Great video. Must have taken ages to put it together.

Maybe if the delivery to our forwards was up to AFL standard, we wouldn’t even be talking about him.
None of our forwards have played well in both games. Fix the bigger issue and see if the problem remains.
Goody has some serious quick learning to do before the season is derailed.

Take it as you will but May was having beers with Gawn (and other Melb players) after the Brownlow and said that he wants in at Melbourne next year. Feeling was that Hogan is gone but wasn’t sure how the trade would be done.
This comes from a reliable source and we are trying to manage how we can maximise on the trade.

Pretty spot on dbj.
Our selections and particularly the chopping and changing without any continuity towards team cohesion, player confidence and allowing new entries to step up to 'AFL Level' fitness and pace over 2 to 3 weeks continuity (at least) has been woeful so far.
Agree with most of the above but now that Kent is out (agree should have been given one more week as should have Bugg) i want to see what JKH truly offers in the next 2 weeks (minimum). My view is if you bring someone in they have to have a fair crack at showing what they might be offering and backing your initial selection. Ie., they have to be in such good form over a few weeks or more at Casey that you have no option but to select and give them a run at it. JKH didn't do that but has now earned the continuity as he is there, even if his inclusion was on the back of an initial poor selection criteria/judgement.
So, if the FD collectively feels King can at least neautralise a fair percentage of contests and has at least a 3/4 match tank or more i would run with....
Ins: Lewis, Bugg, King, Pedo
Outs: ANB, Melksham, Spencer & Smith
If King is just too far away and too big a risk then:
Ins: Lewis, Bugg, Pedo
Outs: ANB, Spencer & Smith
Frosty to share ruck duties with Pedders, Watts playing a minor 3rd string role when needed (max approx 10% of game time)
Fair comment. Like your thinking!

Goodwins selections this year have been woeful in just about every game.
Fancy picking Tim Smith (after dropping him after one game) and not picking Pedersen who is a good back up ruckman. Dropping Bugg after one game was a mistake as well. He would have added more grunt and pressure than four Jay Kennedy Harris’. I watched JKH last week and he was average at best. Again, Kent was stiff to be dropped after one poor game given Melksham has had four average games in a row. I just get the feeling Goodwin has his favourites and this really bothers me.
Ins: Lewis, Bugg, Kent and Pedo
Outs: JKH, Bullen, Spencer and Smith.

Where'd you hear that? I hope its true
Reliable source.

Gold Coast have offered Howe $650,000 a season which we won't match. Means they have to trade with us to get the deal done.

you are spot on!There is the option that Melbourne don't want him, I'd heard rumours a while ago which I dismissed (and won't repeat) but maybe the club don't want him.
-
Problem with Garlett is that he is purely an "outside" player and we have way too many of them. Robinson is hard at the ball but like most of our players lacks ability to hit targets.
-
Wouldn't have thought they are the type of players that will help us move forward
-
Was pretty much spot on IMO.
-
Not a very good analysis.

100% he has received an offer from Fremantle. Still wants to stay a demon but will see how we finish the season off.
Don't ask my source as I can't reveal.

Strauss
Byrnes
Spencer
Fitzpatrick
Evans
Nicholson
No way we would get rid of both Spencer and Fitzpatrick. Chance of one but not both.
-
Frawley for Dawes
Michie - Matt Jones
-
Reprimand, surely. Deliedio got off for his elbow to the face against Geelong
-
Interesting comment about Watts. Didn't overly agree with that point
-
My information is that he is happy at the club and likes living in Melbourne. Would be surprised if he wanted to leave the club given he hasn't played a game for us.
Wouldn't be surprised if he extends by the end of this year as a sign of good faith!
-
Between Tyson, Salem, Viney and JKH I finally feel like we are heading in the right direction. Throw Hogan in there as well and the future is starting to look brighter. Might as well tell Byrnes he is no longer required and work with guys like Toumpas, Tappy, Gawn and Riley.
-
Frawley still 50/50. WIll be having a jab in toe tomorrow and see how he pulls up on Sat morning. Wants to play (and is hopeful) but sounding highly unlikley.

We are appealing it!

TEAMS: Rd 06 vs Richmond
in Melbourne Demons

I’m thinking Brayshaw goes into the midfield, Tmac up to the wing. Brown and Smith in for Viney and Lever
