But Batram might not actually be playing.

I'm pretty sure that they never take anyone off onto the emergencies in the starting 18. Obviously if someone gets injured late eg. James McDonald last week, things can change.

I think that Melbourne refers to the CBD in common sense, obviously, since there are teams from other suburbs of Melbourne.

Whoa interesting team for against Richmond. I thought Jetta would at least be in interchange (from). It's a disgrace that Dunn is named in the centre. Interchange is hard to pick from. I want both Cheney and Petterd to play but I think Petterd may miss out and the other three will be Jones, Spencer and Maric. The Newton inclusion will be interesting.

It was an older team but considering that we had played Yze, Carrol, White and Holland plays a part.

I agree that they need a tall presence down back now that Garland is out, but I think Martin still has the potential to develop into a key forward. Playing him on Richo around the ground would be great and interesting to see, I reckon Rivers may match up on Richardson for a while. Nathan Brown could be a possibility for Martin to play on, as he did well on someone of a similar phisyque in Ebert.

If Newton played there is a very high chance that he will have little to no influence. He may well be in the interchange (from) in the team that is released tomorrow, however.

Hopefully the whole season. Cheney already has been a shining light for us and he's averaged over 17 possessions and six marks in his first three games.

I hope Martin plays in the forward line for once. There has been so much speculation about Martin being a forward, but it seems that he never has much time actually playing in the forward line.

Well, I guess that this is where Jetta needs to step up. Jetta should and will become that sort of player. I still think Bennell is suited to more of an Andrew McLeod/ Peter Burgoyne sort of role running through the centre and out of defence and kicking long goals.

I don't think we can expect too much of Bennell by throwing him forward after he has only played a couple of games in a succusfel Half back/midfield sweeper. I hope Green continues his sharp-shooting and kick another few. I also expect Bate and Miller to kick 2-3 each, hopefully Davey and Bruce can kick a couple also, and also Maric if he plays. If the players above can get the recuired goals we will win.

All jumpers that Melbourne wear should be only red and blue. Keep the white one aside for Nab Cup perhaps, the silver failure of last year is a distant memory now.

I think they play the video before Melbourne home games. Well they did before Melbourne V North Melbourne. There should be a Melbourne Hankook ad as well.

Dunn's hanging from a thread so I think it's play him forward or drop him.

Looks like Maric is right up for selection this week against Richmond. I hope he plays.

I agree. When Dunn debuted there was a lot of hype about him, and for a while he was playing well as a half forward. Since he's gone back he has not achieved much, so there is no reason why he can't be playing forward again and kicking a couple of goals a game.

Pretty sad hearing Robbo saying that. Things can still turn around though.

I agree. I want to see us win games (more than 4). And it's only round 4 we should not think about draft picks when we (technically) can still make the finals.

The AFL has a ridiculos policy on Jumpers clashing that didn't used to exist. In the AFL's eyes they think they Melbourne's navy blue would clash with Port's black, which I don't think is true. We will definitley wear it against Essendon at the Dome, as well as Carlton, but if we wear it against Richmond it will be going to far. Oh yeah and we might wear it against West Coast at subi as well.

Plenty of good signs there. We will have a full strength team. And I can't wait for Jamar to come back.

Yes, he will be playing. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsart...69/default.aspx

It has already been proven to an extent.

This article's interesting. Leigh Matthews says that Good recruiting is the Lifeblood of any team- Melbourne have got that right.

The least you could do is find an equal comparisn to Sylvia.

Finally, they've updated the number on the site. Come on, 1,399 to go!
