May always sticks to Naughton. Tomlinson has gone to JUH recently. They’ll have Lever on Lobb, or a smaller defender like McVee with Lever loose.

Is Pickett back next week? Dee’s have looked lifeless up forward.

He misses one more match.
I can't see how this Melbourne forward line could kick a winning score.
If Bev can’t get the boys primed to knock over this Dee side next week we’re just wasting everyone’s time again this year. They’re average AF.

Nope, 1 match ban and will play next week.
Since the fixtures came out I was glad as it meant a game where he wouldn’t try to kill one of our blokes, then the AFL came out with this opening round BS.
Buku would be ideal if he could, but that match up would really worry me. Probably Ed.

Fritsch worries me the most
Lock away him and Pickett and we win

I'd actually explore the same backline we used in the Hawks practice game, Jones as the big boy with a mixture of Coff/Buku/Ed floating as our mediums, considering the forward line that Melbourne have.
Bring JOD in when we have 2 real gorillas to attend with, no tall forward at Melbourne scares me.
Edit: After re-watching the game tonight, I'm fully confident that we can smash Melbourne.

I would consider leaving Buku out given they lack a genuine third tall and bringing in an extra ball user. Coffield and Ed can cover Fritsch but we’d need Buku in the following weeks.
Their forward line looked abysmal so they might try McDonald this week.
Yep, May has always gone to Naughton but will be interested to see if the plan is for Naughton to take him right up the ground.
I’d be surprised if Schache survives that game, he was no good. Dees had no aerial impact up forward. McDonald and Fullerton were both emergencies and I imagine one or both come in with Schache out.

Yeah Naughty is playing a lot higher at the moment so that will trouble May, if he’s playing deep on Marra we just have to get the ball into space and Marra can burn him, can’t be kicking to the contest much though.
Even tho their forwards suck I’d still want both Buku & JOD in, if we can play Buku loose off a crap opponent that’s a win for us. Jones to JVR, JOD to Schache, Buku/Coff can both have a crack at Fritsch with the other one chopping out the rest of the backline.

I suspect if their midfield get on top they'd be looking to attack through there. Viney looks like he's added goalkicking to his skillset and we know Trac is a goal kicker.
My mistake I misread the injury/suspension list on the afl website.
Fritsch and Pickett are always a concern, hopefully the shorter defence can get the job done.
I'd have Coffield on Fritsch
Jod on Schache/Fullerton
Jones on Van Rooyan
Richards on Pickett and making him Accountable on the rebound.
Buku intercepting and Dale rebounding.
According to the afl website we are correct

Nope, was a 1 match suspension. I'd suggest Melbourne saying 'Round 2' is just confusion as a result of the Round 0 crap and actually means their 2nd game of the season (being Round 1).
Dees star Pickett banned over bump that left Cripps bloodied

Presume we can add Bowey to that injury list too now after last night.
