I think Petracca will be traded especially if Dunkley comes on.

Did O.Mac play ? or did we use one of our p.ss weak excuses by labelling as injured. Ferkin, why do we continue to play Preuss in the reserves when he is a cut above the rest.

Viney should stand down as captain which means he can be more focused on football. Jones should be captain of Casey until the end of the year.

Bolton would be an asset to us as assistant coach, just ask Clarko.

Out Pert,Taylor,Rawlings,Goodwin,Wagners,Jones,Lewis,JKH and Mission for starters.

Demonia , I do think O'Mac needs to play in a different position, other than defence and to do this in the reserves. Oscar may be pathetic at this point in time however there are others in the same boat. I don't get the selectors motive not to play Preuss, it is woeful to say he was left out because of the condition up north. Basically we are forced to select a team who cannot play the MCG.

We are often told that a player is out for 2-3 weeks but we now know that our medical wan.ers really mean 10-12 weeks with a possibly of more. Yes we don't get the steak knife as a freeby. Surely Pert must find out what is going on or what's no going on with long term injuries.

Getting a rookie at this time of the year won't help the dees. However as a future player he may become a hit. Something tells me that someone like Petracca is going to be put up for trade bait i.e a direct swap for H.Brayshaw.

I don't know why Preuss isn't playing seniors. Surely why would you go to a club to be a backup ruckman, when you could of stayed at norf in the same position. Beside dominating ruckman are not winning matches. Would have like to see us keep Pedersen.

Doesn't Viney's ( co capt) have a younger brother that is close to being selected under father and son rule.?

Every year we look forward to something , get disappointed as usual. Couldn't care less for 2020 , cannot stand 6.6.6 format

Would like to see us pick White for Casey based on his form and the fact he was on the Dees list years ago.

Perhaps we could pick up Jaxon Briggs from Casey. Could be a surprise packet.

Lets treat footballers like men , having a beer whilst injured is no big deal.

Totally agree with Shaun Smith, we are still miles behind other clubs when dealing with injuries. Mission has been there far too long. We also need to change our coaching staff , Rawlings has been there far to long. The club are a successful year cannot afford to be caught napping ,you also need new input , new methods to achieve your goals. I am sick to "fn" death of the quotes regarding length of time a player is going to be off for. This goes on year after year after year , sounds like we don't know what we are doing. Good on you Shaun. Hope Goody will to notice.

Lewis and Jones in the same side again , [censored] we are going to get killed.

Did we fail to understand the 6.6.6 format, perhaps our brain trust don't have a clue. After rd 2 wouldn't you look at the way other clubs play (top clubs) to the new system and make the necessary changes. Mind you the new format is a flop , the bigs scores expected ain't happening.

I would like to see Keilty play ruck for most of the game. Our mids can feed off the oppos ruckman.Gawn to play back/forward. Lewis to play up front . Jones to be dumped . Other changes I don't really care.

If Freeman has overcome his hamstring problems, he would be a good buy. Otherwise I would go for Adam Tipungwati , just a gut feeling.

If we keep playing Lewis and Jones in the same side, I am going to spew or back the opposition, perhaps both.

Garlett gets picked for the seniors, as the club knows he doesn't have to put in the 2nds.

Is Mark Neeld back at Melbourne? How else can you got backwards at a rapid rate of knots.

We need to get more out of Petracca before we think of trading him. We could trying playing in defence or look at dropping him. He is no sylvia mark 2 or a watts he is better , but needs to prove it. The same time the clowns runnings the need a kick up the ..... or are kicked out.

Play OMac as a forward for Casey, if he is a failure trade. If he does well promote. May Jones captain of 2nds.

Viney to miss a couple of weeks , is it going to be the same as May's 3 week layoff blowing out to 7-8 weeks. I wish the Medicos at Melbourne wouldn't quote any figures regarding injuries.
