We've been playing more kids for a fair chunk of the year. And I'm not sure any side gas ever gone down the tanking path half a game out of the 8 with 5 rounds to go. Not saying I don't agree with you, just saying the club's aim is finals.
Surely we're at the stage now where we plan for next year and play more kids?
What id like to see:
In: Gawn, Howes, Sestan, K Brown, Billings
Out: Turner, Salem, Sparrow, Bowey, Oliver

Should absolutely be Tholstrup; Ollie Sestan (123k fwd) also a chance.
Knowing Goodwin though, he'll probably just play Oliver/Viney/Sparrow at every centre bounce.
But yeah, in all seriousness, I'd expect both of those guys to get a crack.
It's so hard to actually name a full side for 2 weeks time. There are players that need to come out that can’t, just because we don’t have anyone else to bring in!
I also dont like making wholesale changes week to week, but here’s my crack at it..
B: Bowey May Lever
HB: Rivers Petty McVee
C...
Yeah can agree on that. Sparrow isn't setting the world on fire, but I hardly think he's been poor either, and certainly not enough so to deserve the weekly whippings on here. Find it bizarre he's been picked out given he's just a B/C grader, and that's all he's ever been anyway.
I'm definitely...
Personally don't have much of an opinion on Sparrow's game, barely noticed him. If he did his job that's fine but then you'd have to say that much like Oliver he's only just hitting a pass mark. The question then is whether he's the best player for his position. I think it would be worth...
Few thoughts,
It does look like Kozzy is finally getting the midfield time we have asked for. I've also seen ANB floating through there which I've liked. Get Rivers and Windsor in there to play receiver a bit more and I'll be happy.
JVR coming back in with a nice bag. Once again he thrives...
Out: Lever, Brown, Billings, Oliver (sub)
In: Woey, JVR, Langdon
Move Petty back. When Lever is fit, it's either Petty or TMac out.
Controversially I'm sick of gifting Oliver games. Either drop him or make him sub. Give his midfield minutes to Sparrow who I think gets a bad rap around here -...
Good chance of another 123k forward rookie making a debut for Melbourne this week – OliverSestan. Big-bodied half-forward/mid. Andy Moniz-Wakefield (also a 123k forward) isn't far off either, but he plays the seagull HBF role which could be handy.
Annoying bye, however.
Tend to agree now. Unfortunately the optimism has faded. We've got enough of a sample size this year to show that last year was our final chance at it with this list and this coach. Dip for 2 years, trade out some players with worth, lose the Dead wood, grab a different coach with a more...
Surely the Petty experiment up forward ends today!? Brown never plays again at AFL level. Although we've all said that multiple times! Tmac looks cooked now too. Solid start to the year, but last two weeks he's looked gassed, Happy to play the kids now. Get some debut's happening. I want to see...
Will never happen but I’d like to see Petty go back to defence. Salem, Oliver, Billings, Sparrow, BBB dropped.
Rivers, ANB, Pickett, Woewodin, Windsor with Petracca in small bursts in the guts.
A smaller and more dynamic forward line.
Sestan, K Brown and Verrall blooded.
B: McVee - May -...
HF: Chandler JVR/Petty ANB/Hunter/Tholstrup/Sestan
FF: Pickett Petracca Frtisch
Goody: "Turner out for Brown, Billings out for Laurie please. Also, I cant wait to rush back Salo for someone as soon as Selwyn gives me the green light"
HF: Oliver Brown ANB
FF: JVR Petty Fritsch
Agree he is what he is, I don't judge him too harshly in that context - However, my suggestion was taking Oliver out to get his finger right, putting Sparrow full time in the middle, and bringing in Sestan (or Brown or Tholstrup) to have a crack at Sparrow's usual role.
Would have potentially...
Yep, I get they probably don’t want to go ‘too’ young but I’m not sure we can tolerate form like this from Sparrow if we are actually trying to have selection integrity. I get they’re backing Oliver because he’s a star player but what has Sparrow done to earn so much good will?
