Round 6
Last week
How sweet it is! Fantastic game, best footy played in years, best game ever and wonderful brand of football described the brilliant win over Brisbane! Where to start – Trengove’s skillful game rewarded with the Rising Star nomination for Round 5, Scully always at or near the ball, McKenzie, McDonald, and Moloney tackling their way to all be in the top 10 this season. A delight to watch, in fact the whole team is a delight to watch.
This week
Melbourne plays North at Docklands in the first game away from the MCG this year. Deservedly the same team that defeated Brisbane has been retained with Rivers, Bail and Spencer named as emergencies. However with Rivers, Strauss, Cheney, Miller and Newton all playing well at Casey and Bail available again after injury there was pressure on for a place in the 22. The depth that is so important to being a successful footy team is also there now with Morton, Watts, Wonaeamirri, Jurrah and Bell still to come back into the team. No doubt a rotation policy will also see other youngsters including McNamara, Jetta, Gysberts and Blease getting a run sometime soon!
