Changes v Weagles

When Parish is fit where does he fit? - locked or logjam
Setterfield add to logjam

Watched the replay and thought he was putrid. Hopefully he won’t be in the leadership group for much longer

Kysaih kicked one goal on Roberts early and looked dangerous, but McGrath basically blanketed him the rest of the match.

I much prefer McGrath locking down opposition best small forward and Roberts being released more to make better decisions, disposals. We literally have no one else who can do his role (play on opposition best small forward) as good as he can.

Melb 1st goal, then the outmark in the 3rd.

2 goals on Roberts.

Thinking we will go with just one change - OUT: Bryan IN: 2MP
Kako to SUB. Team;-

Ridley McKay McGrath
Redman Reid Roberts
Duursma Shiel SEH
Martin Jones Gresham
2MP Caddy Menzie

Draper Durham Merrett

Bench: Setters Hobbs Perkins Prior
SUB: Kako

Playing Goldy allows Draper to spend more time developing his forward craft, gives 2MP more VFL time to find touch and might help Draper survive most of the season as (mostly) the no 1 ruck.

I’m not convinced Goldy can cover enough ground or last a full game but this is the week to find out.

The club loves him. No chance of him being dumped. Grooming him for the next captaincy unfortunately.

IN: Goldstein, LAV

I think Merrett has at least another 2 years as Captain.
McGrath will miss out.

Then the contenders likely are
Martin
Caldwell
Durham
all will be 25-26

If McGrath was made Captain, I’d have to quit Blitz.

McGrath would be my preferred captain.

Everything he does oozes Pick One and when things do go awry, he does speak so well in the media.

Probably our most important player.

I don’t think people have realised that Prior has been solid the past 2 games, and the back six is gelling together. Unless he completely reverts to the form of his first two games he won’t be dropped

I want Harley to come to Essendon so we can give it to Sam Mclure for saying “He’s not going to Essendon”

Because I already had ADW in the side, and Nguyen has more flexibility in position than most of those which is important in a sub. In the VFL matches I’ve seen Nguyen has been quite impressive in patches, so might suit the sub (shorter time) role. He brings pace to the side as well.

He’s been way better in the games I’ve seen than Davey or Laverde. Johnson is unlucky, but doesn’t have the positional flexibility. Hayes and Goldstein aren’t sub material.

Kako just has to front-and-centre to kick all of the goal.

That second one should have been a free to Robert’s. Farking Pickett took him out of the marking contest way too early.

Was McGrath on Pickett though? My memory memory was that Roberts was on him all of the game

I like your positivity.
