alone lead me to believe that he will be selected. Whether I agree with it or not is a different matter.

OUT

Garland - Don't see it, whatever it is, I don't see it.

Davey - Injured

Miller - 93 games of stagnation.

Bode - Petterd's better.

IN

Newton - Someone's got to play FF next year.

Rivers - It's Jared Rivers.

Petterd - He's a talent, don't know the story there.

Frawley - Need help down back and Miller isn't the answer long term, he isn't even the short term answer.

AND

Bate for Sylvia if he's right, but probably not.

Thanks BBP, forgot about Bode, needs to go to Sandy.

Whelan needs another 1 or two weeks to get up to full-fitness but their where good signs for him last Sunday against Casey.

Disagree. Agree with you that we need a FF but I thought Juice was ordinary at best against Casey last week. Looks like he was having a tough day in the windy conditions but on the performance I wouldn't think he woulf warrant selection this week.

You're keeping Weetra?

I would be very surprised if Miller was dropped. I would be surprised if Yze came back.

Its about character, commitment and discipline to follow team rules. Yze???

Weetra is not going to be dropped with Davey injured, simple as that.

And yes, at the moment he does not look that accomplished.

Why not try Maric instead?

Exactly RR. Bailey will stick strong with those that follow the team rules over those that don't. Which is why we won't see Moloney, Newton or Petterd this week and I doubt we'll see Yze again for quite a while if at all. I'd love to see Riv get back in and this week is when he was scheduled to return. If wheels has pulled up OK he may come back in as well. I have a feeling Bate will get a run with Sandy first. So for me:

In: Rivers and Whelan

Out: Davey (inj) and Garland

Weetra survives for one more week.

Posted

OUT- Davey, Garland, Weetra

IN- Bate, Rivers and Maric

A smokey to debut- Stefan Martin ;)

EDIT: Actually i would really like Frawley to come in also, i think it will help if he comes in the same time as rivers.

Agree with that Bailey likes Miller and will give him every opportunity.

If he brings Yze back what does that tell him? It tells him that if he gets dropped it will only be for a week at a time.

Weetra is also a favourite at the moment and will probably get another week.

Petterd, Moloney and Rivers, if available, should be in and if possible Frawley, we need to know if he is up to it.

Yze only played the 1st round because Sylvia, Bate, Dunn and Bartram were unavailable. He was not there on merit. He showed in the pre season what he was good for. He confirmed it against the Hawks. His gamestyle and attitude is a compromise of every one of Bailey's principles.

IMO he's gone for good bar injuries and extraordinary happenings. If he is not back by Rd 6 you can assume that the next time Yze will be on the MCG will be next year pre match propped up in an open top car with his kids doing a slow lap of the ground with well wishers waving their Red & Blue scarves saying "He was still good for another year." :rolleyes:

Davey's injury and Moloney and Petterd's petulance has probably saved Weetra another week.

Posted

I hope not, I'd rather see another kid like Maric come in for weetra, he has show so little, i have not even seen anything that makes me think we will make it as a afl footballer.

People are kidding themselves if they think Yze is going to play and Miller won't.

Yze is done. Time to let go.

In: Rivers, Bate, Petterd/Frawley

Out: Davey, Bode, Weetra

Garland stays in? He has been nothing short of hopeless.

Garland stays in because I don't tend to give up on tall, athletic players after 3 outings.

Leave the team unchanged, except Davies if he is unfit. let them all know this is there crunch game, do you want to play for Melbourne or not. Then next week drop anyone who does not follow the game plan etc. PS no point putting the kids to the sword at Geelong.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
