Review Changes vs Swans - AVB, Pickett, Hannan, Hibberd OUT - ANB, Fritsch, Harmes, Smith IN

[mrmonkey]

I thought we should have cut Jones last year but 5 years is a ridiculous stretch.

Was it 2017 where he missed a month because of a quad injury? I remember that being a big out.

Paul Roos in 2015: Jonesy, well done on your third BnF, but you're sacked.

Cazaly Stadium in Cairns will be the 11th venue where a game for premiership points has been played between Melbourne and Sydney/South Melbourne, and only the 2nd venue outside of NSW and VIC, with the other being Manuka Oval in Canberra. It will be the 35th venue Melbourne has played at for premiership points and the 36th venue for Sydney/South Melbourne.

Good luck on Thursday!

Would have a helluva campaigner to sack on him BnF night and not tell him about it during the exit interviews

 

[HANDSOLO]

Spot on

Thanks Blitz! How is Perth these days

Out Hibberd, in Lockhart for me.

Hibberd out

Probably opens the door for Lockhart. Would prefer to just see Fritsch back and some shuffling around of other players.

I want Fritsch back (in the side) too. Frustrating how he doesn't execute his chances consistently but I still can't help but feel that one day it will all just click, even if for one glorious game, and he'll kick a huge bag.

Out Hibberd and Omac

In Lockhart and Fritsch.

Not sure if Harmes comes back in or Bennell. Maybe a couple more players get a rest.

 

[Scythe94]

If you're bringing in Fritsch, might as well bring in Bennell just to stand next to him and take his shots when he marks inside 50 a la Adelaide game.

 

[Headless]

IN: Harmes, Neal-Bullen, Fritsch, Smith
OUT: Hibberd (inj.), Hannan, vandenBerg, Pickett

Please let Harmes play mid/forward.

 

[The Dr]

Geez we’re going in tall!! May, Lever, O Mac, Tomlinson, Smith picked

I’m guessing May plays on Papley? And Smith forward?

Yep ... so obviously Harmes goes straight to the backline, Smith plays forward.

 

[blitznu]

Harmes named forward hopefully the campaigner plays there. lose alot of pressure for 3 crabs

Thanks Blitz! How is Perth these days

was looking around for wtf this had to do with me. then I realised ya ****ed in the head and got some conspiracy theory going on

 

[blitznu]

yay Jones survived cause we owe him so much

 

[pineapple dee]

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think Spargo may have played his last game for the club.
Bloke's an absolute dud, he's a (very) small forward, but he has not had a single tackle inside 50 the last two games and only 2 from his 5 games this year. Compared to kozzy, who has 12 for the year at an average of 1.1, which is above average. If you are playing in the forward line, you have to apply pressure which he is not doing, no wonder that the dogs were able to waltz out of their backline so easily. Charlie, it's time for you to (Spar) go

Ok Spargo has his faults which we've all seen but in the last quarter against the saints he locked Wilkie in a fierce tackle and put enough acid on Hill and Jones to force turnovers. In a game of inches these efforts were bloody important. Spargo will never set the AFL world on fire but to call him an absolute dud is wrong.

Should still be captain IMO.

Joel Smith and Wagner playing

That is very concerning

ANB...

Wonder if Harmes actually plays in his position now?
