Bates Mate

I think it will be, fritta in for Laurie who will be sub

100% this. When either of them are forward, they end up too deep and we often just end up bombing to them and end up with at least two dees flying for the same ball (+ kozzie alot of the time) without success. Jackson was able to push up and be a linking forward. I thought Grundy would have been capable of this but hasn't so far

Agree 12 months is a long time in football. It feels like mid 22 was ages ago. unless you have a Delorean with a flux capacitor and some plutonium don't know how it's possible to wait until mid 23.

I judge 3 years in the top 4 and a flag. I'm 45 easily our best coach in my lifetime

Selectors are the public voters online , the team is just for clicks

No

Hearing a few sources say we are still pretty heavily into Georgiadis.

Hibbo officially concussed is disappointing. I thought he deserved to be in the team ahead of scache and Tomlinson. I'd also have him ahead of bowey and Salem based on form this year

Fritta confirmed https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1413368/injury-report-fritsch-closes-in-on-return Kudos to Selwyn and team this year done a cracking job, getting players on the park and managing work loads. Learned some lessons last year and adjusted accordingly

I've given up watching any of the football shows this year. Haven't missed them one bit. Front bar the exception

Mcartin just got let off at the tribunal because you know Sydney

Will be tougher for the tigers given they gave up 3 first rounders and a second for Taranto and Hopper. Giving away valuable future picks and then doing a runner Mid season would annoy me as a tiger fan. Taranto has been good but where do the tigers finish on the ladder this year without him? Maybe one or two rungs lower. But with great hands in a really good draft

Does his melkshakes bring all the boys to the yard

I grew up in the 80s and was the only kid in a demon's jumper at what was the Auskick (used to be called footy clinic). My son is in Auskick and demons easily top 4 in terms of kids wearing our jumpers

Today was one of the worst umpired games (boundary included( I've been to. 4 field umps is making things worse. Another brilliant Chris Scott idea I believe.

Bowey and Salem been down for a while. Love to see Hibbo back in. Judd Mcvee is now our premier small back/best ball user

Has alot of mates today

Salem worse

Not with this forward line

Well said. I'm over worrying about the permutations of games not involving my club. Anyone anywhere is the attitude I've got and know the club feel the same as we should. I don't fear any team at any venue

Hoskin Elliott getting carried off the ground in a losing 200th 😅😅

Ch7 commentary box quite flat, during that last qtr. Collingwood loosing games has them rattled

Howe as a forward , good luck

Laurie has a couple of strengths compared to Spargo. Pace and ability to rack up high disposals albeit at Casey. Can't say I've been that unless from what I've seen this year but will back in the match committee

Tmac dosent have it in him to give any type of pressure once it hits the deck. His body is past that. Was cumbersome at best even in his best years. Had a great tank which helped him get space but always pretty average once it hits the deck
