WERRIDEE

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.

What a great move to get rid of Frost well done Goodwin

May is one of the few in form shouldn't happen. but we will see in the next 2 weeks if we can potentially be a top 8 side or a bottom 3 side.

both

I can't believe Saty doesn't blame the coach he's the only one on earth who doesn't. As you said the buck stops with him time for him to pack his bags.

[censored] I know you don't like him. Did you watch the game ? It was Lambert Townsend plays for Essendon and that was Oliver's fault. He's just a stopper what do you think O.Mac is? I hate O.Mac as much as you hate Smith but I would rather him in the side than that spud Lever. Lever is suppose to do something and never does he is a bust. Drop Lever before you drop Smith.

MAY - FAR TOO LOOSE SALEM - NOT REALLY IMPROVING HARMES - NEEDS MIDFIELD TIME PETRACCA - OUTSTANDING FIRST HALF VINEY - SAME OLD JACK LEVER - WORST RECRUIT EVER BRAYSHAW - COMPLETE FRONT RUNNER GAWN - THE BEST RUCKMAN OLIVER - WORST KICK EVER HIBBERD - GREAT 2 GAMES LANGDON - FORM IS WAVERING MELKSHAM - DROP HIM PLEASE HANNAN - PROVIDED SOME SPARK TOMLINSON - NOT A WINGMAN VANDENBERG - BETTER SECOND HALF RIVERS - FAR TOO YOUNG T.MCDONALD - BALTA KILLED HIM HUNT - COMPLETLY UTTERLY USELESS FRITSCH - PROVIDED A TARGET PICKETT - DEAR IN HEADLIGHTS LOCKHART - WHERE WAS HE SMITH - DONE HIS JOB

If we can win the next 2 we are back in it 3 and 3. Gold Coast without Rowell aren't daunting and Hawthorn aren't anything special. but we have to change everything from game plan to personal I don't think Goodwin is willing to do that because he is a dud coach.

Brayshaw will end up like Tyson and not get a game for them. That's how bad he is playing. Trade Lever back to Adelaide for 2 first round picks they would be stupid enough to do it. Trade Weid and Preuss for Daniher.

Jones and Jetta are over the hill and O.Mac is a spud. The decision to get rid of Frost is turning out to be a shocker. Frost is 20 times the player that spud Lever is.

I don't understand the hatred for Smith he is a young kid making his way and kept Riewoldt to 1 goal. He did his job, Lever is a bigger problem on big bucks and does nothing week in week out. The worst recruit we have had by a country mile.

We don't have another key forward. Lever did play 3rd back. Smith was on Riewoldt and May was on Lynch. Lever is useless the most overrated player in the comp. I agree that Bennell is in our best team but that is it. Riewoldt only kicked 1 goal Smith did his job Lever didn't whatever that is?

The problem with that is we played our best team and got flogged. Time to look at the future that's all we do at Melbourne. We have an overrated list and a terrible coach.
