McDonalds pre season form is too hard to ignore so it would be playing their strongest team like Jordon that’s why I have him front of Lockhart

That’s not true the last few years have played our strongest side in the pre season comp No we don’t have a practice match this week we don’t know who we playing yet I’m getting in early

It’s a practice match I think they will trial the 4 talls if not put in Lockhart

B: Hibberd, May, Lever HB: Salem, Tomlinson, Rivers C : Langdon, Petracca, Baker HF: Melksham, McDonald, Fritsch F: Pickett, B.Brown, Weideman FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Harmes, Hunt, Jackson, vandenBerg, Neal-Bullen, Spargo, Sparrow, Jordon Play the strongest team possible rest Brayshaw make sure he is right for round 1.

If Spargo and Lockhart play we have a chance of losing it. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

How did Baker go?

Based on Hore's injury our best 22 is B: HIBBERD, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER HF: MELKSHAM, MCDONALD, FRITSCH F: PICKETT, B.BROWN, WEIDMAN FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: BRAYSHAW, HARMES, HUNT, JACKSON CASEY B: LOCKHART, HUTCHINS, JETTA HB: SMITH, PETTY, BOWEY C: MUTIMER, JONES, FOOT HF: NEAL-BULLEN, WHITE, VANDENBERG F: SPARGO, M.BROWN, BEDFORD FOLL: BRADTKE, SPARROW, MUNRO IC: ROSMAN, JORDON, LAURIE, NEITCHKE

I can't understand the hatred towards Baker he looked good at the end of the year.

I've typed this before believe it or not but I'll now put it in the proper thread. MELBOURNE B: HIBBERD, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER HF: FRITSCH, JACKSON, MELKSHAM F: PICKETT, B.BROWN, WEIDEMAN FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: BRAYSHAW, HARMES, HUNT, HORE CASEY B: JETTA, HUTCHINS, LOCKHART HB: SMITH, PETTY, BOWEY C : MUTIMER, JONES, FOOT HF: NEAL-BULLEN, MCDONALD, VANDENBERG F: SPARGO, M.BROWN, WHITE FOLL: BRADTKE, SPARROW, MUNRO IC: JORDON, ROSMAN, LAURIE, CHANDLER

Well here it is. B: HIBBERD, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER HF: MELKSHAM, JACKSON, FRITSCH F: PICKETT, B.BROWN, WEIDEMAN FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: BRAYSHAW, HARMES, HUNT, HORE EMERG: VANDENBERG, NEAL-BULLEN, SPARROW, LOCKHART

B: JETTA, HUTCHINS, LOCKHART HB: J.SMITH, PETTY, BOWEY C : MUTIMER, JONES, FOOT HF: NEAL-BULLEN, MCDONALD, VANDENBERG F: SPARGO, M.BROWN, WHITE FOLL: BRADTKE, SPARROW, MUNRO IC: JORDON, ROSMAN, LAURIE, CHANDLER EMERG: BEDFORD, NEITSCHKE, FARMER, D.SMITH That the Casey best 22 if you are a good boy I'll post the Melbourne best 22.

I'm never gonna live this down am I? I could do a best 22 if you want?

The midfield is where we can improve. Only Petracca was outstanding the rest have had better seasons. The backline looks solid and with Ben.Brown up forward it's looking more stable it will be interesting to see the improvement from Dogga, Weid and Kossie under Brown. Looking forward to a good season from the boys.

Gawn Clarry Viney B.Brown Brayshaw

Good pre season or not McDonald is finished. If he is in the side it means Weideman and\or Jackson haven't come on which will be a bad outcome.

I think Laurie won't play either they will go for experience. B: HIBBERD, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER HF: FRITSCH, JACKSON, MELKSHAM F: PICKETT, B.BROWN, WEIDEMAN FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: BRAYSHAW, HARMES, HUNT, HORE EMERG: VANDENBERG, SPARROW, NEAL-BULLEN, LOCKHART

Should I have said songs then?

More like 34

He's got a month to get fully fit so I think he can do it but he'll start off on the bench. If not we have a handy replacement in Harmes and Vanders becomes emergency.

MELBOURNE B: HIBBERD, MAY, HORE HB: SALEM, LEVER, RIVERS C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER HF: HUNT, WEIDEMAN, LAURIE F: FRITSCH, B.BROWN, PICKETT FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: BRAYSHAW, JACKSON, MELKSHAM, TOMLINSON EMERG: HARMES FREMANTLE B: LOGUE, HAMLING, COX HB: WILSON, PEARCE, RYAN C : SERONG, FYFE, HILL HF: MUNDY, LOBB, WALTERS F: SCHULTZ, TABERNER, STURT FOLL: DARCY, CERRA, BRAYSHAW IC: CONCA, ACRES, AISH, YOUNG EMERG: DUMAN 3 KEY MATCH UPS VINEY V FYFE Viney is a good tagger and should go to their number one player in Fyfe. Harmes is also a chance if he plays. MAY V TABERNER May will hopefully continue on his great season and shut out Taberner. B.BROWN V HAMLING What a way to silence the critics than kick a bag against Freo Go Big Benny!

I hope we dominate the saturday fixture it will mean more foxtel games but at least I can go to the games work sundays so that's a bummer.

We don't have video of the week any more? Can't we just rehash Petracca or Gawn highlights or videos of kids?

Is there a deadline to get players to train with us?

Yes he has.

No Taylor definitely said Smith is training with us. He may not be mentioned because he was mentioned earlier or it's because he's going after the rookie B signing.
