I'd only have the 1 change this week and that would be Harmes for Vanders but if we lose this week we are in a serious form slump and Sparrow, Bowey, Melksham and others have to be considered.

Better for us to play against a top team no pressure.

Bowey is ready to go it's just that it's tough to get a game we are pretty settled but Rivers would want to find some form soon or Bowey will take his place.

Yeah fair enough so the only change I would make Harmes for Vanders the players have to take responsibility for their terrible game on the weekend.

The more I think about it the more I agree, but Harmes will have to come back in for Vanders.

I think Brayshaw knows exactly why we don't turn up against poor sides said the Hawks were mentally tough. So I think he knows we aren't. I'd be surprised if we beat the Gold Coast with the form we are in and every game we have played I thought we will win until now.

I think we should trade Viney for Newton Picket will be wanting that.

B: HIBBERD, MAY, LEVER HB: BOWEY, PETTY, SALEM C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BRAYSHAW HF: MELKSHAM, NEAL-BULLEN, PICKETT F;: SPARGO, MCDONALD, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: HARMES, HUNT, JORDON, SPARROW SUB: BAKER IN: BOWEY, MELKSHAM, SPARROW, HARMES OUT: B.BROWN, JACKSON, RIVERS, VANDENBERG Rivers form has been shocking so give Bowey a go not Lockhart he turns the ball over too much. It will be slippery at Darwin play to the conditions and go small dropping Jackson and Brown.

Big mistake don't assume nothing with Melbourne they ain't consistent.

Have a farkin sook. Get over it. If we finish 5th it looks like the only person that will be happy is you and that is disgraceful. It was a kick in the guts tonight but the beauty of football is we can make amends the next week. This was directed at you Dr.d

They just weren't switched on after quarter time. Just thought it would happen Hawthorn had other ideas. The bombing into the forward 50 was diabolical Stafford should be sacked.

I think Dr.D has even surpassed the biggest clowns on this forum. He's one in a million.

Everybody does know the Oli and Picket are the same person right? I wouldn't trade Viney but he has to lift. His last month has been unacceptable. If he doesn't get out of this slump soon there has to be possibly dropped when we have Harmes and Sparrow waiting in the wings.

IN : BOWEY, HARMES IF FIT OUT: RIVERS, VANDNEBERG

Yeah Clarkson did a good job getting his side up for the game. but there is only won reason why we drew and that was the 22 players out there mentally weak everyone knows it. Thought we were back on track after Port but no you have to play somewhere near your best every week or your gonna get your pants pulled down and we have far too many players who choose when they want to play and it's not good. The Gold Coast game will say everything about the club. Do they eventually learn and realize 100 per cent is the minimum you must give to play the game or do they show there constant flakiness against bottom 8 sides. Gold Coast know they can beat us and if this is the Melbourne I know they will do so easily.

It doesn't matter who comes in a loss is a certainty. Most mentally weak club in the comp and everyone knows it. I'm furious at the club. They let us down time and time again no chance of a flag this year they are cooked.

Love the new time slot love Vanders in the side. Bad luck to Harmesey but Vanders gives us a harder edge and as Richo said he makes us a better side when in it. Go Vanders.

My possible team B: Lockhart, Turner, J.Smith HB: Bowey, Bradtke, D.Smith C: Declase, Jetta, Baker HF: Melksham, Weideman, Rosman F: Bedford, Ellison, Chandler FOLL: Daw, vandenBerg, Sparrow IC: White, Munro, Foot, Grey

He hasn’t got the body he will break in half project player Jackson was ready to go

What happened to Deakin Smith?

Talk about overrating a player.

Casey looking to bounce back against Tigers (melbournefc.com.au) Ellison has replaced Sparks in the team. The rest I was right on the money

The experts think he will go top 15. I have my doubts he has tricks but still a mile off AFL level. There are simularities between him and Daw he's very raw but his athletic ability the sky's the limit. It will take a very brave club to pick him in the top 20.

Well they finally played Andrew in the ruck in the last quarter. Shows promise but hopefully not a top 20 pick. Is George injured or is he just not good enough to make the country squad?

Andrew has played ok taken some nice marks but I still don't think he's top 20 maybe I'm just hoping but he's not even the second ruckman. He's playing CHF. Can see why Daicos is number 1 just a ball magnet.
