Atholwebb

Salem and Lumumba in for Stretch and Michie. If Viney is out injured and I haven't seen any injury report on him apart from mention on DL that he has a neck injury or concussion, then I think Michie will stay in and replace Viney in midfield.

I just love the way Oliver seems to come from nowhere with great acceleration, grab the football and handball it quickly to get the ball moving forward. A great acquisition.

I hope Clayton Oliver's bump on Prestia in the second quarter is not considered head high. If it is, he is in trouble.

Out   Salem (inj), Harmes, Hunt, Pederson

In .    Stretch, ANB, Oliver, Garland

Please try Frost in the back half and play Dunn at CHF although he is not the permanent answer there but a good long, accurate kick to Jesse as he proved on Saturday.

Trengove very close but more likely to play the following week at the MCG.

And I am not the Athol Webb that played Full Forward on that fateful September day in 1958. The real Athol Webb was my favourite footballer and as a kid I wore his number 15. He, however, wore number 5 in the GF in '58.

If we draft Sam Weideman and he is a star then I can forget what his grandfather Murray did to us on GF day in 1958. A long, bitter memory. We would have had 6 in a row and definitely been the greatest team ever. Oh, for those days back again!

A great full back was Tassie Bob. Both Bob Johnsons are sadly now gone.

It seems a lot of comments rather than focusing on football matters are devoted to abuse and vitriole. Very disappointing when it could be a great web site for really good, considered discussion about our football team. These days, you have to scroll down a lot in a topic to find something related to football and not personal ribbing and poking fun at the other person.

There are only 4 spots left on the list going into the draft with Harmes, King and White as rookies.

I should have said it is Friday the 30th when decisions have to be made on those out of contract when AFL lists are lodged

Josh Mahoney said a decision has to be made by Friday on those on the list who are out of contract. Refresh my memory, who are those out of contract.

Good on you Fitzy. Probably play in a premiership before any other Melbourne player.

Very definitely yes. Not a smart decision

I will back the Hawks footy savvy in against the Dees footy savvy in any day (recent history very much proves that) and has David Neitz still a forwards footy role at the Hawkers? Has to eventuate though and it may not.

Guess what. The Hawks are interested in Jack Fitzpatrick according to Herald Sun. Could this be another Stef Martin? A tall, mobile big man. Good luck to Jack if it comes off. Never given enough opportunities at Melbourne.

Anything is possible but I would be surprised if Watts is not at Melbourne next year especially if Howe goes.
