Jones is probably ahead of Sparrow in the best 22 but he and the club would realise that the margin isn't that great and its best to get games into Sparrow leading into the pointy end of the season should injuries occur later

No change ... simple

Brown won't be playing if he isn't in form in the VFL tomorrow and maybe even the week after ... selectors have shown that form dictates selection even if we are crying out for a tall to take their opportunity ... and that's the way it should be

Petty is 22 in a few months and is developing ahead of time for a tall that has missed a heap of footy through injury ... i just think forward to when he is 24 or 25 years of age and what he will be doing for us ... helps put the odd error he makes now in context

Selectors have shown they are picking in form players ... Weid and Brown originally got a crack after strong VFL form ... Brown played well last week in the shortened match sim and if he gets a good game in tomorrow he will be strongly considered for GWS ... Weid will need a solid block of 3 or 4 games so forget him returning sooner unless there are injuries ... lets not jump the gun however as injury news sometimes comes out a few days after the match which would change things

Awesome night ... junior home and away membership worked a treat ... as I scanned the ticket through the turnstiles an attendant approached me ... I thought that would be the end of the night before it started ... he then asked me to put on my COVID mask ... I have never been so happy to wear one ... solid win by the dees while not playing our best footy

Lots of games to come, the Daw is still open

l think they have some sort of lights system at the turnstiles on the attendants side that shows if they are junior tixs or not. Anyone know

Absolutely right. Probably a greater risk is that a younger player would be less able to handle the occasion

for the rich saints game full and restricted can get 2 visitors in but the gates are closed to provisional ... provisional are just a cash cow it seems

don't believe visitor passes were offered this time .. l am provisional also by the way

Forgive me for I have sinned ... in a moment of weakness I looked up the bombers cheapest membership package ($85) ... I gave it serious thought before repenting and now seek the forgiveness of the demonland faithful

are you a provisional mcc member?

Agree, reboot for a month or over pre season. If a forward gets injured he is next up so we still need him. Some might recall he struggled with his contract year last time for a period ... extend he by one or two years on modest money with good incentives and take the shackles off him

.

Sam isn't exactly going out on a limb ... 15-25% ... 30% ... 50% ... next 36 hours

I think our focus needs to be around developing a key tall by trading into the top 10 or seeing if there are any still very young outside the box types at state level ... Weid looks like he won't make it and tmac and BBB will do the job but won't be around in about 3 years when our youthful mids in Trac, Oliver, Jordan, Harmes, Brayshaw are still running rampant through the middle

Seems to be as strong a sponsor as we have had for some time - to cover both AFL and AFLW shows that Zurich truly sees the value in our relationship. Our leading community programs and players (i.e Nev Jetta) help differentiate us from other clubs. Anyone know who has been our longest serving main / principle sponsor?

Anyone can play Melks role at the moment

Pretty sure Jones and Jetta would know they in their last year

Dean Kent? ... you don't get handed midfield roles ... you train hard, must do heaps of extras, and get your body right ... then and only then do you ask to play in the middle

Correct, and a few always go out eg either Weid or Tmac may look elsewhere for security. Neither is getting a long term contact at mfc. Also clubs smooth out contracts to get players into salary cap ie offer tmac extension of 1 to 2 years and smooth out the amount over those years ... l think that's what gawn and lever have done and may should do. If we want a gun player there is always a way - two guns isn't doable though

Not what Jason Taylor said

Reiwoldt while On the Coach recognised the re emergence of the role of wingers and will pick them ahead on ballers as part of his AA selector role ... was also positive about lingers chances

haven't missed them at all in recent times
