What options do they have though? Maybe KK, Garlett and Stretch to add a bit of polish/pace, but overall they’re not very good players. It would be great if they played all of Viney, Lewis and Jones again.
I think Melbourne’s biggest issue right now is their midfield is one paced and they play such unaccountable football. As soon as the ball is on the outside they get completely torched. Add in the fact their two key defenders are Oscar McDonald and Sam Frost and they are in real strife when the ball comes in fast. They desperately need Lever and May in their side. Even Vandenberg is underrated. He tackles hard and actually works his backside off when they don’t have the ball.
I remember being worried last year that Melbourne would bounce back after getting thumped by Hawthorn the week before we played them. They didn’t. I’d much rather run into them when they’re horribly out of form. When they’re brimming with confidence they can be a very good side.
