Yes, you have to use a minimum of 3 picks but that can include upgrading rookies rather than picking up another player.

I dub thee King Hunt, first of his name, successor of Lumumba.

Good mark down back by Dawes there

Have we gone into a game with no changes yet this year?

He'll be in our top 3 goal scorers for the year at the end of season which would be quite an achievement.

Well Geelong couldn't and they're sitting nicely in second.

Think it was cramp

He's working his way into it, 9 tackles today shows he's working hard. He'll get better each week but I don't think we'll see his best until next year, glad he's back.

Frost has also played well down back, lets not do the whole defenders play forward thing again.

Jones and Vince are good players, but they both try to do to much with the ball. Dinky kicks, spears to high or to low, snaps over the man on the mark without moving away far enough for kicking.

Bad option with kick inside by Gawn to Dawes under the pump who marked it, could not believe it.

Finally some free running, simple chest mark uncontested... dropped. Momentum killed.

So much congestion, are the players trying to get on camera?

No I don't have a crystal ball, but I didn't expect every single word I wrote to be taken in the literal sense. If I had to post a bunch of assumptions, constraints and scope with each comment I would have gone to work today instead.

I'd say its more to do with continuity rather than choice, when Pedersen went out we had no second ruck so we gave the job to Watts who has done it admirably for a couple of weeks before Dawes has come in. Now that Dawes has come in we could have given that job to him but then we're taking away a role that Watts may be getting used to. Anyway Dawes playing as second ruck in the past has not been any better than Watts, and knowing his body he'll be out the side with the next month and we would then have to give the role back to Watts.

If your focussed on the development of players lets not go adding pressure by labelling him a gun, hey?

Maybe thats why Dunn is on the wing, to loose a few kgs that some people are saying he's carrying. We could have played ANB as a second ruck yesterday as well, cause they developed him there about 6 weeks ago if you go based on the team sheets.

They really don't even try with the positions any more do they? Must be "heres a list of Melbourne players who will be playing at Casey, name them wherever"

I can see why we got Frost as a Frawley replacement, his kicking skills are on par

Not a good day for old Jeffery

Dommy has been everywhere

Need this Vanders...

Dawes marks!

Ok, tell me what Garland managed to do wrong today? Maybe not turn up...
