    If he wants it let him have it.He deserves to go out on his own terms.Absolute champ of the club some on here have bad memories or are to young to have seen how good he was in a very ordinary team.Often wonder how good he could have been at a more successful club.But he stayed loyal

    Wasn’t expecting 6 changes, I sort of wonder if the selection committee started falling down a rabbit hole of sorts when changes started. Gawn was obviously going to be a walk up start when available and sadly for Preuss it makes sense he makes way. Jones in for Sparrow just makes sense, I really would love Jones to pull out a classic performance (maybe get one over his little bro). 

    But after that as I said the domino’s started falling. TMac has had chance after chance and done very little, it’s sad to see him go from one of the competitions top forwards to what he is now in the space for 18-24 months. Brown deserves this opportunity. 

    Fritta out is a big call but I’m ok with it, he had been doing very little lately particularly when the game is there to be won. This could be the kick up the bum he needs. 

    Harmes probably deserves it as well but I think he’s been horribly mismanaged. I would’ve preferred to see a positional change that puts him in the forward line, potentially taking AvB’s role. 

    Happy seeing Rivers back in, less thrilled about seeing OMac (though I’m a fan) and Wagner. 

    I’ve tipped the Saints and these changes don’t fill be with confidence. Like so many other matches it’s going to be down to our midfield working harder than the opposition and taking our chances when they come. I’ve been feeling Weid has a big bag in him this year (he should had a couple already), if it happens this game it could be the making of him. 

    tmac was never a top forward

    The same reason the tigers spent big on Lynch when they already had Riewoldt - 2 gun tall forwards are better than 1. If Daniher was available, he'd be replacing TMac, not Weideman.

    Injuries are a concern, but it's not as though he's coming back from his third ACL - plenty of players have successfully returned after missing long stints with OP.

    He'd be expensive, he'd be a risk and we'd need to deal with Essendon at the trade table. All are very good reasons to walk away, but I still think it'd be worth asking the question.

    you forgetting we have anther one up our sleve.Jackson

    Why bother with him,when we have a developing forward in wiedemen and as he matures will be better than joe the goose it just takes time for the big blokes to grow into their bodies.Think Hawkins ,but dont think he is that good to be honest

    There may be an obvious answer to this question which escapes me right now, but who was the last player to leave Melbourne for another VFL/AFL club and then come back? Anyone since Carl Ditterich?

    I appreciate that it happens rarely across the competition, although there have been some notable exceptions, such as G Ablett Jr, Paul Salmon, Johnn Barnes and Trent Croad. But it's rare and, I suspect a guide to suggest that it won't happen this time, either. 

    RDB came back as coach does that count

    This is massive. I'm just thinking the additional expenditure to fly VFL teams around the country... frankly I find it baffling.

    This bit struck me too:

    "The Victorian clubs as well as Sydney, GWS, Brisbane and Gold Coast will be allowed to either field their own teams in the new VFL, align with an existing team or spread their players across multiple clubs."

    So the alignments

    they are kidding surely
