WERRIDEE

People calling for Jackson's head are out of their minds. What do they expect from a first gamer? What has Weideman done played 1 game in his life. Weideman is a step backwards Jackson is a move forward watch him blossom. Jones has been shocking for over a year now. If Hibberd gets dropped Jones more than deserves to get dropped no sentiment in football we can't gift him games to get to his 300th, time for him to join Hibberd. Neal-Bullen is a bit unlucky he wasn't too bad but Vanders is so important to the side with his hardness we need that, they could always drop Melksham but he did kick 4 against the Hawks in a pre season match so I'm willing to give him one more chance.

T.McDonald and Jones were the worst 2 on the ground. JONES - TIME TO RETIRE T.MCDONALD - GO DOWN BACK

Rubbish watch the game

Jackson you have lost the plot.

IN : VANDERS AND KOSSIE OUT : JONES AND NEAL-BULLEN

6 - GAWN 5 - PETRACCA 4 - OLIVER 3 - LANGDON 2 - TOMLINSON 1 - HUNT

That was a relief. That was a disgraceful last quarter. Too conservative, too complacent. We are still mentally weak. Jones should retire. McDonald has to go down back and Smith forward. Gawn, Petracca and Oliver were fantastic.

C'mon Dees find that first quarter form. Gawn BOG then Petracca, then Oliver then Langdon then Salem then Hunt

Disappointing that we let them back in the game. We are up by 5 goals a comfortable lead but not a match winning lead. Lets hope we find our first quarter form.

Great start Dees keep it up. Petracca and Gawn on fire.

[censored] poor by Melbourne not to put up any info on the scratch match on their website.

So far Geelong look the goods. Hawthorn look crap. Richmond haven't hit their straps yet. The pies continue to wobble.

Healy is a [censored]. Knows nothing except for his love child Freo. O.Mac is slow and [censored] gives us nothing. May on Casboult, Smith on McKay and Lever on McGovern. Casboult caused us problems last time need to put our best defender on him. Smith plays tall and can handle McKay. McGovern is useless Lever can play on their worst forward. Good to see Silvagni out he caused us problems too.

Disappointed to see ANB in the side would prefer Bedford. I can see Hunt and ANB making way for Kossie and Vanders next week.

I was thinking why not play Vanders. He's in our best 22 and can play forward or midfield.

I'm hilarious

Congrats Nev on 150 games. Let's hope you can celebrate by keeping Eddie Betts quiet.

Just great our most exciting prospect in years gets suspended. We have no one in the emergencies that can cover him. I too hope Bedford gets a game as a result.

Adelaide will be near the bottom they won't give pick 3 or 4 for Sparrow and Petty. Port may have pick 11 or 12. If we can get a pick like that for a kid that won't get a game in our midfield and an injury prone tall I would take it.

I know it's early but I thought it would be a little fun to predict trades, promotions and delistings. TRADE WEIDEMAN FOR DANIHER. I know Daniher is a free agent but we can do what Geelong did with Dangerfield and trade for him. SPARROW AND PETTY FOR PORT'S FIRST RND PICK.

Strong side I like it. Hunt was a bit of a surprise though. I thought he was finished maybe they want some heroics like the last time they played. Good to see them make a stand on Hibberd he's been ordinary for far too long, hopefully it's a wake up call for players like Jetta who was poor against West Coast. Lockhart very stiff to miss.

We now have a lot better team on the park than we did in RND 1 Brown and Spargo played that game they are about our 40th and 41st best player. We will win comfortably and we will win our next 4 games. We have our best team on the park for over a year. ENJOY IT!

Excited by this team I Haven't been this excited since the finals. I think we will have a good year. We should beat Carlton easily. Predicted team.
