Changes v Carlton: Dawes, Mckenzie for Byrnes and Fitz

[butters88]

Grimes deserves to go to Casey too... I said as much in the GDT. Point is his confidence is down and it affects his game, the bloke can win games off his own back when he is up and about, or he can be an average football player when he is down. How many articles have already been written about "Melbourne should have taken Nic Natanui over Jack Watts". Drop him to the 2nd's build his confidence back up and watch him tear them up like he did against the saints

After watching Carlton tonight, next week shall be dubbed the bruise free cup.

There's quite a contrast compared to what everyone thought of Watts in round one.

And by the way, I also missed the game but apparently Pedo played quite well which surprised me, can anyone enlighten me as to what contributed to his good performance?

Terlich is Bartram with less stopping ability but more dash. He's an admirable placeholder. He won't play in our possibly mythical future competitive side.

Thats just so wrong mate

Get your hand off it mate, you're the one calling for his head two weeks after signing his praises.

 

[PureFooty]

Geez the irony of this weeks game is laughable. Maybe they play for the Kruzer-Watts Trophy. With the winner getting the pleasure of offloading their 'prestigious talent'.

Yup and don't I look like a fool for that

I Just cant stand to watch another season like 12/13 again this year

I dont want to afford the players any more excuses its time to take control of there own games an individually make a difference
Jack Watts is one of many players who Im going to unload on this season, Jack Grimes is another who tomorow im going to hit with a massive stick

Why do you need to 'unload' on anyone?!

Positivity works wonders

If you can be positive about anything MFC right now mate I envy your ability to see gold in a pile of dog shit

Or some metaphor like that

 

[AllenJakovich13]

aim to kick over 10 goals this game

 

[PitchBlease]

Yeah, these changes threads are laughable but here it is.

Go for it.

I love this phrase. Can it please replace Demons as our aspirational team name?

I take great offense to that!

Wet noodles at dawn?

Ok but we all agree not to touch the hair

I was thinking based on the double negatives theory. The lack in skill execution, decision making, and pressure in both teams, would end up in a high pressure, high skill, high scoring match. I'm already excited about the Spencer v Warnock match up.

Warnock being one of the few players who can rival Spencer for worst kicking action in the league, Butcher being another.

Neeld said " I didn't see that comeing " = Shit coach ,has no clue .
Malthouse say's " I didn't see that comeing " = Poor Mick ,has inherited an over-rated list .

Is it me or are these post match press conference's a waste of time . The coaches only want to be there when they win , the journo's Questions are getting more stupid every week .

Everything has become so overmanaged and overscrutinised though that the coaches/players when answering questions just repeat all the lines about structure/taking chances/they just wanted it more/didn't see this coming/it's not how we trained etc. I didn't mind Roosy's presser last week as he didn't try and make excuses for the players and he acknowledged how woeful we are at the basics. But I agree, they're becoming pretty redundant and ultimately the journo's are going to spin their words however they want.

This is sadly, very correct. I woudlnt make too many changes this week - just depending on who is available (perhaps Jamar for Fitz, and perhaps even Garland).

Unless there was someone not setting up correctly, or not playing to plan that I couldnt notice (Terlich got a good bake, which surely wasnt for lack of effort) - I would keep it settled for another week.

McKenzie had a good game for Casey so he is another option.

 

[fushy]

Out: Bail, Jamar (if fit)

In: McKenzie, Fitz

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Harsh on the big Russian IMO.
