Autopsy Round 2: Changes v Essendon: Brayshaw, Lumumba in for Frost, McDonald

[Ambrosia]

It's a theory. I think it falls down a bit on demonstrated skills though. We used Vince in a particular fashion in the knowledge that he was B&F for his club previously in a not dissimilar role. Melksham doesn't really come with runs on the board. Having said that he's presumably picked with a role in mind. But if there is magic in Melksham it clearly hasn't been realised yet in his plus 100 games

I see where you're coming from. I just see Melksham as having similar attributes to Vince.

He supposedly impressed in his last three games of the season playing at halfback for the Bombers, so was recruited to play a similar role. Having not watched the tail end of their season I don't know how warranted it is other than he averaged around 20 disposals in those three games. I personally can only recall the shithouse Melksham of the past two years. That said, our current recruiters don't have too many misses to their name so far, so will wait and see.

That's possible I just assumed he was recruited because Goodwin rated him highly.

He's a strange player Melksham has the ability to grab the ball, sell some candy and kick a 60m goal one moment then next play he'll stand flat footed while his opponent runs away from him like he's standing still.

Fun fact: Traci Lords was 9 years old when that scene was filmed.

I want to like it but it feels a bit creepy.

I agree. I think we should stay away

On another note, if we somehow lose this week then something fishy is definitely up down at Windy Hill.

I mean like PEDs or something...

[stretcharmstrong]

if our ball improvement improve DOES improve (4th highest effective disposal efficiency in the AFL in round one) it should be a very nice game to watch on Saturday

I'm curious as to how that one slipped through the proof-read!

Crutches or not, get him out he isn't ready.

Biggest Falcon I've seen!

 

[Sando22]

New Grimes I think. There's nothing flashy about what he does well so no one really thinks much of it, but we can all remember the mistakes.

I thought some of Bugg's ball use was horrific.

That early kick inboard happened right in front of me and wasn't great.

We haven't won next week yet..

Tom also copped a Falcon about 20 minutes later.

Sure did! Not to be outdone by his younger brother.

Can VDB spend more time forward and we played him instead of Frost?

VDB Watts Harmes
Kent Hogan Garlett

With Pedersen there as our utility

I looooove VDB. Great hands, great kick, tough.

There's probably some room for improvement there. Maybe we haven't yet seen BonnyDon's best work yet.

I'd gamble that we have.

Really starts to resemble an overcooked sausage when he's been running around for a bit. Superb, couldn't ask for more.

Watts to get off the chain and kick a bag this week IMO.
