playing and having enough impact to end our season...?

He'd get destroyed by English

He'd get destroyed by English

Not if he's playing FF. That's where North used him with Goldstein rucking. Tom Campbell, 4 marks, 4 disposals, 3.1... we lose by under 2 goals... won't happen though. ..........

Not sure he plays or perhaps it is a send off game. He'd be far from our concern, which will be Melksham and Pickett

 

[Unorth]

Least number of comments on team selection all year! Is that a good thing?

This is the problem with “extended bench” team selections for Sunday games. I have to hold my melt in an extra couple of days.

Don’t forget our history of sh*tting the bed in the late rounds of the season to miss the finals:

We were robbed in that one

If he does I will be suggesting the Majak Daw medal gets renamed

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Look at the Dees talls in the backline McDonald and Turner, we should be winning this one with match up on Sam and Astro without looking nay further.

Bev:

“We certainly won’t be going down the track of everything’s do or die.

“Melbourne is a very good, contested side. They’re a very threatening stoppage team, and we rate them pretty highly.

“The expected versus actuals have them winning more games than us at the moment. They’ve left some scores out there with their opportunities up front.

“They’ve had a lot of inside 50s over the journey, so no one can take the Demons lightly, let alone us.”

God I was so mad about that flop from White. Skipper did nothing wrong

 

[Foxman98]

No change confirmed

 

[Doggies7]

No changes, surprising VDM survived another week with no impact as the sub and obviously needing a full game at this point.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Would’ve loved Davidson back in but hard to change a winning side.

 

[Doggies7]

Maybe Freijah or Garcia start as sub this week, surely VDM won't be again...

 

[Norm De Guerre]

And here I was sitting here on tenterhooks waiting for the final squad to be named.

The clubs playing some pretty high level 4D chess with these initiatives.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Maybe Freijah or Garcia start as sub this week, surely VDM won't be again...

All part of VDM’s grand plan. To be a horrible sub so he doesn’t get comfortable there.

 

[Foxman98]

Still no takers?

My other favourite one is Sunday teams named by Friday but if you have a Monday game you don't get anything until the Sunday

Just really odd procedures

 

[MaxiBont]

Would’ve loved Davidson back in but hard to change a winning side.

Baker’s had two good games, hard to drop him.

I’d still prefer Davidson but can’t complain too much with Baker playing well.

 

[Foxman98]

Once Harmes wasn't coming in we were unlikely to make any changes

 

[fargy]

I can’t believe there weren’t any changes! Any decent team would have beat the Giants by double what we did last week. Bont and Darcy need a spell in the twos. Vandermeer needs to be captain, asap. Bevo needs to be sacked and replaced with Goodwin/Hinkley/Voss as co-coaches before the game Sunday or I’m melting my digital membership.

Massive game for Cleary - does he take Pickett?

 

[DueWest]

Maybe Freijah or Garcia start as sub this week, surely VDM won't be again...

How has he actually earned at full game ? Crap for weeks on and then not effective as sub two weeks in a row.

 

[BigFloppa]

Im outraged by these lack of changes. We have a two time premiership defender who should be in the side.

 

[Doggies7]

How has he actually earned at full game ? Crap for weeks on and then not effective as sub two weeks in a row.

Absolutely hasn't but just playing someone 4-5 quarters total over 3 weeks or whatever it has been doesn't make sense either. Needs a full game either way...

He does need to start this week (or play VFL).

Vanders was also having a fantastic first half of the season and everyone was singing his praises. He's definitely had a run of poor games since though.
