Ins and Outs This week

[45HG 1,559]

happy with frawley, disappointed with no bate and garland. Bailey must really be seeing what they have to offer before deciding, which is fair enough, but will make for frustrating viewing

Any one remember George Lake?

George Lakes actually was at South Melbourne when i was playing for their U19,s in 1972 under Coach Neil Compton (our 1964 last goal hero)

He was number 9 at melbourne and played over 50 games

Lots of players only played once

I saw footage on the Herald sun page yesterday where the players where training at the MCG and Neitz wasn't training, I wonder if he is doubtful that would explain the three talls that have been included.

Frawley has to play and play for the rest of the year the sooner we can get 50 games into him the better he will be, has to play KPD though

Chris Johnson still in???

Garland backin???

I'm bemused yet again

I'm happy to see Frawley back in. Would love to see him go to Fev first up. Gotta give him a go I say.

Could be right - MFC site not updated last I checked, but teams were supposed to be finalised at 5PM.

Decent changes either way

I don't trust them, will wait and see if anyone can confirm

that will be correct... not sure why moloney can't get a game, however I think CJ did enough last week to earn another run... he found the footy, which has been his problem in the past... his skills are there, they will improve...

want to drop a midfielder, how about everyone's love child bartram, he's been horrible so far this season... needs to go back to the 2's and find some form...

We look good on paper. Especially with Miller and Chris Johnson gone.. hallelujah!

And Moloney back will give us a boost

i hope that Frawley starts on the ground in a key defensive post, with a job to do. Lets see that hes made of.

Frawley could probably take Brad Fisher.

Fisher: 192cm 86kg

Frawley: 193cm 88kg

Both have reasonable foot speed, so it could be a really good match-up for him.

Moloney is still struggling with injury. He wasn't dropped after Rd.1, they rested him. Some have short memories to 2005, but it's 2008 and maybe he won't have the same impact.

All things being equal, I give Moloney plenty of time because of his drive, his contested footy, and his love of the club.

i would like to see us play our good KPD on the 2nd line carlton forwards. in effect, let fev do what he wants. let rivers playt rue CHF where he is best, no matter who plays their. riv will drop back and cut a couple off but still if fev kicks 10 and no one else gets any we will be in a good position. similarly i think it would be worth tagging midfielders OTHER than judd. do you think we can stop judd anyway? so lets restrict stevens and co and force judd to do it all on his own. tell brock to line up on judd and to focus on getting his own ball, hopefully brock can get enough going the other way to make judd slightly accountable.

they have judd and fevola, no one else is a real danger in the sense that we couldnt stop them, so lets cut off their support so we can focus on working with the ball.
