WERRIDEE

No change unless T.Mac is out then Weid replaces him.

Prefer Jimmy Jordon in myself but what can you do.

Did say that I want to see Bowey replace Hibberd but thought it wouldn't happen so that is a good move. Jordon a bit stiff but Sparrow deserves another chance. Go Dees let's beat a bottom team for once.

Where did you get that info from? It's not on the website

Just listen to it on Casey radio that's what I'll be doing. Then the big game against the Gold Coast at 3 then the Storm in the blockbuster against Penrith at 7:30. My day is sorted. POSSIBLE TEAM B: LOCKHART, TURNER, J.SMITH HB: BOWEY, BRADTKE, D.SMITH C: DECLASE, JONES, BAKER HF: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, VANDENBERG F: BEDFORD, ELLISON, CHANDLER FOLL: DAW, JETTA, SPARROW IC: LAURIE, ROSMAN, MUNRO, WHITE EMERG: FOOT, GREY

Now that I'm over my frustration at not losing to the Bulldogs but our draw to the Hawks that's going to bite us on the [censored]. They will keep the same team. Love to see Bowey get a game ahead of Hibberd who was shocking on the weekend I can't see it happening. This will be the side we go with for the rest of the year barring injury. We are out of form I'd like to think we are as close to what Goody thinks but I'm not so certain.

B: BOWEY, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, PETTY, HUNT C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BRAYSHAW HF: MELKSHAM, MCDONALD, PICKETT F: FRITSCH, B.BROWN, CHANDLER FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: SPARROW, VANDENBERG, RIVERS, JONES SUB: HARMES IN: BOWEY, MELKSHAM, CHANDLER, SPARROW, VANDENBERG, JONES OUT: HIBBERD, NEAL-BULLEN, JACKSON, HARMES, JORDON, SPARGO

Season over we deserve what we get the game against the Hawks was a disgrace. We will struggle to make top 4 now. Changes must be made.

What about Dawson from the Swans out of contract and it doesn't seem close to a new contract ATM.

I'd only have the 1 change this week and that would be Harmes for Vanders but if we lose this week we are in a serious form slump and Sparrow, Bowey, Melksham and others have to be considered.

Better for us to play against a top team no pressure.

Bowey is ready to go it's just that it's tough to get a game we are pretty settled but Rivers would want to find some form soon or Bowey will take his place.

Yeah fair enough so the only change I would make Harmes for Vanders the players have to take responsibility for their terrible game on the weekend.

The more I think about it the more I agree, but Harmes will have to come back in for Vanders.

I think Brayshaw knows exactly why we don't turn up against poor sides said the Hawks were mentally tough. So I think he knows we aren't. I'd be surprised if we beat the Gold Coast with the form we are in and every game we have played I thought we will win until now.

I think we should trade Viney for Newton Picket will be wanting that.

B: HIBBERD, MAY, LEVER HB: BOWEY, PETTY, SALEM C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BRAYSHAW HF: MELKSHAM, NEAL-BULLEN, PICKETT F;: SPARGO, MCDONALD, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: HARMES, HUNT, JORDON, SPARROW SUB: BAKER IN: BOWEY, MELKSHAM, SPARROW, HARMES OUT: B.BROWN, JACKSON, RIVERS, VANDENBERG Rivers form has been shocking so give Bowey a go not Lockhart he turns the ball over too much. It will be slippery at Darwin play to the conditions and go small dropping Jackson and Brown.

Big mistake don't assume nothing with Melbourne they ain't consistent.

Have a farkin sook. Get over it. If we finish 5th it looks like the only person that will be happy is you and that is disgraceful. It was a kick in the guts tonight but the beauty of football is we can make amends the next week. This was directed at you Dr.d

They just weren't switched on after quarter time. Just thought it would happen Hawthorn had other ideas. The bombing into the forward 50 was diabolical Stafford should be sacked.

I think Dr.D has even surpassed the biggest clowns on this forum. He's one in a million.

Everybody does know the Oli and Picket are the same person right? I wouldn't trade Viney but he has to lift. His last month has been unacceptable. If he doesn't get out of this slump soon there has to be possibly dropped when we have Harmes and Sparrow waiting in the wings.

IN : BOWEY, HARMES IF FIT OUT: RIVERS, VANDNEBERG

Yeah Clarkson did a good job getting his side up for the game. but there is only won reason why we drew and that was the 22 players out there mentally weak everyone knows it. Thought we were back on track after Port but no you have to play somewhere near your best every week or your gonna get your pants pulled down and we have far too many players who choose when they want to play and it's not good. The Gold Coast game will say everything about the club. Do they eventually learn and realize 100 per cent is the minimum you must give to play the game or do they show there constant flakiness against bottom 8 sides. Gold Coast know they can beat us and if this is the Melbourne I know they will do so easily.
