picket fence

Agree with most but would offer this Oskar Baker looks ready but where does he play, deserves a game with recent very good form and excellent game today.Reminds me a bit of Cameron Ling the way he plays Sam Frost is too good for this level hardly made a mistake and unless Petty is one out of the box He also deserves a game . He was top notch today Bernie was irrepressible as he was impassable also too good Stretch started very well faded a bit at the end but again was consistent. Still not convinced though but he has definitely improved. Jeffy some good pressure acts classy goal but this standard does not suit him I believe. Not sure he would ever dominate a game.

As mentioned previous a mate of mine who had a major association with Collingwood said one thing to me when this was announced "Good Luck"

Tellingly, the bloke that was most rapped for Petty was PEDO! Just watch the vid on the official site! This is the hallmark of not only a great spirit but hopefully a great mentoring program!!

Melbourne team: round 15 B: Harry Petty, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta HB: Michael Hibberd, Joel Smith, Jordan Lewis C: Christian Petracca, Jack Viney, Angus Brayshaw HF: Christian Salem, Jesse Hogan, Clayton Oliver F: Alex Neal-Bullen, Mitch Hannan, Tom McDonald Foll: Max Gawn, Jake Melksham, Nathan Jones I/C: James Harmes, Dom Tyson, Sam Weideman, Bayley Fritsch Emg: Charlie Spargo, Billy Stretch, Cameron Pedersen, Bernie Vince In: Petty, Weideman Out: T.Smith, Vince

Yeees the big booming TORP!

Magnificent words and so true!

Truer words have never been as emphatically keyboarded!

I don't have tp prove anything! But you are right in saying We haven't proven anything yet. Got one right!!

But true!

Ahh serious?? Have you seen the 88 Grand Final?? Hnmmm !

Bernie Cooked Frost should have got a game Jeffy cannot see why he is not playing crumbing forward. BENCH baring T Mac who is extremely doubtful Weeds, Stretch, Spargo, Fritta

Agreed to old and SLOW!

Yep Condensation is just...... well full of hot air on cold permafrost. Ok I'll call it. We are not that great! We are not yet up to the mindfulness and true inner belief that we can roll better sides. Yep Bully boys we are and until such time, the media and wider discerning footy world will rightly judge us as so! So Pro Dee That's my take!

You do realise my friend that we have lost the last 2 with the inclusions as specified. And ex of Lever and possibly Garlett we have our best side in?

Give me a break 18 months?? Tracking Fine?? The year is 2018 the time is NOW! We have succumbed to Geelong, Hawks, Collingwood, Port Adelaide, Richmond. These sides have everything we haven't as mentioned above. We have beaten No one in 2018! Dont give me Norf, or Essendrug, they were both playing shizen when we played them! Until we unlock the style and game plan and personel that wins crunch games we shall remain perenial underachievers. Not for one minute are we certs for a finals berth. This is 2018, we still have not reached the consistency, outside run, and inside Class that make the Richmonds , Geelongs and West Coasts of this competition so good.

I reckon T MAC and to a lesser extent Jetta will both be very doubtful to play this week. That would be two forced replacements plus at least another 1 or 2 ,... so could be up to four changes happening! Four changes should see Frost, Weeds, Stretch and Garlett well and truly coming into the frame! Outs T Mac, Jetta, T Smith and maybe Bernie? Tracca??

Peoples Voice vs Robotic Turds would seem appropriate!

I dont know how many times in the past 3 weeks or so I have bemoaned a legitimate crumber around goals! I keep thinking gee Jeffy would have been in that spot, therfore giving a chance but alas he was not. True form in VFL Must be criteria for inclusion, But we are crying out for a crumber and Jeffy is the best we have got. He plays this weekend!

Onwards and upwards! "Pervias Rectas" and all that stuff! Whoever made that call Re Toumpas needs to go to purgatory for a zillion years! Don't care what permutations ensued after! We stuffed up BIGTIME!! Blind melon Chitlin!

No not buying, Weeds before injured played a much better role and is more dangerous around goal! Also when he played we won 3 games straight! He is a must in along with Jeffy and possibly Frost!! Gotta reward magoos form!

I took it as a Nar , Yeah , NAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

And this is our greatest test!!

Well imagine that I said pre game we would have to put the breaks on Bloody Westhoff . If I can see it why cant the match committee?? It surely cant be that hard. If players aren't listening or up to it and continually make the same mistakes then DROP THEM!!! This happens time and agin it was a perceived danger than put some more thought into match ups CHEEZUS!!

FACT is we lose big games! Something has to give Weeds, Frost, Stretch ( even though not a fan) demand inclusion after very very solid form in Magoos, Garlett presents some serious x Factor and can kick telling goals he he comes in as well. Time to send a rocket up a few that have not performed well enough when it counts This is a live or die caper and we need some strong decision making from selectors before its too late.

Well hate to say it but some of my pre season predictions are a little of the mark, but worrying times ahead of us I feel!
