What

He is shaping to be an elite one on one defender and contested mark. He would free up T Mac to use his run... and there is still room for Sam Frost in the team even if we did have T Mac and Aliir. All three are superb athletes.

I would love for the MFC to go hard after Allir Allir

Bugg can play a role, hes a very good run with and lock down player and tackles hard, gets in his opponents head. Trengove is unfortunately cooked and so slow that he is a liability.

I quite like Bugg, he was a solid contributor for us last season and I can see him holding his spot in the team.

Would love for the Swans to be 0-4 after tonight, unfortunately that would mean a West Coast win but you cant have everything. Also, 'HAWTHORN recruit Jaeger O'Meara will miss against Geelong and is not certain to return for the Hawks' round five clash against West Coast after suffering a knee injury against Gold Coast last Sunday.'

Glad to see Frosty back.

Vince in, great. Feeling better about this game now.

Great. Sooner we get him back the better, he is a gun and will surprise a lot of MFC fans, Not so great. Just a minor setback though fortunately. Still think he will play some senior footy this year, underrated player with plenty of upside.

We always begged for a lockdown small defender and a halfback with pace that takes the game on. And from the ashes came Nev Jetta and Jayden Hunt, almost as though the lord himself clicked his fingers and turned them into guns overnight.

Lewis will miss the Tigers game, and return the week after to face the dirty drug cheating Essendopes.

Bingo.

Did the ladder predictor again and tried to be as pessimistic as possible, and still came up with 11 wins. That had us finishing 10th, one game from 7th position.

No, I expect us to kick a high score this week and win by 40-50 points. Their outside run is a danger, but we have them well and truly covered for contested footy, and its not like we dont have our damaging outside run anyway. But a win is a win, and every one of them counts toward making the finals. So if it is an 'ugly win' I wont be complaining.

Will be happy with any win this week, no matter how we get it or how much we win by. The Dockers were great last week and we will be missing so many guns. A 1 point win in the sloppiest game of the season would be just fine. We just have to win.

AA halfback? He can do it, he is that good.

Extremely minor surgery. - A Melbourne spokesman told AFL.com.au on Sunday that Vince had his toe repaired on Saturday night, with the toenail removed. The Demons will monitor Vince's progress in the coming days, but remain hopeful he will be available to face Fremantle at the MCG next Saturday.

Yup, it is utter stupidity.

It was only picketfence and Enyaw who called for ANB to be dropped. They like the attention.

Surgery for Bernie Vince http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-04-09/vince-undergoes-surgery-for-toe-injury

Another great game from ANB, that backwards kick aside. Starting to see why people were calling him a steal at pick 40 in the 2014 draft, with some mock drafts having him go in the late teens. (And his equally impressive mate Billy Stretch was a steal in that drat too at pick 42)

Really want Angus Brayshaw to start firing so we have two things to thank the Saints for and to laugh at them twice as hard.

Anyone know the status of Sam Frost? Underrated player who can play multiple roles, including ruck. Will be nice to get him back in.

In - Spencer, Bugg, Pedersen Out - Gawn (hammy), Vince (toe), Weideman FB: N.Jetta - O.McDonald - J.Melksham HB: J.Hunt - T.McDonald - C.Salem C: B.Stretch - C.Oliver - D.Tyson HF: C.Petracca - J.Watts - A.Neal Bullen FF: J.Garlett - T.Smith - D.Kent R: J.Spencer - J.Viney - N.Jones Bench: M.Hannan - T.Bugg - J.Harmes - C.Pedersen

Surgery confirmed, 12 weeks out. That puts him out til Round 15-16.. maybe 2-3 games at Casey, then back in the red and blue for the final month and a nice shot in the arm for us come finals time.

Third in the league in disposals after Round 3. When was the last time a 19 year old did that? I am gonna say never.
