I come in peace

Did Hamling pull up OK after getting smashed in the ribs in the last quarter?
They haven't said anything yet, he did play out the rest of the game though so hopefully he's alright.

Alex Pearce and his broken thumb was the only injury they mentioned from the game.
 
With the midfield doing well against Adelaide and with A.Pearce out. What about Fyfe at CHB to also run through the midfield. He would be a beast there and plus his goal kicking ain't that great.

Ross did imply he might do that to give more experience to the next gen. I imagine his intercept marking may go alright.
 
Lachie “The Eagle” Reid wrong again. Johnno has accepted the ban.

Nah he just another west aussie who puts a WC slant on everything so he can reach a wider audience and get his next pay rise like the rest of em over here. Correct me if im not right but I always thought he was a demons supporter? But yes its another instance of him getting it wrong so lol.

He's a Melbourne supporter

Out: Walters (suspended), Pearce (broken thumb), Me (mate's 40th).
In: Fyfe (return from suspension), Hughes (return from Peel), an empty seat (return from potentially being sat in by my fat arse)
 
It'll more so be changes that need to be done, rather than forced changes on a winning team.

Fyfe > Walters
Hughes > Pearce

50/50s

Sandi > Jones

Although I hope we just rest Sandi until after the bye.
 
Based on the last game, Ballas has held his spot (for those saying drop him). Based on his general away form for close to 10 years, he should never play in Melbourne ever again. Therein lies the conundrum. However, this isn't a game of "how low can you go" on games played / average age, so he should probably stay, just to make sure we have more than just a handful of adults out there.

I think:

Out: Walters (susp), Pearce (inj :'()
In: Fyfe, Hughes (now that Johnson has deselected himself getting rubbed out in the WAFL).

Duman is unlucky, but he surrendered his spot to Nyhuis, who went on to play well, and Hughes had a good enough game at Peel to creep ahead of him. Also Ethan has slightly more experience.

I'd give Sandi another week off running up to the bye, and let Jones have another run. Sure he has his MANY limitations, but he has been going okay, so let him go, and Sandi can come back in for him in a couple of weeks.
 
Ross just said that Sandi is available to be selected this week, but also admitted that Apeness and Jones had done well in his absence.

Was hoping I’d get to see Jones run around at Etihad! Oh well, still happy we got to see his physical presence and what he offers at AFL level.

Geez, Carlton board are very confident of a win. Our away form looks bad but all of our away games have been against top 8 sides.

Carlton are a different beast, they have very few good players, a couple of promising kids and a whole lot of spuds. Didn't even realise Daisy Thomas was still playing!

Our midfield should comfortably win the clearance battle. Kruiser and Cripps are there only hope in the middle. As long as we lower our eyes on the weekend we should win comfortably.

It would be easy to get over confident after our last win but even before that when we were getting pantsed i pencilled this one in.

Honestly I do want Sandi to play. Kreuzer up and about at full steam is huge for Carlon and I want to get the win. Plus this:

Can we please please please play Sandi and Apeness and see how that looks?

The only other concern is Curnow with Pearce out.
