St Kilda vs Melbourne Round 11

Reckon ANB could have a chance of holding next week? or a few to come back in?

All depends how this week goes.

Essentially the ones missing from best 22 would be Frost (5 weeks), Salem (1 week), Kent (5 weeks) and vandenBerg (TBC). You could maybe put Dawes in there for the 22. At this stage I don't want him back in the team. He is playing at Casey this week. JKH is also round the best 22 listed at 5 weeks, although seems to have fallen out of touch recently with form/coach.

I think Salem is now 4-6 after injuring other hammy

VandenBerg I heard was out for a month but could be wrong

So, apparently Roos didn't like Fitzy's tunnel-ball move :P

So, no one to replace Garland huh? Actually, I suppose Grimes will play on the small CG would play on.

Stretch or ANB to continue our rising star streak!

You heard it here first!

Yeah it's hard to say. Really depends on what happens this week. Although, he has shown good form for a while now at Casey, he could very well be rewarded with a stint in the AFL.

Fitzy's mistake was shocking but I thought he played alright overall. Didn't really hear a peep out of Jesse White all day

Hickey is out for St. Kilda though so Fitzy probably needed to go for team balance

And yeh Grimes seems to be the Garland replacement - Albeit a much worse version :(

He should definitely stay for a few weeks - Has proven that he can match it with the bigger bodies in the VFL and was even doing it last year in the SANFL (averaged 20 disposal or so)

He is competing with guys like Matt Jones/Newton/Riley for a spot so as long as he chases, tackles and wins the ball he should keep getting games

Well, I ate my words. Neal-Bullen to debut this weekend. Good luck to him.

He'll be fine. One of my favourites of last years draft, guttered to see him picked just before our next pick. But i'm happy with Lonie.

Bad luck guys, just heart breaking

Big Mac · June 14, 2015, 08:05:45 PM

Well that was disappointing.

In all seriousness we shouldn't have lost that game. But, to be fair I thought St Kilda were on top of us for most of the game. The Dees backline held up really well and stopped a big score from St Kilda but just couldn't get it going the other way.

Side note: Even though it was Toumpas best game for the Dees, he still flowering frustrates me at times.
