I am thrilled that we got dawes, unlike byrnes and rodan he has youth, he is very bright and he and clark along with hogan could be a very dangerous forward line for a long time, a gun midfield and mcdonald developing further and the dees will be back up where they belong

I think you might be pretty well bang on with this, only change i'd make is swap sylvia and matt jones over

I understand that he hasn't been doing the defensive stuff well enough, but i would love to see him play as a sub, just unleash him and tell him to play his game, good chance he will do plenty of damage in a one quarter burst and his opponent will be abit more tired so less likely to have as much of an impact the other way.

Who does Mckenzie go to assuming he plays? Rich, rockliff, moloney, zorko, black? not sure which other mids they have. James frawley has a huge job with jonothan brown

It's a huge call, but i honestly think of our current group of players at the end of their careers wherever that may be, howe will be the best player of them. or maybe the player who wins the most matches off his own influence

Terlich won't miss, he has been a huge find and works as hard as anyone, clark injury may be a blessing if it means jack watts can be thrown forward and have another run as out tall target with pedo and sellar

we look so much better when we attack and take the ball through the corridor.

Grimes - another strong showing Byrnes - showed good composure Evans - future demons star Trengove - underrated defencive influence Jamar - much improved game M.Jones - good solid effort N.Jones - absolute super star Sylvia - consistancy equals superstardom Bail - worked really hard Howe - oozing with talent Garland - very good performance Gawn - next dean cox Frawley - kept cameron quiet Pederson - played a role Terlich - worked really hard Watts - needs some confidence McDonald - still very young Tapscott - loads of courage Jetta - solid not brilliant Clark - hope he's okay Davey - turned clock back Viney - may need rest

for a player who has played 2-3 games he seems to have an old head on his shoulders, which is nice! and i'm sure he has alot of improvement left in him as he finds his feet at AFL level

If he played for Collingwood he'd be talked about as one of the best mids going around, he has very little help alot of the time and is so often the only shining light we have

We are absolutely a huge chance

Would it be fair to say if we beat the lions next week, Voss will be a very nervous chap?

There is abit of dean cox about gawny

I loved how we took the game on and moved the ball fast in the last quarter, that's how we need to play all the time in my opinion.

He is everything Melbourne football club needs to go forward, trains as hard as anyone, great leader, super talented and happy to not get the big stats and play his role, today just showed how important he really is to this club.

Most underrated player in the league, absolute star and is only going to get better as we do!

He's got no confidence at all and it's really not surprising. Drop him to the VFL and don't even bring his name up at team meetings until he is Dominating games, No more mismanaging the poor bloke.

10 tackles, 22 touches and a captains goal good form on the field to back up the way he has presented himself to the media recently super impressed.

6. Byrnes- stood up when the game was in the balance 5. trengove- 10 tackles 22 touches and a captains goal 4. jones - most underrated player in the comp 3. grimes - heart on his sleeve leader played another good game 2. evans - super impressive again 1. Gawn - great game, just reward for effort howe was also great

When he plays well, we can compete with just about any team.

Come out and beat Brisbane next weekend and things could turn pretty quickly

Why can't we play like that every quarter? haha Any news on big Mitch?

Not 100% sure how it works so sorry if this is a stupid question but would either gawn or evans be possibly in line for a rising star nomination here?

if we have a third quarter like last week neeld will be gone before this games over.

Quite possibly the last night Mark Neeld spends as Melbourne Coach depending on tomorrow
