Re: Team v Dees
I wouldn't be surprised to see Gilbert play on Watts wherever he plays.
Watts is named in the forward line but plays much of the game as a 'link' between defence and attack. Gilbert is tall enough and fast enough to play on him wherever Watts is.
Hence no need for an extra 'tall' in our defence - Lee subsequently omitted.

+1 - I thought Tom Lee was one of the few genuine positives from last week against GWS. For the very first time - I got a faint feeling that we may not have entirely wasted out Goddard compo pick after all. Hope he kicks on now as a genuine 3rd tall back with Hugh & Jake. We sure as hell need his kicking skills out of the backline.
Go you red, black & white warriors

Will be great to have Gilbert's disposal skills in the backline. What a weapon.
For Melbourne.

Don't be a dick. Tony's little snippets always ring true (and there is only so much he can say). Obviously they want more midfield grunt with Acres and Gresham to mix it with Demons as that is a strength of theirs. Lee is the sacrificial tall this week.WellardSaint wrote:What a crock.tony74 wrote:Melbourne have played the same way the last 5 weeks and the three NAB cup games before that.

Lee was one of our better players after the first quarter last week.

Answer the question regarding Lee!

A mate of mine asked if he should trade Lee into his Fantasy team this week and I told him he wouldn't play despite a good performance, as we'd be carrying an extra tall. Don't need to be an 'insider' to work it out.
Having said that though, does Frost play CHF? Gilbert to Watts, Dempster/Fisher to Hogan/Frost?
Re: Team v Dees
Really simple game this one.
Win the battle of the midfield,and we can play Gresham on Hogan, they ain't going to kick a winning score.
We need to get right on top of Viney, Jones and Vince in particular, mitigate Gawn's influence, and we're sure to win.
Easier said than done, as Viney is having a blinding season. Gawn is clearly the best ruck in the comp after 6 rounds. Jones is a warrior equal to Armo, finally with some support. Vince can be very damaging pushing forward and is great hurting their way when doing a shut down.
Their backline is very suspect and I really think Paddy could've had a bit of an influence this week as McDonald and Dunn would have their hands well and truly full with Roo and Bruce. Not to be.
Anyway. Midfield is where it starts and ends.
