Changes v the Toiges

[Deefence]

I think the Bench will be: Bruce Jones Johnson and either Trengove or Morton

OUT:

Aussie: Bennell and other small forwards can do this job in the side at the moment
Miller: No chance

I would love to see both trengove and morton in but i cant see bailey dropping the exp bruce, jones who has been in good form and Johnson as Jamars back up who has been in some ok form of late

 

[rhaz]

FINAL TEAM

Out: Jones, Morton
In: Trengove, Moloney


two great in's, two interesting outs. i feel sorry for Jones, he loves the club so much but i just have this feeling he may not be seeing a lot of time in a melbourne guernsey in the years to come

 

[Timmy Houlihan]

Jones had 25 Posessions last week probably unlucky to miss but two great ins

I think we might still see Jones in the years to come - when McDonald was out they seemed to make Jones our number one tagger, so assuming McDonald retires at the end of this season I think we could see Jones back in the team in a run with role.

Jones is unlucky as he played his best game in a while last week so is really paying for the weeks before when he failed to star. Moloney takes his spot though which is fair enough. Trengove takes Morton's spot on the wing. I'm sure they are looking for a more physical, powerful and decisive game from Cale. He certainly hasn't been soft but you get the feeling he hasn't mastered how to really give 110%.

But I like that they made the tough decisions in dropping Jones and Morton and keeping in the forwards and therefore the speed and defensive pressure they provide. I don't think PJ was ever really a chance to be dropped.

can someone on here please tell dez that his jokes about miller dying aren't funny and never were? would be greatly appreciated.

What jokes?

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

i think JOnes will be a good player... remember his 08 form? he will come good, he is just having a couple of patchy seasons, remember Sylvia...

 

[melbournemartin]

What did Jones do to deserve being dropped? I'd have dropped Wona before him.

 

[melbournemartin]

But then again, we've brought in 2 midfielders and dropped Morton who's a utility. Maybe Jones needed to go.

 

[Ageing Demon]

Gee I think Jones is very stiff. I thought he was far from the worst last week. Perhaps he is injured!
Interesting to see if he plays for Casey.
I think Aussie, LJ and Bennell are very luck, I was in Brisbane last weekend and thought all of that trio were well behind Jones.
Is there someting going on with Morton that we do not know about?
Again I thought he was ahead of the previous mentioned Trio.
Perhaps its just that for the first time in years we have a problem of fitting them all in. I hope so.

Can't drop our entire forward line to accommodate Jones, he was dropped for team balance.

Drop 2 midfielders and bring in 2 midfielders.

 

[DemonUnderdogs]

I think Jones is injured. Watching the game last Saturday night, he was interviewed after the game and was very sore. Possibly he did not pass a late fitness test????!!!

Gee I hope we smash the Tigers!!!

i 100% agree with you, Dez's hatred for and deathwishes against Miller are concerning and even borderline psychotic imo..

i think mite be too, could hardly walk at the end of our last game..

Spot on!

Other people:
Your talking complete garbage if you think it was for team balance. Jones put his body on the line when game was there to be won. Got injured from it in interview said he had never had cramp in his groins like that. Turns out it was propably a strain. Jonesy like beama and J-Mac are the heart of the footy club and there is no one else that deserves through pure hardness to line up for the Red and Blue then Nathan jones.

Saying that Bail deserves to be in over Jones, thats crap.

Respect your observation, but it appears Jonesy has cracked it, no tweet for awhile, He will be back soon & there is still one training session to go, so all is not lost for him this week...

 

[Deefolt]

I suspect injury as well, he was in career (so far) best form against the swannies and seemed to back it up against the lions. Even afl site questioned it. They also did a very odd thing... only mentioned moloney RIIIIIIGHT at the end lol

Cheers,
and rightfully so if he has cracked it from being dropped. S'pose could be pissed that he didn't pass a fitness test. Shows the player really frustrated that the couldn't what he loves in being apart of a courageous club.

Bay 13 trolling aside.

Maybe they did their research.

Our backline is always exposed by small forwards. It's a big weakness. Players like Betts, Milne, etc constantly tear us a new one. Perhaps why they dropped Jones, Morton and left in Wonna. I expect we will lose. Your team is better on paper, we're experimenting with some kids, Cotchin and Foley (our 2 best mids) are also out and we don't have the depth to cover them. We're a year or 2 behind you guys in development and it will probably be a similar result to earlier in the year. Good luck.

Is Nathan Foley even alive? Haven't seen him play in a while. What's the injury?

Had an ankle injury and was able to play a few games but stopped as he would pull up really sore afterwards so he went onto LTI to have surgery and clean up whats wrong with it or something.

You would think so. If it's pissing down on Sunday then Jones has to in for Johnson, it wouldn't make sense to have 2 rucks in wet conditions IMO.

Jones is very stiff, he was a lot better against Brisbane than he was the 2 weeks prior to that. Hopefully this has the desired effect and makes sure that everyone knows that have to play well week in and week out to keep their spot.
