WERRIDEE

Does anybody know how our academy player is going I forgot his name?

I think they should move him to half back. He was half back in the game a few years back against Geelong in Gawn's breakout game and was one of the best I think he's a better option than Lockhart and Harmes.

T.Mac should play CHF running to the wings and half back line to chop out Gawn.

We don't need any rejects we should head to the draft for running half backs\wingman. Daniher is the only one I would have considered but now that Weideman has found form we don't need him.

We won't be resting players so it will be hard to see Jordon or Sparrow playing anytime soon. Jones, Rivers, Neal-Bullen and Tomlinson are all in front of them.

Jetta will get him he's not done and dusted yet struggled against Rankine but his form on Wingard was good.

Gawn's load is what I'm worried about but if he can handle it that's great. Resting players is always a danger cos it makes the other team think that we don't rate them. Playing the best team available gives us the best chance of winning so I'm happy with that.

Petracca is a gun the best player in the comp ATM. Clarry has been ok he still has a lot of improvement in him starting off with his kicking.

Disappointing to see Vanders out but it makes it easy on selection. T.Mac for Vanders.

Weid to play deep and half forward swapping with Jackson and T.Mac to play further up the ground wing half back.

You could always use Harmes or what I would like to see Brayshaw in defence to free him up a bit.

Weid to play deep and half forward swapping with Jackson and T.Mac to play further up the ground wing half back.

Just the one change T.Mac for Lockhart keep Jacko in he's a gun. B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, O.MCDONALD, HIBBERD C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, HARMES HF: PICKETT, T.MCDONALD, BENNELL F: JACKSON, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: BRAYSHAW, VANDENBERG, HANNAN, MELKSHAM

6 - GAWN 5 - PETRACCA 4 - OLIVER 3 - VINEY 2 - LANGDON 1 - WEIDEMAN

C'mon Picket get serious? Smith is rawer than Jackson and Brown is not a pack crunching forward like they hope Jackson to be. Jackson is clearly the best option.

Looking for to the new combo of Jackson and Weid. A partnership for a deade.

No change The team is playing good enough to not make any changes but if McDonald's injury is worse than first thought I would play Jackson. Credit when credit is due I thought Oscar was good tonight I'll eat my words and say he is a better option than Smith.

6 - GAWN 5 - VINEY 4 - OLIVER 3 - PETRACCA 2 - LANGDON 1 - HANNAN

GO THE MIGHTY DEES! Great win without T.Mac. Gawn and Viney were fantastic. Petracca even though his kicking was terrible Oliver, Langdon and Hannan were also good. Good to see Weid hit the scoreboard. BRING ON THE HAWKS!

Gawn is a superstar best ruck in the league. Langdon and Salem playing well. We need to take the most of our opportunities up forward great to see Weid take a good mark unfortunately T.Mac isn't there to help him out.

Harmes can't even bounce the ball and then fumbles when we are out. Lever can't defend Weller. Gawn's stupid punch. We only have ourselves to blame. We are a bottom 2 side unfortunately.

It's a better team. I like the inclusions of Jetta, Weid and Bennell not a fan of O.Mac prefer Brown. Lever and Melksham have to count themselves lucky. Tomlinson is a dud we never should have recruited, Hunt has lost it try him down back again, Rivers needs time and so does Smith.

I agree going for a ruckman was just plain stupid by Melbourne as usual. We already have the best ruckman in the league. Why on earth did we need another ruckman?

The second tall forward is very much needed if it's Jackson, Brown or Weid or 2 of them and drop T.Mac because he has been terrible. We haven't got a genuine KPB O.Mac is pretty much the same as Smith it was a massive blunder by Goodwin to get rid of Frost. Lever doesn't know how to play the floating 3rd tall now he is a terrible footballer drop him. Gawn to get back and be the 3rd floating tall down back he done a great job doing that against Carlton he hasn't done it since. Keep Smith down back or drop him he doesn't have the smarts to play forward. Harmes should get more midfield time but Brayshaw should be drop to smarten him up like it did in his 3rd in the Brownlow year.
