Whats happening in the Ruck Dept? Is Spencer a likely 1st pick in future?

I honestly don't know who is Melbourne's preferred ruck at this stage. It seems Gawn is going to get a go for the next few weeks...

I reckon whoever is playing at the last month of the season for us, will be our number one.

Thanks Purple

Scorps with another close win - this time by 8 points  :)

Max King with a massive 5 goal performance in the seniors after playing Dev. League for the past few weeks

Harmes with 29 disposals so should be in line for a call up soon after a strong game last week as well

That's awesome news about both! Pleasantly surprised about King, but he was way overdue for a Casey senior call-up coz he was simply dominating the development league; it was just that two of Jamar, Spencer and Gawn were keeping him out.

But, to get his opportunity and get 5 goals?! Awesome!

And I love my little Harmsey  :)

Going into that match, I felt like it was a turning point this year. Having played terribly for the majority of the match... I say we haven't improved this year.

Sure, on the day, we might look a little better than last year.

But in the end, we're 3-8, and looking at another bottom 4 finish.

That is not improvement, or rather that's not good enough.

I can't stress how important this match was to me in terms of my general view of Melbourne. I won't go on coz we've all heard it repeatedly in the past 8 years, but please know that my respect, pride, expectations and outlook on Melbourne has DRASTICALLY changed.

you guys have improved the games are much closer this year then last year

least your not expecting to lose by 100 points every week

look at it like GWS

they went through phases

getting smashed every week
still losing but not getting smashed every week and some upset wins
now very competitive

Good first hitout for King up from the Development League. Hows those DT points for Bail and Jones though!?

[Purple 77]

Very much appreciate those stats :)

With Pedo bear out, I guess that means Dawes comes in  :( it looks like he had a pretty ordinary match.

Or, Spencer could come back in, and Gawn is played forward? Even though I don't want him to play forward, I more keen for Dawes to be left out

[Purple 77]

And go Harmes!

Pedo out for the year, Grimes 6-8 weeks and Newton concussed in the VFL


Reckon ANB could get another game this weekend boys? Would be flowering handy if he did

Yeh I figured he would get another game anyway, Michie to go first imo

Injury news is disappointing though, especially for Hunt who will only have 5 or so weeks at the end of the year to prove his worth before being delisted

Howe definitely moves to defence now though, perhaps Harmes to make a debut in that half-forward role?

[Barra13]

Yeah, injury list filling up  :-[

[GoLions]

Pls

I said "filling up", not "full".
