WERRIDEE

Smith was on Stewart his second half was appalling. Hibberd is cooked and made Rohan look like a star fancy him playing his only game for the year against us. Petty was poor but must be played forward. They are leaving too much to Roo who needs time. The concerning thing we have is our out of form players Gawn, Langdon, Brayshaw, Pickett and Spargo to name a few and Neal-Bullen cost us the game that fumble was so costly. He fumbles too many times good players don't fumble.

This year I decided to collect every common card from scanlens to select from when I was born to now. That was from 1978 which was the 79 season to now and I found out Neville Jetta never had a common card. His best years were from 2014 to 2018. During that time Bail, Mat Jones, Pedersen, Stretch, Bugg and Kent all got a card. The biggest travesty was the 2018 season when Jetta played 25 games and Hunt only played 6 and Hunt got a card. That's 5 quality years that he didn't get a card meaning Select didn't consider Jetta worthy enough to be in the top 10 to 12 players for the year. Has there ever been a player for Melbourne more underrated than Jetta?

Spargo will be sub you don’t debut as a sub the game is on Friday so the sub can play

My possible side now that they have named the senior team B: D.Smith, Tomlinson, Adams HB: Bowey, D.Turner, Howes C: Woewodin, Dunstan, Buntine HF: Melksham, Schache, Spargo F: Moniz-Wakefield, Brown, Jefferson FOLL: Verrall, Harmes, Laurie IC: Sestan, White, Munro, Grey, 23rd man

Yes I can. The senior team. B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Tomlinson, Rivers C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Hibberd, Grundy, Sparrow, J.Smith SUB: Chandler The reserves play Friday allowing the sub to play.

My possible side B: D.Smith, Adams, Buntine HB: Bowey, D.Turner, Howes C: Woewodin, Dunstan, Jordon HF: Melksham, Schache, Chandler F: Spargo, Brown, Jefferson FOLL: Verrall, Harmes, Laurie IC: White, Moniz-Wakefield, Munro, Sestan, 23rd man

You don't think Pickett will be dropped? The other 2 surely will be dropped. That leaves Chandler to be dropped and I think he has been better than Pickett. OK we will go with Pickett not getting dropped. The more I think about it the more I think Bowey won't play. Chandler as sub. B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Tomlinson, Rivers C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Hibberd, Grundy, Sparrow, J.Smith SUB: Chandler EMERG: Bowey, Jordon, Spargo

IN : Clarry, Petty, Bowey OUT: Spargo, Jordon, Pickett B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Tomlinson, Rivers C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, Petty, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Chandler FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Hibberd, Grundy, Sparrow, J.Smith SUB: Bowey EMERG: Spargo, Jordon, Pickett

Just seen that Disco has been named injured. Hibbo definitely in.

So the only change for Monday is Hibberd in for Bowey. If Hibberd hasn't got up it could be Disco playing, that's why he may not be named in the team, just guessing.

The commentator last week said he was a week away.

Interesting point made but I think it would be hard to drop a developing player for a Casey player. I don't think we will ever have a full list playing together so a player like Munro would be safe. This week's possible team. B: D.Smith, Adams, Freeman HB: Howes, D.Turner, Steele C: Woewodin, Dunstan, Buntine HF: Melksham, Jefferson, Grey F: Sestan, Brown, Moniz-Wakefield FOLL: Schache, Jordon, Laurie IC: Munro, Valentine, Munro, Neocleous, Sheppard

With the exception of Farris-White I think every other player would get a game ahead of a Casey player when fit. If you want to be specific White gets a game ahead of Farris-White.

B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Hibberd, Rivers C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Bowey, Sparrow, Grundy, Spargo Casey B: D.Smith, Tomlinson, Adams HB: Howes, D.Turner, K.Turner C: Woewodin, Dunstan, Jordon HF: Melksham, McDonald, Chandler F: J.Smith, Brown, Schache FOLL: Verrall, Harmes, Laurie IC: Sestan, Moniz-Wakefield, Farris-White, Jefferson The team always looks better with Lever playing the back pocket interceptor the problem is since we moved Petty up the ground and is now injured we haven't had a CHB. Hibberd is too small and Tomlinson too slow I'd rather see D.Turner take over CHB but they are not playing him in front of Tomlinson and Hibberd. The rest of the positions pick themselves. Chandler should be used as the sub.

IN: Oliver, Hibberd, Turner OUT: Bowey, Tomlinson, Harmes Chandler the sub. Don't want to see Tomlinson in a Melbourne jumper again he's too slow Turner should have always been ahead of him. B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Turner, Rivers C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Grundy, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Hibberd, Sparrow, Spargo, Smith SUB: Chandler

Clarkson

B: Turner, May, Bowey HB: Salem, Lever, Rivers C: Hunter, Brayshaw, Langdon HF: Pickett, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Petracca, Viney IC: Sparrow, McVee, Grundy, Chandler

He's got more possessions and kicked more goals. They are going back to last year with one key forward and Gawn up forward it didn't work last year and I doubt it will work now.

Not overly happy with the changes. Surely Brown had to come in. What the hell has Smith done? If Melksham didn't get suspended he'd be in. Tomlinson how many chances does he need to prove that he's NQR. Turner should be in look to the future. Not confident in this game at all. If we lose to Carlton it will be completely unacceptable and will spell the beginning of the end for Goodwin. Can't drop this game.

Time to play the young kids as the season is over

Here's my crack at the possible Casey side. B: D.Smith, Tomlinson, Adams HB: Howes, D.Turner, Steele C: Grey, White, Buntine HF: Sestan, Schache, Moniz-Wakefield F: J.Smith, Brown, Jefferson FOLL: Bell, Laurie, Woewodin IC: Valentine, Sheppard, Gregory, Baldi, Emile-Brennan EMERG: Sheridan, Edwards, McRae

If we lose to Freo the short dynasty is over. If we are going to figure in the finals it's a must-win game.

Salem played pretty well.

Just watched the reserves and didn't Disco have a great game. No one else really popped up to me. IN : Sparrow, Turner and Jordon if Oliver isn't fit. OUT: Hunter (sus), Bowey (inj) and Oliver if he's injured. B: Turner, May, Hibberd HB: Rivers, Lever, Salem C: Brayshaw, Oliver\Jordon, Langdon HF: Pickett, McDonald, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Petracca, Viney IC: McVee, Sparrow, Grundy, Chandler SUB: Jordon\Melksham Emerg: Melksham\Laurie

In: Brown, Sparrow, Harmes Out : McDonald, Bowey, McVee he can be the sub. Hopefully, Brayshaw doesn't play in the middle again after that performance. B: Hibberd, May, Rivers HB: Salem, Lever, Brayshaw C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Pickett, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Petracca, Viney IC: Harmes, Grundy, Sparrow, Chandler SUB: McVee
