CHANGES: Rd 09 vs Port Adelaide
No chance they drop Jones. First game in a long while. Deserves more chances. Wasn’t any worse than Harmes or Gus. I would sadly give Jetta a break and depending on conditions I’d consider TMac. We need to get the balance right. I love Weideman and Jackson at the moment. Both have been good (goal kicking aside yesterday) and honestly Jackson more than holds his own in the ruck. With so many short breaks coming up we need to give Gawn some decent breaks or he himself will break and that would be the end of our season.

He did have that elbow injury in the pre season so perhaps he isn’t all that fit. With lots of short breaks coming up, I would like to think he would get more minutes on the ground. The emergence of Trac has all but killed his career unless he finds a new position. Wouldn’t be opposed to trying him at half back. I don’t know why we insist on playing Salem so far back in the field but certainly Salem on a wing and Gus at half back could work. He is not a bad user of the footy.

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Brisbane
For as long as I’ve been watching us play we’ve been a horrible wet weather team. When it’s wet and slippery you gotta be smart. We are dumb even in dry conditions. Brisbane played it perfectly and their ball users through the middle killed us. I rate our midfield but they are mostly meat and potatoes. They see ball, get ball, butcher ball. I love what Langdon has brought to our team, he works so hard to make position and brings needed legspeed, but his ball use is average at best. If we can get Bennell fitter and onto the wing for big chunks of the game this will help. We need a feeder on the outside who can use the footy. Sadly this was Brayshaw but for some reason he is lost and Tomlinson has most certainly not delivered this yet either. I have to say I’m very disappointed in this trade.

He’s a bit soft. I really like what he brings to the table with skills but gees he hates going hard for a ground ball.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM WEIDEMAN
Does so much right. Goal kicking is one of the easiest things you can teach and we know he has a good kicking action. He is so inexperienced and has been in and out of the side a lot. He needs confidence and to work on his mental game.

Angus Brayshaw
I’m starting to worry about him. Either they need to play him inside or they need to reinvent him. He plays [censored] all minutes for a mid and when he plays he plays where he isn’t suited. Something needs to happen here.

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Brisbane
Couldn’t get our hands on the ball in the Centre despite Gawn’s dominance in the second and third. Missed like 6 super easy shots on goal. Bennell missed one on the run from like 1.5m out. Weideman fluffed 3 easy set shots. Pickett missed another gimme. Also we made some poor choices with the ball and turned it over and got smothered a lot. But otherwise it was great. Love watching a game ruined by bad choices and bad umpiring.

How can a 6 game veteran be overrated?

Amen. Biased rubbish from supporters gunning for him to fail. Pathetic uneducated call. He did as a good a job on his opponent as Andrews did on Weideman who should have kicked 3 for the game.

Dumb teams lose games. Umpires an actual disgrace to the competition. Our players need to learn to kick for goal. That is all.
