CHANGES: Rd 05 vs Hawthorn
As I wrote last week he did NOTHING to earn a call up and yet was selected!! Performed poorly! Clearly a Goody fav, and given your summation put in or get out, on what justification does he get a gig this week!

The Choco Appreciation Thread
Talking to two ex AFL/VFL legends tonight,it was universally accepted that BOTH Choco and Adem Yze have had a profound influence on proceedings at MFC. Also might I add... Simon Goodwin would have to have bought into the fact that these guys would and should be able to work autonomously!! Go Dees

CHANGES: Rd 05 vs Hawthorn
I was very outspoken about Melksham getting a Gig today and he is a weak link . Given the way we are playing you cannot have a bloke that is not of that ilk.As iterated he needs to force selectors to pick him. He didn't and to my mind he should not play until he displays the grunt expected!

Casey Demons vs Williamstown
"Lines join in faint discord as the Stormwatch brews a concert of kings as the white sea snaps at the heals of a soft prayer whispered" Welcome to Casey Fields, weather report as above, ohhh hang on just got a bit of crossed wires happening via transmission some static about, .......%$(*&^$$$#@!@#$%t*()))))) As we take the cricket commentary from the legendary John Arlott "As we watch fer the ferst time Lileeeeeee Long tall lean Australian Gladiator as he goes back to his mark from the Kirstall Rd end and as he turns just meters from the fence we hear the familiar tooot of the 11.47 Cheshire Flyer sounding an ominous hoot as it ia about to reach Birmingham Station... Now Lillee starts his run up from about 60 meters from umpire Harry "Dickie Bird" .... AHH sorry about thank Demonlanders now lets segway to Benny Brown Now Benny Brown has taken a strong mark and lines up from about 40 metres away, but walks back another 60 metres and is just metres from the wing fence and starts his run up in symphonic fashion typically fluent effortless as as he nears the mark he gathers pace dropps the ball truly and scores a major. The players all gather around Benny as clearly the big man is back! Others have reported well todays classh but if I can just add a couple of things Ben Brown is absolutley ready no doubt in my mind moved extremely well hit the post once and nearly clunked another 3 or so marks. Taken of and half time and did some 220 run throughs. I would play him next week Sam Weiderman had an Alice Cooper, "Welcome to my nightmare" hardly touched it but not helped by some very average disposal Majak Daw, Enigmatic some of his taps were superb and he really started to clunk marks, Did not waste a kick and also kicked a goal , is easily fit enough and could play NOW Mitch Brown knows where to run and how to kick a goal, ( He had 3 AND a hand in another, not to be written of AVB Started reasonably and finished dominatly, imposed himself on the contest and played a typically grunty game Deakyn Smith really liked what I saw as iterated makes good decisions and positions nicely Toby Bedford Live as a couple of Slitherers seen over the journey, has a bag of tricks and uses the ball well very well, kicked a ripper goal twisting "A La Kossy" one to watch Oscar Baker flashed in and out and did enough but not sure he is the answer on a wing Bailey Laurie, Jake Bowey, Fraser Rosman again all displayed the attributes that saw them drafted but may take some time Hibbo Very good defensive and offensive game set up quite a few plays Joel Smith solid without being spectactular, sometimes his disposal can be hit and miss, I still reckon he is a forward! Jay Lockheart very good on occasions and you know with him you will get solid commitment. Thats about it Chandler, Petty did ok , Bradke is a fair way of. @#^&&***((((&^$#@#@!@@ Oh heres that static again Oh and its back to John Arlott at Birmingham..... "As we watch fer the ferst time Lileeeeeee Long tall lean Australian Gladiator as he goes back to his mark from the Kirstall Rd end and as he turns just meters from the fence we hear the familiar tooot of the 11.47 Cheshire Flyer sounding an ominous hoot as it ia about to reach Birmingham Station... Now Lillee starts his run up from about 60 meters from umpire Harry "Dickie Bird" .... this iconic Australian complete with Mexican moustache menacing facial expresion, Shirt tales flapppin in the breeze past Harold "Dickie" Bird and bowls... a perfect outssswinnger, Boycott gropessssss for that one... and as the Cheshire Flyer departs from Birmingham station ... so too does Boycott Caught Marsh, Bowled Lillee 2!

CHANGES: Rd 04 vs Geelong
But at the end of the day players have to earn games,nothing Melksham has done so far this year even comes close, not training form ,plus he is coming back from injury. We will set a dangerous precedent and if Sparrow is dropped given his huge games in the bank and upside I will not be happy ,nor should he! Same goes for anyone else in a 3 zip winning team

CHANGES: Rd 04 vs Geelong
Melksham is coming back from injury, is underdone and has not played at all this season, plus was poor last season . HOW he can be considered is fantasyland stuff.Sparrow is hard at it fierce and has done that has been asked No Brainer he stays
