Good changes. Colyer a bit stiff tho imo

 

[beev]

Good changes. Like for like.

 

[Chambo]

Three good ins, possibly Colyer a bit stiff...where does he stand right now? Seems to be one of the first to go out each week...would rather have seen Trav stay and Melksham go back to the two's for a couple of weeks. I have been all over Pears this year but why are they playing him if that knee is suspect? Hopefully he can have a week or two off to get it sorted.

 

[Burzum]

Good changes.

 

[Doss]

I feel Melksham is a bit lucky to have got a reprieve. Was putrid last week.

 

[Kong]

Colyer stiff, especially with Melksham retaining his spot.

Good changes, otherwise.

Hooker's an upgrade on Pears
Myers' an upgrade on NLM
Heppell's an upgrade (though a completely different player) on Colyer

 

[pazza]

Melksham is a lucky bastard.

Myers is an interesting one. On the back of 1 VFL game where he was good without being outstanding, he gets recalled. One wonders how Reimers, who has a bit more on the form front for Bendigo, must be feeling about that.

What is to the Pears thing? Did he get injured last week? If he did, why was allowed to remain on the ground?

Lovett-Murray not named in the Bendigo line-up to play Coburg on Sunday too (see elsewhere). interesting.

 

[Macca18]

It's amazing what as little as 3 changes can do to our side. We look much stronger, in my opinion.

It's a good Etihad Stadium team - if you know what I mean. I think both clubs match up well against each other and both could go in with a fair degree of confidence.

 

[Burzum]

I hope in Myers' case he's named to play as another big body clearance player.

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Prefer we made room for Colyer or Reimers. Melksham was dire. Other than that, the changes are solid.

S_20 mentioned this morning that Pears was injured in the 1st quarter.

 

[Macca18]

I've been waiting for a few weeks now for Melksham to respond. I reckon this will be the game, whatever the final result.

 

[Chambo]

I don't quite believe this...it was extremely disappointing how easily Garland threw him out of the way in the goal square...if it is his knee, he missed weeks earlier in the year...thought TRB weren't going to risk players or play guys that weren't 100%?

Melksham is a tad lucky, but he's pretty good at winning his own ball and we need that against the Swans. I'm happy to give him one last chance.

Myers is a good in as it allows another big body while Jobe goes forward. Pazza where are you getting the Bendigo team lists from? I can't find it.

 

[Jaymin]

Not sure who would be the sub? You'd think it would be out of Monfries, Melksham, Dyson or Myers.

Already up on Bomberblitz and was up before the senior team was announced.

 

[raskolnikov]

Melksham must be Hirdy's love child.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Melksham better get 40 touches and 3 goals. Very lucky.

 

[beev]

NLM has a knock or something along those lines. Apparently only a one weeker.

 

[Johnny619]

* off Melksham haters!

 

[raskolnikov]

fornicate off Melksham haters!

I don't think anyone hates Melksham. But you can't deny he's been horrible the last few weeks.

 

[Tassieboy]

fornicate off Melksham haters!

You want to fornicate with Melksham, aye?

Have seen very little of Myers in recent times but, like Pears, there seems to be a fair amount of man-love for him here on the board. What's the deal? What's he bring to the team that makes him an upgrade on NLM this season? I know he's a bigger body, but so is Pears - and he got pantsed last week.
