WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
I understand Ron what you are trying to say but I don't think power is the thing. Its smoothness almost a gliding and pace more similar to Andrew Macleod really. I also really liked Travis and his skills and if Harley could give us 3/4 years of what Travis did we would be very privileged. Perhaps Travis could have even been a better player than even he was as he had Social issues that held him back physically and I believe mentally. Again another floored ( injured Players included) genius to join many of our Potential champs to join Schwartz Jakovich Hogan Charles Bamblett Wonnemarri Stephen Smith Glen Swann And mysterious departures of Pike and Martin. Others Will add to this list no doubt.

Exactly !!

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Exactly Lord Nev Weid and Lockhart and Oscar would be unlucky given the games of Hibbo and Smith and ANB! Who is Hore going to mind ? McGovern? Would rather give Joel Smith a try than Hore who is an interceptor and Lever can play that role.

Well give reasons and/or an alternative? A Bland "No" is a nothing comment or statement. If you have a reason for your view put your money where your mouth is!!

DJ Clearly Sam is our 2nd best ruck/forward/ around the ground option at this stage His 20 posies inc some good handballs and Contests. He gets far more marks and value when used as a Ruck backup and perhaps that his role !

Agree Rjay Oscar will be in the 22 unless a call is made for Joel Smith or Lever is not passed fit.

MATCH SIM: Saturday 6th June 2020
Other great news was Vanders out on the Park. Many doomsayers Have mis read his injury and just assumed it was on top of the 2018 one and written him off and summarily retired him. Yes it could be another false dawn but it's been good to watch him in many of the matches on TV recall and other Demons matches while in lockdown. We won most that I have watched also. Jonesy will give our half Howard spot a boost at about 2 goals a game of course with Kossie so it's the mids and talls of the forward line that need to simulate with the ball coming down for us to score at a sufficient rate From our chances to win. Harley and revitalised kicking star in Trac should assist no doubt also. With Tommy Melk and Fritta plus Weid And Petty I reckon their is enough ability to gel together, Let's see any way It's against the top 4 or5 that we may be less proficient!

Agree Harmsey should be in a positive tag role or up forward when resting He can find the ball and is not a bad kick or converter at least by our standards!

Think that Lockhart and when given the opportunity Rivers will provide that Run and line break Also if in the team Smith will contribute as well as May and Lever.

Fritsch is AFL standard and Petty and Lockhart and Weid are still potential also Hannam and AVB have had fitness issues and need a good block of games to get form and confidence. Don't agree that All are VFL. Pres D sorry

Seriously the worst team ever picked DP hi Small and too light Harmes at CHB and Fritsch at CHF would be a disaster Hore is not AA material he is too light for the monsters and too slow fir the speedsters in defence. Good intercept mark but we have Lever and can't have both in same defence. Lockhart deserves spot and O MAc is needed If 2 big talls in opposition. Why Melksham instead of Clarry? In the first ruck DP? AVB is not fit for R2 and Hannan would need more match practice. Weid has to start to provide a target also. Petty underdone but has ability I acknowledge. Brown not up to it in R1 also.

Top 10 MFC Indigenous Players
Yes one for the ages Was there that day don't recall Graham. Quite a few of those goals were from a Long way out from memory Cant remember who kicked them.

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
In place of whom??? Sparrow has not earnt a place and Petty would need to be very fit as he has not played any pre season games. ( Petty is good potential and it dies look as though any player prev injured will have to still be given opportunities with a fitness or match training Deficit under their belt.)
-
CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Agree re Brown Hibbo Nev Spargo. Havent been able to judge Joel Smith as he gets injured too often Needs succession of games and again why not forward??? Great to get back Salo (HB) and Jonesy (HF) both automatic. Lockhart def worth a spot was one of 3 or 4 defenders that dud job. He attacked and was source of drive. Weid needs this opportunity as Brown looked fragile and underwhelming fumbling marks etc. intresting yo see final 22/23.

TRAINING: Wednesday 27th May 2020
Looks every inch an AFL half back even more!! very surprised if he is not slotted in our defence by seasons end!
-
CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
No way Lockhart won't be in 22 or 23. Jones will be HFFlank Hipefully Harmsey in mids and forwards not backs

Jonesy a cert! oscar also I reckon

Revised 2020 Fixture
Any F to Air is considered prime time ie 3.30pm in Sunday is a good time better than 1 pm or 6pm
-
Revised 2020 Fixture
BN why is that's the death slit that's the late Sunday GameStop 6pm!
-
Revised 2020 Fixture
Sunday's are considered afternoon not twilight and Are FTAir. Yes Thurs and Frid are best but we have got only 4 or 5 more away games in 12 and 2 already interstate trips. Maybe at best 2,more with Alice Springs still included I think. Actually we don't play bad at most venues so if we miss GWS away and of course no Geelong it's not a bad draw even if we played in Hobart. Time to get real and raise the bar as in 2018.

What about Jonesy he will kick 2 a game at least if left to play guests A big plus he and Salem also. Bedford May miss out because of Jonesy but would really like him to be given a run at it.
