Lord - you have much influence!

With that in mind Wonaeamirri is now officially Wonawkiheza3hget8LOL.

Davey Weetra and Bode out, in come Rivers, Frawley and Moloney for me. Doubt they'd bring Wonawkiheza3hget8LOL straight in, be a pretty tough initiation - he played against them in the NAB Cup but this is 10 times faster and harder than the mickey mouse competition.

They've been spelling it like that for two years, you'd think they'd contact Brent and tell him he's not spelling his name correctly.

Another thing that shits me is every week Robert Walls says Adam Fiora. Her name is Princess Fiora.

Heh, poor bastard, that's a bad nickname to pick up.

Wona will definitely play as he was elevated to the senior list

He would have waited otherwise ( in case of injury )

Simon Buckley, James Frawley, Austin Wonaeamirri, Cale Morton are my picks for the bench. if davey doesnt play it will be moloney methinks, as he will play in the centre.

i agre that aussie will be straight in. given sandy are playing port melb this week (and are thus restricted in the number of melb listed players) you would think that aussie would only have been elevated if he was gonna get a game.

or if some one can correct me here, because i have assumed that rookie players dont count in the melb 12, but perhaps they do.

Complete agree with that bench. Would've prefered to see Maric in action but oh well.

Good to see Frawley being called up after i literally just last night started the thread asking why he wasnt playing :P

Rivers strengthens the backline soooo much. Hopefully he is fit now and doesn't break down again. Best line up we've fielded for a while I think.

So Aussie to cover Davey. Moloney, Buckley, Morton as midfield rotations. Frawley as back up KPP. Normally there's a ruckman on the bench but both are named on field.

And yes people it's Moloney. And PettErd. AN E PEOPLE. PETTERD.

Good luck spelling Wonawkiheza3hget8LOL's name though :lol:

i agree with a 5 man bench too, all the help we can get!

I am no fan of Jace Bode. He evokes in me the same feelings I felt watching Luke Williams kick sideways all the time. BUT - last week he was one of the few who tried to work hard both ways. He was one of the few who led towards the ball carrier in an effort to provide them with a target. He is an ordinary player at AFL level IMHO but he is very stiff to be dropped this week.

OUT

Weetra, Bode, Garland, Davey

IN

Wonaeamirri, Moloney, Rivers, Frawley

Garland and Dunn would be the toss up, i'm sure.

Don't risk Davey, not in this game.

Moloney would kick DB in the mommy-daddy button if he can't play this week.

Wonaeamirri showed more in the NAB cup than Weetra. Valenti very unlucky though, but I have an inkling there will be list openings soon.

Bode is tough but slight, and where is Petterd? Without Rivers and Petterd our backline has the average IQ of a Nepalese mountain ferret.

I think Morton and Wonaemirri will play. For balance, I guess one of Frawley and Garland will play, and I'd prefer the former. Moloney'll be keen to get a gig against his old side.

I liked Buckley's courage to run - regardless of the missed targets - but his defensive running was very poor, and for that reason - and not anything turnover-related - I wouldn't mind seeing him dropped. That'd give CJ an opportunity.

Wonaeamirri showed more in the NAB cup than Weetra.

I saw two matches. I can't remember much of 'Aussie', but I was pretty unimpressed by Weetra's form.

Why's that?

No Maric? I thought he played a decent game on the weekend at Sandy (from reports I've seen) and we have really battled for small forward crumbing. Aussie hopefully comes in to fill a void and run and chase all day!

Wona what?

Wona who?

Wona where?

Wonaeamirri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bucks better not get dropped in my mind, he has been on of a few that has tryed to take the game on, sure he has made some mistakes but hell its not all his fault. He needs as much game time as possible and he will become our speedy midfield superstar we have all wanted for so long.

This is the conundrum that Bailey faces. Does he persevere with players of average ability who follow his game plan to the letter, or play players with natural ability who can't fully grasp his game plan?

At the moment we have very few players with natural talent who can grasp his game plan. Hence the floggings.

i agree.

at least he has the courage to break the lines and try to be effective, rather than players like dunn, who run around in circles even when he's got the ball (which isnt much). Hes too good to be playing for sandy.

by the way, anyone know what the situation is on juice Newton?? is he injured or dropped?? he's not THAT bad...

DROPPED

A/ Round 1 : Played like a spoilt disinterested teenage schoolgirl [Can confirm - was there]

B/ Had row with coach [unconfirmed rumour via demonland reports]

C/ Showed little with Sandy last week [demonland reports]

Needs to demonstrate a turnaround in both form and attitude

Are we playing youth or not? Surely he's one to persist with, he's actually shown something...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
