There is a game this week V's Box Hill.
You'd imagine Melksham will play this week as he did most of the training yesterday and if Brayshaw gets through ok, he'll certainly play round 1. Melksham maybe for round 2.
Hibberd was in full training yesterday according to reports but has been in rehab the entire pre season so a round 3-4 return looks more likely you'd think.
Thats good news. Might have all three ready vs Freo.

I pray to the almighty gods that there is a VFL practice game this week and Melk, Hibbo and Angus can get a full game in before round 1.

Do you think saying fact at the end of an opinion changes it into a fact? Statement.
No because it wasn't an opinion it was a fact. Fact.

Freo will be no pushover despite their recent injuries.
A midfield boasting Fyfe, Mundy, Cerra, Serong, Brayshaw, 2 superstars and 3 who had fantastic seasons last year and will improve. I reckon it’s a stronger midfield than ours.
The betting odds in this game are way off in my opinion. Our form at The G in 2019 was poor.
And lets not forget they beat us just a few games ago when we had finals to play for.
They are a better team than us and much better coached. Fact.

May and Jetta our best two defenders of the last 20 years.
Lever looks like he could be set for a breakout season.

56 years and counting. Still looking for a culture.

Thats optimistic HB

I cant think of a club that would miss a player more than Melbourne without Steven May.
We have literally no backup.

O Meara and Wines to win the Brownlow, but no votes for Petracca. These captains have a good sense of humour.

Deakyn Smith - had a good game for Casey yesterday playing back pocket, he's smart player, good disposal and courageous, I think we have found a good player, reminds me of Richmond's Baker
Great addition to the young depth
Is he a lockdown type defender? We are desperate for a Jetta replacement
-
His spot is in jeopardy for round 1 with Kozzie back and Chandler outplaying him. Might even get Melk back too.

Following the very poor showing yesterday, I'd like to send TMac, Spargo, Baker, AVB, Harmes, Tomlinson, Jetta, Jones, Jordon, Sparrow and Bedford back to the VFL next weekend to try and earn themselves a spot for Round 1. Chock certainly has his hands full improving the skills of this lot.
However, given that it is likely that all of Viney, BB, Weid, Hibberd and Melksham will be out for Round 1, some of the above will get call ups, but hopefully only based on performance.
My team would be:
Rivers May Lever
Hunt Petty Salem
Langdon Petracca Tomlinson
Pickett MBrown Fritsch
Chandler TMac Jackson
Gawn Brayshaw Oliver
INT: ANB Jones Bowey Harmes.
To me, Petty has to come in, and therefore, until we have a better option (which I don't think will be any time this year) I'd move Tomlinson onto the wing - its what we bought him for and he is the model we based getting Rosman on.
Given the lack of form of our injury free key forwards, I think we need to entrust Mitch Brown to the CHF role for now, and put TMac back to FF where I think he played his best footy back in 2018. That should also free up Jackson from having the best defenders on him (at least initially).
When it came to picking the interchange players, I found I couldn't find one player that would make the best 22 in virtually any other AFL team. I may have forgotten someone but the lack of depth really concerns me. When we get back our injured players, these guys will struggle to make the bench IMO, unless they dramatically improve their skills and their form. That's a bit harsh on Bowey, who I think will become a player. he certainly has the disposal skills we so desperately need.
I think Tonlinsion on the wing is the right move to start the season... isnt that why we recruited him, to help us on the wide open spaces of the MCG where we struggle to win games?
We didn't play there last season so we haven't even seen what he can do for us yet.

The biggest tragedy of that 2000 side was that it was so young. With some good recruiting and development over the next 3-4 years to bolster the list, we should have genuinely been contending for premierships for years to come.
We won 10 games in 2001. We also drafted Scott Thompson that season , but he buggered off to Adelaide soon after. What could have been....

Who do you think would win in a match if they played each other? And would Febey play on Febey?
