Melbourne's disposal is worse than ours this season, much worse and they are off their bye. I say we jump them in the 1st and cash in on turnovers like Port did to us early.

Their disposal isn't there biggest issue. It's their defending, they play a zone really poorly and that's been there biggest downfall. Horribly out of position when defending.
They had been. Much better in the last couple of weeks. It might take a few for them to gel properly defensively given they have so many new faces playing together though.
Still think the bye is the biggest factor.
No changes unless injury.
I'd give anyone who had a down game a chance to lift next week. Some people just have down games after the bye.

Port took a bunch of marks inside forward 50 in the first 1/4, then hardly any after that.

I hope Switta comes up ok. Love what he brings to the team.
Plays his role extremely well. His attack and 1% play is incredible. Just needs to tidy up some stuff.
Not bothered that he doesn’t hit the scoreboard, but that would also be nice reward for effort.
without Tabs and Lobbe in the side, we need Cox's marking ability up front as no one else looks capable of taking a contested grab consistently up front. Its such a shame we lost those two as its going to bite us big time when the games become a contested one, especially potential finals. I would also not give up on McCarthy as the guy can kick a football in front of goal unlike Hogan and Cox. such a dilemma. So no change on that front atm. We are really heavily relying on our small forwards to kick a score. I would consider putting Fyfe more in the forward line if we can hold up in the middle. perhaps when Bennell and S.Hill can find some continuity, that could be more possible moving forward. Also I miss Sandilands's dominance, even as a 36 year old. If he fit in round 18 I would put him in straight away. Darcy competed well today but I prefer even Sandi without match fitness. He is classes above and the way Ross talks about him, I know he will put him in
I agree with you about Sandilands.
If we can make the finals , Sandilands could send us deep into the finals.

No unforced changes. Cerra to get some game time as an inside mid at peel
If Switter goes out, it’s a like for like. Schulz comes in. But Ross would be inclined to play Cerra anyway. Would be seriously undermanned defensive pressure wise
Melbourne’s biggest problem is between the ears.
I'd be against pulling Tucker out tbh, he's shown enough this year to be given the chance to bounce back from poor games.

Tucker had an absolute stinker. Missed easy targets all day. Wouldn’t drop him just yet though.

We can't play an underdone Shill and Bennell in the same side. Cerra in for Tucker.
Honest question, why? He is not playing midfield when he comes back for Freo. I am not against it, but I hardly think it is important that he plays full mid at Peel if he is down there. Better off getting touch in the role he would play for us.
I hope he does play midfield, but my main reason is that he doesn't seem to be imposing himself on games as much as I hoped and expected he would, and it may help. Once Mundy retires he should be playing midfield. If that transition happened next year with Mundy forward more that would work for me.
McCarthy would be worth a look this week (emergency on the w/end). Cox and Hogan played 95% TOG yesterday. That's huge. Indicates we're really reliant on those two being present. Having another player to kick it to would be ideal. Considering we played 9 defenders, we could always swing a defender out. We're carrying at least 1 too many.
Also, whist I'm looking at the TOG, Bewley had just 66%. That's green vest stuff.
If Switta doesn't come up Bennell may get a look. Hope he gets a game anyway.
Banfield BOG for Peel.
Interesting week coming up for the match committee.

Hughes for Cerra, he's been abysmal for weeks. Too slow, weak disposal and questionable decision making. Westhoff takes a mark over him and he had his arms out for a chest mark.
