I can see Salem forcing his way in. JKH continues to show strong VFL form but with finals on the line i'm sure the changes will be minimal

I would like Hibberd, but let's not waste our time convincing him if he's leaning towards staying. There are other players on the market that we can peruse. We should be effectively active again this year.

Fair enough. I think we all just had very high expectations for him this year. I think he needs to drop a bit of weight in the offseason to make him more mobile and quicker off the lead

Hogan having a disappointing imo year and probably won't top last years goal tally

Bluey probably 1 Gawn 2 Viney 3 Tyson 4 Jones 5 McDonald

Pretty nervous we'll lose this one tbh..

How devastating if we beat Geelong and Carlton and the Giants lose Talk will be real if we win tis week and North lose. Both comfortabley

Matthew Pavlich retire. Troy Chaplin retire for Tiges

I'd like to think Salem would give more output off half back than Harmes

The old Melbourne would lose this week But the old Melbourne would have lost last night. If we losing to a bunch of top up players in the reason we miss out then that will be depressing. Might motivate the boys this off season and next year I guess

JKH and our 3rd for their 2nd?

Kent creates about 8 goals per game. 4 for each side

Laughable decision

That Essendon game is proving so costly

He's quick and can kick goals. We need those players

terrible troll

no no no no no no no

Max will destroy Lobbe. First game back in the AFL for 4 months and was dropped to the VFL earlier in the year before he got injured

Melbourne team: round 21 B: Sam Frost, Tom McDonald, Neville Jetta HB: Jayden Hunt, Oscar McDonald, Tomas Bugg C: Christian Petracca, Bernie Vince, Dom Tyson HF: Jeff Garlett, Jack Watts, Aaron vandenBerg F: James Harmes, Jesse Hogan, Dean Kent Foll: Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Jack Viney I/C: Angus Brayshaw, Clayton Oliver, Billy Stretch, Cameron Pedersen Emg: Chris Dawes, Colin Garland, Alex Neal-Bullen In: Hogan Out: Sam Weideman (quadriceps)

Hogan has said himself that he is looking to hopefully get the contract out of the way during the offseason. He's shown plenty of signs that he's staying, and wouldn't want contract meeting and phone calls to distract him during the season

B: Jetta, O.Mac, Frost HB: Vince, T.Mac, Hunt C: Stretch, Tyson, Bugg HF: Petracca, Hogan, Kent FF: Garlett, Pederson, Watts FOLL: Gawn, Jones, Viney INT: Oliver, Harmes, Vandenberg, Brayshaw IN - Hogan OUT - Weideman (corky)

I mean like the entire kneecap going straight into his groin at full speed. As apposed to his knee hitting the groin at a slower, less forceful manner. If that made any sense what so ever

I saw the Rioli tackle on Weid and he looked VERY sore coming off. Looked like a nasty straight knee into the groin. He'll be sore

I don't it's that we work better without Hoges. We just have to learn to be less predictable when he's in the team
