Preview Preview/Changes - Round 4 v West Coast at Optus

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Ridiculous to drop Jordon and keep Sparrow IMO, that’s not selection based on merit.

Not surprising to see another tall in to replace Brown.

Looks like Melk will be gifted another week of sub

 

[Lampers]

TMac and kozzy in for brown Jordon (omitted) Melksham (omitted). Jesus Jordon is stiff imo

I’d suggest Jordon a victim of last-in-first-out.

These changes allow Melbourne to have the same number of talls as they did against Sydney.

 

[Daemon]

Urgh, TMac.

 

[Lord Nev]

I like Jordon and thought he had a good game last week - only thing I can think of as a reason for him being dropped is his disposal. Went at 66% last week, which isn't horribly bad, but it's definitely not good. Rivers has been through a similar thing previously where he was repeatedly sent back to Casey to work on his disposal, so I wonder if it's something similar?

life didn't even last a week, predictably.

Jordon incredibly stiff

 

[The Dr]

JJ was actually really impressive last week.

T Mac =

Jesus. JJ stiff. Won't make a difference either way, but he deserved to keep his spot. Hopefully he's sub.

TMac is a big meh. All we can hope for is he finds some form. Maybe that means Petty goes back to cover Allen. May on Darling, Petty on Allen. It's gonna be about matchups in regards to Petty going forward or back.

 

[jhong]

If it was me I’d have sent Melksham back to Casey to
get a full game into him . Just knew when coach blew smoke up T-Macs arse he’d be brought in .

 

[Dancing Potato]

Ugh TMac.

He'll either stink it up again while moving like the Titanic, or look better against a WAFL team than he actually is and end up keeping his spot for several weeks on that basis.

Either way I don't like it.

Goody really does back his senior players all the way in, can be very frustrating sometimes.

The Titomac.

TMac actually has a pretty good record against West Coast, scoring 5, 3, 0, 2, 4 in his last five games against them. Jordon really unlucky though - I read that he's put off contract talks till the end of the season, and this probably isn't going to make him any more likely to re-sign.

Incidentally, I just noticed that we have the best winning percentage of any team in the league at Optus stadium, including Freo and WC.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Good read by me Tulip where is my "you were right I was wrong" ?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

And * you Goody.

 

[Bluelegs]

Tmac probably going to kick 4 against the WAFL Eagles too.

Brown back in next week JVR dropped after he only kicks 1, "He needs to work on some things still" ... can absolutely see it.

 

[Bluelegs]

JJ surely plays as sub

His natural position.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Best our forward line has looked since 2021 because we went smaller and mobile. So what do we do to further improve that?

Bring Tmac in.

It actually makes no difference because petty will go back.

Brown was in our forwardline for 2 and a half quarters in fairness.

Someone needed to fill Ben Brown's 1 goal and nothing else then subbed off role from last week. #goodylogic

Going with the logic that Brown doing nothing brought JVR into the game.

Game was fun last week but thats not how we want it looking like. Need more opposition intercept marks and ball ups in our forward 50, both of them are far more important than goals.

I thought that was a lolly. Luckily touching the emoji told me that it was actually DNA or that would have been embarrassing.
