WERRIDEE

B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Turner, Bowey C: Culley (a), Rivers, Langford HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, Miochek, Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Windhager, Pickett IC: Lindsay, Windsor, Oliver, Viney SUB: Langdon Casey B: Derksen, Adams, Berry (b) HB: Howes, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield (a) C: Sinnema, Laurie, Sharp HF: Mentha (b), Johnson, McAdam F: van Rooyen, Kentfield (a), Jefferson (a) FOLL: Heath, Sparrow, Tholstrup IC: White, Rookie (a), Rookie (a) I'd delist Jefferson or Laurie promising to pick them up in the rookie draft.

I'd be more than happy to give our 2nd round pick for Windhager. Huge get quality player.

Kalani White will take his place.

I'll have a go at picking the team. B: Howes, Adams, Smith HB: Sestan, Fullerton, Bonner C: Culley, Tholstrup, Billings HF: Mentha, Johnson, Hardie F: Yze, Kentfield, Cross FOLL: Campbell, Laurie, Woewodin IC: Brown, Verrall, Baldi, Lual, 23rd man

In the draft I would go for Ludowyke, if not Ludowyke then Dovastan or McCarthy. For the rookie draft I'd go for Cross and Yze.

I doubt White and Sinnema will be rookied. They are supposed to be picked mid range in the draft. Remember we are only allowed to have 6 rookies we currently have 8 due to the inclusion of Henderson and Culley.

Not a fan of Kemp?

After the Elimination final I will do another edition. B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Turner, Bowey C: Culley (a), Rivers, Langford HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, Kentfield (a), Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett IC: Lindsay, Langdon, Oliver, Windsor SUB: Tholstrup Casey B: Howes, Adams, Derksen HB: Moniz-Wakefield (a), McDonald, Sestan (a) C: Sinnema, Laurie, round 2 pick HF: Sharp, Johnson, Mentha (b) F: McAdam, van Rooyen, Jefferson FOLL: Heath, Sparrow, Rookie pick IC: White, Berry (b), Rookie pick If Heath comes in there's no need for Campbell. I'm not sure how we can get a seasoned key forward unless we don't go for Derksen and\or McVee doesn't sign.

Maxy is the greatest Melbourne player I have seen, a bit too young to remember Tulip and wasn't born when Barrassi was around.

Baldi never played in that grand final. Woey, Laurie and Howes did though.

Was good but I think his paper's are stamped he won't be at the club next year.

Great win : Starting with the backline. Adams played his best game for the club, could be something when May and Lever retire. Sestan was great too bad he's been injury prone so the problem I see with him is we could want some rookie picks for the rookie draft. Yze, Cross, Hardie and Bonner all worthy of rookie picks. Howes was excellent. The midfield well Laurie was sensational. Just needs a chance to cement a spot and he could be very valuable for us. Tholstrup was great he's taken his new position like a duck to water in the middle. I like him there. Culley continuing on his good form at AFL level. Campbell's been a great recruit even though he hasn't played a game, continues to be a champion at VFL level. If we pick up Heath it's hard to see him get another go but he has been a worthy pick up. Woewodin was good but like Sestan they may want picks in the national draft. The forward line. Yze was sensational hopefully we can recruit him as a rookie pick absolutely worth it on that performance. Cross is a smokey to get picked in the rookie draft but he knows were the goals are and is a terrific mark for his size. Kentfield and Johnson haven't done enough yet but they can take a mark so that puts them ahead of van Rooyen and Jefferson. I think Kentfield could have a break out game any minute now.

I made 2 mistakes on my predicted team. Not the team list I know they are playing.

Good side on paper. Made 2 mistakes not putting in Hardie and Smith. Looking forward to Culley and Howes tearing them apart.

I've changed my list management strategy. Whoever is contracted stays whoever isn't goes so for the time being McVee is out. B: Lever, May, Howes HB: Salem, Turner, Bowey C: Culley, Rivers, Langford HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett SUB: Sparrow B: Berry, Adams, Derksen HB: Moniz-Wakefield, McDonald, ? C: Sinnema, Laurie, ? HF: Sharp, Johnson, Mentha F: McAdam, Kentfield, Jefferson FOLL: Heath, Tholstrup, ? IC: White, ?, ? Heath, Derksen, White and Sinnema have been linked to us if anyone else gets linked I'll put them in same as if anyone out of contract gets a contract then I'll put them in.

Brodie Kemp for Carlton is uncontracted looked good as a key forward when McKay and Curnow were out. Maybe we can untice him to Melbourne

I'll try and pick the team. B: Freeman, Adams, Howes HB: Bonner, Fullerton, Sestan C: Billings, Laurie, Culley HF: Mentha, Johnson, Spargo F: Brown, Kentfield, Yze FOLL: Campbell, Tholstrup, Woewodin IC: Verrall, Lual, Baldi, Edwards, 23rd man

I don't think we should be trading much at all. No one wants Clarry and Petracca is a must keep for mine. We desperately need a key forward to help out Petty. van Rooyen can't do it can't take a grab, I hold out hope for Kentfield he can take a grab. Miochek is an obvious candidate for the key forward spot I'm amazed we haven't got heavily into Allen the exact player we need. I think we should trade van Rooyen.

No changes how lucky are Sharp and Sparrow? They should get rid of Chaplin at the end of the year even though he is contracted.

I think she might need to bide her time. She will eventually be in the team she's important for the future. Wortherspoon also unlucky not to be in the side.

Hanks was great but Purcell was BOG by a mile.

If Lindsay is out for the season then I want Laurie in who also had a good game. Don't want to see Sparrow or Sharp rewarded with ordinary performances.

Loved the game from Purcell, she was a big loss early last year. Loved Heath just a firecracker her tackling is elite. Hanks is well and truely back to her best now that her mate Purcell is back. In: Goldrick Out: Johnson Love to see Goldrick back her run and carry is important.
