If we play BB, TMac, SW, and Fritsch forward we will be too tall and won’t be able to keep the ball in like we have. TMac Jas to go to the wing he trained on in the summer to support Hunt and Superstar. If he doesn’t work out there - he might find himself pushed out - that’s footy. He is a tall forward in a top 4 team - he should be getting the ball - it comes in enough; but he is still clanking and not clunking and he is not a natural forward. The other two big boys are.

GFY. That bloke stuck around through 4 rebuilds and when we were a laughing stock he held his head up and lead the club. He doesn’t select the team and if picked he will be a lift to the players that get to play with him on a huge occasion for him and the club. And lastly, players only want to redeem themselves so you saying that he should ‘drop himself’ is betraying your footy knowledge. I expect this from PF so if you want to follow in foot steps, you’re tracking the wrong poster.

That may be but Melksham played his role again today and was part of our brutal last qtr.

Have you played footy before? If he is dropped this week, I reckon that will be that. He deserves to play his 300th on the biggest of stages and redeem himself - there is no ‘drop him and then bring him back a week later’ scenario here; that is just an immature way to select teams. So maybe we will do it...

It’s more that Melbourne supporters think that we should win, and that this now means we will lose badly or lose after being ahead for most of the game, and even if we do win it was not by enough and our percentage is a noose around our chances of ever having happiness.

If Andy did that for Demonland - he would save some money on the server rental...

No, Trac does what he has been doing. He is the most dominant midfielder we have had since <insert historical reference>.

That’s liable. Little birdy told me that... No but seriously, Carlton Draught is awful...

Cest la vie

For those who don’t speak Latin... Which is most of us.

I get what you are saying but a complete stranger has earned and deserves the respect not to be called a nickname based on the colour of their skin - whatever the intentions of those that coined the nickname.

There there. (Pat, Pat)

Decision making. Taking an extra .25 of a second to calm down and execute a better decision.

@jumbo returns you are the one that threw a haymaker at Daw for no reason in this thread. Honestly, I don’t get it. Throwing out a comment that is only going to get a reaction that then gets an expected reaction from the original poster. Daw is trying to resurrect his career, was cheap, and is being made to earn a game as a back up for Gawn, Jackson, BBB, Weideman. As far as I care about depth - I am glad to have Majak around.

Well done @jnrmac He plays his role as Langdon-lite and his decision making has improved. Kicking doesn’t improve for blokes that have been around footy for so long, only decision making improves. I think there is a role for any useful player in a good side if they stick to their strengths and play their role.

He is playing well, but he is not a star. He is playing his role well, as are the other forwards which his job that much easier. He is a skilful high half forward who has a great footy brain and knows where the goals are. We will live and die in big games with our actual star players building something that can elevate Fritsch and co. I just don’t get this need to talk in these terms with in form players playing their role.

‘Always been a star’... That is the type of post that you would role your eyes and correct. His value is as a complimentary piece and he is now the beneficiary of a system that is creating opportunities through defensive pressure. I always thought he could be the cream to a cake and the only issue has been the last two years watching him try to, and be asked to, be the cake - a focal point in a forward line without a purpose.

Honestly, some of you blokes don’t get it. What questions do you think the first female pres of the oldest club is going to get? What answers to those questions should she give? Of course she gives a shut about equality - we all should. A bloke would never get that question. And how some on here react? “I hope she cares about winning!1!1!1” And if you are trying to gauge you’re own reaction - look who you have a like from - that should be some insight into inanity.

Goodwin said on 3AW before the game that Brown and Weideman are another week at Casey away from being a chance. Petty in for May. Melksham will be good for the run, and I prefer having some leadership in the forward line.

Can someone go and collect what the Cats fans are saying? Live for those threads after a win. Call it K-rock of [censored] or something like that...

I think he is on the cusp of being efficient. McDonald’s mild return to form, Gawn, and Jackson have been really good for Bayley. I think he will be even more effective when BBB spreads the attention further.

Then effing learn to kick in driving rain... Again, you will not be learning technique to be repeated under the roof at Marvel or at the swirly contained G. What a ridiculous back and forth this is.

You change how you drop the footy and your cadence to kick the footy. @sueis right. Technique is not learnt at windswept Casey

No it isn’t. Salem has been consistent for years now and the game changing to suit him and his skills is nothing like a player that plays a good season when they are OOC.
