As ordinary as many of us think he is, I think Sellar will need to stay in this week to cover Vickery when he goes forward. Tom McDonald is still a couple of weeks away, and with Frawley to Riewoldt and Garland to McGuane (possibly) someone is gonna have to cover Vickery, most likely Sellar.

I'm fine with Sellar playing while McDonald is out, I reckon he's shown a bit as a KPD and is surely a better option than Gillies or Davis, or indeed Watts in the back half for that matter. As you say, he should take Vickery on Sunday.

Anyway, good to see Magner elevated... Reckon he comes in for Bail.

Agree with this. He shows and adds much more to the side as a KPD than anywhere else on the ground. Is sound cover for an injured McDonald.

Spencer shouldn't play this week. Sounds as though Jamar is ready to return and Gawn is certainly well ahead of Spencer right now so he should miss out.

Magner will almost certainly come into the side as well.

Jetta in the back pocket, am i correct in thinking this is the first time we have had a genuine crumber in the back line this year? Can not be stuffed going back through the lists to check but i can't reacall any
 
Out. : Sylvia
The $400 k a year man Davey. Free up some dollars man and go at the end of this year...please.
Sellar
Spencer
Byrnes....what a dud this bloke is proving to be.

in. Any 5 spuds from Casey.We can't do any worse.

Why the hatred of byrnes? He seems to be one of our better players this year much better than pedo or rodan. Yeah sure he is probably taking up a fair chunk of our salary cap but compared to 75% of our players he seems to be worth it.

Admittedly i'm only going of what limited time i have seen melbourne play and reading his stats but his season averages are damn close to his career averages and he is doing it in a side that would make garry ablett look mediocre
 
Still no Fitzpatrick. Neeld, if you're not going to reward good form at a time when you have a bunch of plodders plodding it out on the field then you can GAGF.

Good to see Magner back.

Fitzy is an interesting one, no doubt. On one hand he has been in good form and, like him or not, it's hard to argue that he doesn't deserve a run in the side. But on the other hand one thing we have been terrible at is defensive pressure, and you can assume that Neeld wants to go in with Dawes and the resting ruckman as the tall targets, with some of the mid to small guys at their feet for the crumbs and pressure.

Or Neeld just doesn't rate him. Whatever the reason is, though, is not clear.

Go Falcons. :thumbsu:

A significant problem we have regardless of who is brought in is so many of our players who have shown they are capable AFL footballers in the past appear to have been undeveloped. McKenzie for me is a prime example. Was a good tagger and could win the ball but now looks like a slow spud. Until there is a complete change of football department structure we really are just rearranging deck chairs.
 
Lol no chance :p Packers > 49ers > Seahawks :p
Come back to me when the Pack have an O-line...

Hawks and Niners are around equal at the top, then the Falcons with an offence comparable to the GSOT, then the Pack. IMO of course.

And of course, Melbourne makes me sympathise with Cleveland sports fans...

Byrnes was in the bogs against GWS and Brisbane then hurt his wrist/hand in the game against Carlton. Succumbed to the injury this week. Give him a break mate.
 
Thats what i was saying, byrnes is one of the best picks we have gotten this year and even if he doesn't kick a bajillion goals this year and single handedly carry the dees to the flag, his on field leadership maturity and presence should rub off onto the rest of them

Yeah he has actually been pretty solid. Good pick up.
