Don't rest anyone it's cocky. Unless it's Butler or Ellis as they get injured a lot.

Watched the game again and Ellis was awesome. I think there were two incidents in the first that clouded my judgement for the rest of the game but he was epic.

I want Butler back, he has more than earnt his spot. Yeo/Rosa to the middle, Butler down black. Selwood out. Not sure who to sub.

Schoey may be an out if he's pulled a glute but if it's a corky should be fine.



Ps: are you kidding nima?
Gaff is A grade.
 
disagree about some opinions on Gaff, he is probably our best and most consistent mid atm.
he has been building since the last half of last season, is 22 y/o and just keeps getting better. alot of opposition posters worry about Gaff and how to deal with him.
 
Can see Melbourne using similar tactics as essendon but using an actual ruck man - crowd the stoppages and push numbers behind the ball so it will be an ugly game in typical Paul food fashion. The man is anti-attractive football and the sooner he and his disciples are out of AFL the better

It's a fine line - I agree with that "resting" players to freshen them up is cocky and we aren't that strong a side that we can afford to do that. On the other hand we shouldn't be selecting players that are genuinely sore and risking exacerbating the problem

Melbourne wont score more than 40 pts then
 
Resting players is crap, they all get a rest this week. McGovern had a cork, he will be 100% next game. These guys are not going to war they are playing sport for a living. They are young and fit. This is what they do.
As for the calls of Sinclair out for Lycett? You would have to be mad to do that. Sinclair is playing his role well and in my view has been impressive this year. He rucks well as the second ruckman, he is strong at the ball in packs and brings the ball to ground, his attack can't be questioned. Reckon he is ticking many boxes for the MC.
 
Tough to see how to squeeze Butler back in but I think he needs to, for team balance if nothing else.

Selwood won't be dropped. Duggan might, as furious as that would make me (and everyone else here). Output has dropped off in the past few weeks and didn't have much impact as the sub, so the match committee might send him back to the WAFL for a bit as they did with Gaff in his first year.

Out: Duggan :)mad:)
In: Butler

B: Butler, Schofield, Sheppard
HB: Hurn, McGovern, Wellingham
C: Gaff, Priddis, Yeo
HF: LeCras, Darling, Masten
F: Hill, Kennedy, Sinclair
R: Naitanui, Sheed, Shuey
I: Ellis, Selwood, Cripps
S: Rosa
E: McInnes, Duggan, Hutchings (travelling emergency)

Duggan and Nelson to get a run with East Perth.

Would like Barrass to get a debut at some point in the near future but I don't think a slippery game in Darwin against the Dees is the right time.

Talk about a confidence booster if they get over the line at Kardinia park.
Is that like the confidence Richmond got from beating freo?

I always prefer our next opponent to win the week before we play them. Always
 
Dees 5 goals up at Simmonds Stadium. We won't have an easy game in Darwin. A danger game, i think, going on this showing.

I think this result says more about Geelong than it does Melbourne.

We'll be fine.

Hoping the Dees get a bit overconfident from this game and dont play well in Darwin. Have to remember that this is their best win in years. Doubtful that they can back it up.
