WERRIDEE

The whole backline is more like own self. Hibberd abd Lever are finding the AA form again and O.Mac has been fantastic all year.

Every game is a danger game for us we can't be trusted yet.

Are you comfortable with keeping T.Smith out because both can't play in the same team.

Can't play with Hogan, T.Mac, T.Smith and Weide in the same side. T.Smith is more versatile than Weideman and in better form, so he replaces him. Garlett replaces Salem but if Petracca is fit he replaces Salem.

He can play Hogan's role and Hogan can go closer to the square considering he is injured.

B: J.LEWIS, O.MCDONALD, JETTA HB: HIBBERD, LEVER, BRAYSHAW C : HARMES, OLIVER, HUNT HF: HANNAN, T.MCDONALD, SPARGO F: MELKSHAM, HOGAN, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, TYSON, JONES IC: VINCE, NEAL-BULLEN, T.SMITH, GARLETT EMERG: WEIDEMAN Brayshaw to take Salem's role. Tyson in the guts to take Brayshaw's role. Jeffy to add more speed to the forward line. Please no J.Wagner.

Wagner is a spud so I would rather see J.Smith in the side. T.Smith in for Weideman, Weideman to replace Hogan if he doesn't get up but I expect Hogan to play.

I've been blocked been able to look at other Hearld sun articles but not this one.

Disappointed with Jeffy no goals and not in the possessions he never seems to play well at VFL level. Sounds like the Smith's played well at least Tim did. Another disappointing effort by the Dees they were never in it. We won't be a premiership threat until we have between 16 to 18 Melbourne listed players at VFL level.

If we can't defeat Essendon with the side they have out in the park, we don't deserve to even contemplate finals. We will win by 5 goals plus.

I don't think Filipovic would be dropped, he must be injured. I read somewhere Balic had hamstring tightness.

Will Keilty do some ruck work as I don't think he has a spot down back?

Happy with the changes. T.Mac is a massive in. Wagner out is a good thing. Hannan was a bit lucky IMO, I thought this would be a game that would suit Jeffy. Great to see 2 young guns in Spargo and Fritsch working together in the forward line.

Didn't someone say he had hamstring tightness?

Who do we look for in the draft? I see us delisting 7 players 6 senior and 1 rookie with McKenna getting re rookied. We need to go for 2 key forwards, 2 small forwards and 3 midfielders\halfbacks with pace

Just checked the contract status of the Melbourne players. DELISTINGS VINCE, PEDERSEN, BUGG, JOHNSTONE, KENNEDY HARRIS ROOKIES KEILTY, T.SMITH ON THIN ICE VANDENBERG, MCKENNA vandenBerg is only 6 weeks away so hopefully he can prove his worth in the second half of the year. McKenna may get delisted then re rookied. Stretch and Frost are contracted.

Jones will play long enough to just make that potential premiership team.
