WERRIDEE

Melksham great first half, Brayshaw great second half. Fritsch, Brown and Spargo played well. Great chase down tackle by Bedford and then that great running goal, superb. Rivers, Sparrow and Jordon show great signs and Bradtke battled manfully in the ruck.

Spargo, Lockhart and Brown doing well. Disappointed that Melksham is off the ground he was BOG at the time.

WHAT THE HELL IS STAFFORD DOING?

Lockhart and Melksham playing very well. Brayshaw is rusty.

Munro. Mitch Lewis is 37. Don't know the rest of them.

Spargo and Brown playing well. Melksham slotted a nice goal.

Bradtke the only ruck and I suppose Melksham is the captain, interesting. Not sold on this one too much of a reserve side for this match.

Wrapped with the second half. Petracca unbelievable happy with the performance of Lockhart, Vanders and Sparrow.

A lot better quarter that one Jones and McDonald on fire. Petracca BOG.

Have I missed something is Smith not playing and has been replaced by Jordon? Petracca has been fantastic and Lever, Pickett and Brown have showed a bit the rest underwhelming.

Disappointing so far I thought it would be a comfortable win. Hibberd has been disgraceful and the Weid is a dud.

Disgusting effort that has probably cost us finals again. It's just a Melbourne thing. Paxman is a star and Cunningham is a spud.

Can't wait for this game. Rapt to see Vanders and Smithy back. Excited to see Kossie and Jacko. BRING IT ON WE SHOULD PUMP THIS MOB.

Finals or bust I'm afraid for Goodwin.

Brown gets a go due to Petty's pre season. Pickett comes in as the small forward. Jackson comes in as the second ruck. Most teams are using second rucks so I think we should too. Vandenberg and Hannan need time in the VFL to show that they can cope with the rigors of the AFL. I fear Kolodjashnij won't play a game again, Bennell will always be a question mark and Preuss will miss the start of the season.

I thought Tomlinson was injured if not place him on the wing put Hunt onto the bench and drop C.Wagner.

Well a disappointing end should have batted first but at least we didn't go out in straight sets. Larkin proved his worth. Cartwright going down was a blow. Maddinson and Dunk are duds and should be delisted. Sixers too strong but if we can make a few changes we will be right up there again.

How bad are the stars? They can't bat. Gotch and Larkin aren't up to it and Maddinson is a dud. Well it looks like we will go out in straight sets disappointing us again.

3 losses in a row now troubling times. Stoinis so important to the team needs to get runs on Friday.

Hopeless performance. You can sack as many coaches as you like but when you only have 2 good players in Kruze and Toivonen it makes it hard to win a game. Nabbout dud, Kamsoba dud.

Go the mighty Stars they are a lot better than last year and it is their championship to lose. Stoinis and Maxwell in fine form.

I think Pickett thoughts?
