Team for Melbourne

[hoogs]

Parker Haddrill Hayden
Dodd Mundy Schammer
Ibbotson Crowley Peake
Dunn Campbell Gilmore
Drum Murphy Collard

R: Warnock
Cook
McManus

I: Browne
Webster
Duffield
Foster

Parker for his last game
Cook to play so he can reach his 150.
Mundy to play at CHB. Make him contest for the last couple of games.
Murphy to play, to up his trade value. Use him as first option and get him a bag of six.
Haddrill, Dunn and Browne are fit again and should be given a run.
Foster and Ibbo deserve some game time after great WAFL seasons. Get them a proper taste before next year where they should play a greater role.
13 ins and outs. Will never happen, but would love to see.

Pretty sure Parker is injured.

Mundy isnt a CHB and never will be, why play him there? May as well chuck him in the ruck...

No Pavlich?
No Headland?
No Haselby?
No Bell?
No J.Carr?
No Mcpharlin?
No Grover?

I'm all for trying out the youngsters but you've gone over the top. Way over the top. Seriously.

This season has been dissapointing enough without having to see us lose our last home game by 50 points to the team sitting second last on the ladder.

Time to try a few things. 2 games left and no chance of playing finals in 2007. Lets look at a few guys in different positions and see how they go. Some guys will be playing for their FFC careers.

FB: Hayden Grover Dodd

HB: Johnson Murphy Thornton

C: Tarrant Dunn Black

HF: Drum Pavlich Solomon

FF: Farmer McPharlin Hasleby

Ruck: Warnock, J. Carr, Bell

Interchange: Haddrill, Foster, Cook, McManus

McManus and Cook to have a final game in front of the Fremantle home crowd. They deserve a send off.

Murphy has done absolutely nothing up forward this season. The re-signing of Campbell I think shows FFC like what Campbell has to offer more so than Murphy. Try the guy at Centre Half Back on David Neitz, see how he goes, it may save him from being traded.

Bring in Ryley Dunn while he is injury free, the guy can obviously play. Was BOG for East Freo on the weekend. Throw him into the middle and give him game time.

Foster to come in again. Loved his game all year in the WAFL, nice debut as well a couple of weeks ago. Will definately be here next year on senior list but play him now.

Drum we know can play so play him.

Throw tarrant up on a wing. He has the motor to run all day. His field kicking is in the top few at the club. Not sure what happens we he gets close to goals but yeah take him up the ground as the link man coming out of the backline. Peake and co can get the handball recieved off him.

Edited...
I originally had Haddrill in the side to play the last 2 games of the year but I somehow forgot to include the inform Gilmore so Haddrill doesnt get a gig unfortunately.

pistol17, no Gilmore? Although I'm guessing he may of been replaced by our second Pavlich, fair swap i reckon

Dunn should definately play the next 2 games, along with Foster. Would be nice to have another look at Ibbo and Collard one more time also (maybe next week). Duffield may also be included given his WAFL performance on the weekend.

I think Webster is a chance for selection also, he is another one of the 'playing for his future' guys i feel.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression Haddrill had decided to retire from AFL footy. He'll be 27 next year not sure if the club would want too offer him a new contract.

I like your thinking

 

[hoogs]

I like your thinking

lol, fully!

Seriously though, would you consider playing Pav in the backline. I've been saying all year that once we sign him, we should consider playing him at CHB. I know we could get more out of him at CHF, but we are not holding up back there and the benefit that he would give to the team by playing there and having a player like Campbell at CHF, might help the all round team structure.

You saw a view to the future V saints with Pabv spending more time at centre bouncedowns and then pushing forward - Jimmy Hird style.

When you have the best CHF in the game you don't put him at CHB. Our backline is one of the better backlines in the league its our midfield that is making them look bad. Not much your backmen can do when the ball comes down their that often.
