  • Hahahaha so BA absolutely reluctantly selects Sanders to the team but still refuses to select him at halfback, doubling down on his decision to select Brown at halfback !! 

    You can't make this shit up ! 

    • Naming them at 6 or 7 does not make much difference I feel. 

      • AND THATS THE F..ING POINT !!!!! 

        Everyone knows that Brown is a 5/8 and Sanders can only play half. If the idea is to just play Sanders as the halfback why wouldn't you just name them there ??????

        No. This is Brad Arthur just doubling down and giving everyone the big middle finger saying I'm the coach and that's that. 

        Damn I'm so over this bloke. 

        • Your overthinking it mate. Just chill.

          • No mate - sick and tired of the mind games. 

        • Wow

           

          • Kapow

        • If we watch his highlights Sanders does actually play well in the 5/8 role. And he is left footed so he is less likely to kick across his body risking a charge down.

           

        • Agree 

          can never admit he may have a change in thinking .....

          really stubborn 

           

      • If it is not much why not name Sanders at 7? People say it's just a number we'll swap them then?

"The rules allow these blowouts. Playing with 12 for 20mins, 6 against, most on 4th or 5th tackle. No team can come back from that, especially when a team as good as Melbourne have 10 and 12 tackle sets. Playing catch up footy just compounded the…"
