Being Rnd 6 and all, I thought it would be a good idea to post squads that include players who we think are worth of inclusion and who should be ommitted. Mine is as follows

Melbourne Squad
Backs: M.Whelan, N.Carroll, D.Bell
Half backs: J Frawley, J.Rivers, C.Sylvia
Centreline: C.Morton, B.McLean, C.Bartram
Half forwards: B.Green, A.Wonaeamirri, L.Dunn
Forwards: A.Davey, M Newton, A.Maric
Followers; J.White, J.McDonald, N.Jones
Interchange from: C.Bruce, P.Wheatley,S.Martin/J.Meesen,B.Moloney,

Team Changes
In: Newton, Martin/Meesen, Maric
Out: - Neitz (Inj) Jamar (Omt) Robertson (Omt)

Meesen is at test level on the injury list, if he is 100% play him if not, bring in Martin to replace Jamar in the ruck.

I know some people will object but I have replaced Robbo for Maric. Robbo has been out of sorts IMO since Round 1 and maybe a week in the magoos will snap the bad streak. Newton is the only option for Neitz in the square but was reported for striking in the VFL.

Miller will be back, I just hope Bailey doesn't think he is a suitable option for Brown or Bradshaw. Robbo won't be dropped, thought he showed a bit of heart on Sat, got let down by delivery and poor kicking. My god Bater should be back too which will help.

IN: Miller, Bate, Meesen, Martin, Maric, Garland
OUT: Neitz, Jamar, Whelan(If suspened)

Frawley Carroll Bell
Wheatley Rivers Sylvia
Bartram Jones McDonald
Morton Miller Davey
Green Robbo Bate
White McLean Bruce
INT (Extended) Meesen, Garland, Wheatley, Dunn, Martin, Maric, Wonnaeamirri

(Bold our emergencies)
 
Melbourne Squad
Backs: M.Whelan, Holland (J. Brown), D.Bell
Half backs: J Frawley, J.Rivers(D. Bradshaw),P.wheatley
Centreline: C.Morton, B.McLean, C.Bartram
Half forwards: B.Green, B.Miller M.Bate
Forwards: A.Davey, B.Green, Wonaeamrri
Followers; J.White, J.McDonald, N.Jones
Interchange from: C.Bruce, C.Sylvia ,J.Meesen,B.Moloney, A.Yze (his accurate kicking would be appreciated by the forwards, But i'm always gonna be a fan of Yze)
 
There is no chance of Robbo being dropped, I thought he was very good on the weekend he took some good marks and i reckon he is starting to hit some form.

I hope Green is played in the forward line with Neitz out.....(but it probebly won't happen)

I forgot Robbo. I don't think he should be our main target. I wonder how he would go off half forward leadin down the ground. We are struggling with lead in the middle of the ground that was very clear yesterday.
 
Robertson was the only forward other than Green able to take a mark inside 50. Sure, his kicking was average but we can't drop him and lose Neitz.
 
Newton if for Neitz
Bate in for one of Wonaeamirri, Morton, Moloney, Whelan, Wheatley, Dunn

*** EDIT ***

With Valenti being promoted I say throw him straight in! Out another of the players listed above.

Robbo is usually a dead eyed dick. Let him win his singing competition and then he will settle back in for the rest of the season. Robbo is an absolute champ who has provided many many great memories.
 
Why any of you still have Daniel Bell in the team is beyond me. Milestone game, flooding tactics. Statistics 1 kick 9 handpasses. The guy is the most overrated player in the team. He tries hard but that's not enough.

From what I saw of him he was handballing because he was trying to stick to instructions instead of kicking it to the opposition, did he play a full game, I can't remember seeing him much in the second half? Bell is a vital player for us and I'm confident in his ability, all we can judge players on at the moment is how hard they try because they have no idea what they are meant to be doing as a game plan.
 
Anyone reckon that Valenti is a chance after being promoted?

And to the OP of this thread - Drop Robbo? Sure he's been sh*t for the first 4 rounds be he had a fair dinkum crack on Sunday, ridiculous to call for him to be dropped for Maric who did next to nothing on the weekend.

I was going to ask the same question. Does anyone know how he has been playing in the VFL? is he a chance anytime soon of getting a gig?
 
Ins:Bate,Miller & Holland
Outs:Neitz,Whelan & Wheatley

Holland for Neitz,need a big strong body up forward.
Miller back after suspension,would prefer Newton but he is struggling to get a kick with Sandringham.
Bate an automatic selection once over his hamstring injury.
Whelan suspended.
Wheatley had enough of him should be bannished to Sandringham for the rest of the season like C Johnson!
 
Frawley Carroll Bell
Wheatley Rivers Sylvia
Bartram Jones McDonald
Bate Miller Dunn
Green Robbo Davey

White McLean Bruce

INT Meesen, Newton, Morton, Wonnaeamirri, Valenti, Maric

B: Bell Frawley Martin

Ruck: White Jones McDonald
Inter: Meeson Bate DaveyMoloney
Emer: Jamar Miller Wonaeamirri
In: Meeson Bate Martin Newton Holland
Out: Neitz (inj) Whelan (susp) Jamar Carroll Wonaeamirri

I would dump Carroll because I know that Brown & Bradshaw will beat him easily. Carroll is not a good option. Must be dumped due to his poor form. Carroll has been given too many opportunities and has not yet delivered.
 
I dont think newton can play this week cause he was reported in the magoos.... and accepted the week. Would love to see Green at full forward.. i have been saying it for years!!!
 
Whelan got 1 week. What rubbish. I would hope if that were the case Thornton would go as well. The judiciary is so inconsistent. I don't think we can drop Carroll if we don't pick Holland. Those two are our only options for Brown. He's too strong for anyone else.
