Weiters in, Ison out?

The Derk doesn't deserve to be dropped... Perhaps Weiters in, Ison back to the Magoos and The Derk up forward to replace Ison?
Derksen looks like he belongs and does not deserve to be dropped but he lacks a few inches against taller opponents. If Weiters is back, giving him a look up forward should be on the table as an option.

Liked Dean not taking crap from Greene, who is looking at a holiday if the MRO has any consistency at all.
I reckon Greene is all but out the door to the Cats- I posit that a few senior types at GWS aren't buying what's been sold.  They're a bazillion times better than losing at home to us by 4 goals (should have been 10).

Maybe give him one more week, but it's probably time for Ison to have a week or two back in the VFL.
Just as a developmental thing.
He's struggled a bit the last few weeks.
Let him go back and get a bit of confidence and a few possessions.

Me personally, I'm leaving him in. He (and Byrne, Dean) have something we have been lacking for years, kent.
Give them good long runs in the 1's I reckon, their confidence will come when given the challenge and having faith put on them. The team has grown in confidence and together, they have worked out how to get themselves out of the pickle they were in the first 7 or 8 rounds. Ison and Byrne need to dragged along in all that. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Just my opinion, its neither right, wrong or what the MC will do neccessarily.

Surely there is something there with Riley-  ok taps aren’t worth everything, but jeez that’s a lot of them,  if we can teach him to use the better, surely he could be a weapon.  A decent amount of touches as well.  There must be something there

Probably the only potential positive from that dreadful disappointment of a game. Yes, Moir got a lot of the aggot roaming around down back but a lot were easy possessions. Seems to want to be a mark and kick kinda guy, without wanting to put his body on the line? Undoubted skills, but endeavour still has a ?

5 in a row is some achievement.  I left Melbourne on may 30. 

The club needs to start talking to my employer and funding my overseas adventures.

Last time I went, was 2023 in June....
I went OS in June 2024, I watched us flog Rich on my phone  in Rome in front of the Colosseum. We were 2 or 3rd that stage. The day I landed back in Melb we played Haw and got knocked out of the 8.
I'm the reverse. When I travel we get the sh it kicked out of us....lol.

Weiters for derkson.

Moir for ison.

Those 2 play similar and possibly fighting for the same spot. They also seem to be up and down in terms of form at opposing times.
