    No surprises. Hope to see Chris Johnson get another game

    Bench should be: Frawley, CJ, Morton and Valenti.

    I want to see Whelan in the side, but can't justify dropping the other 4.

    Valenti against Sydney seems a good fit, plus he deserves another chance.

    Out: Yze

    i missed the game last week but a few around here thought yze played well?

    Now we just need the Sandy team released so we can work it out for ourselves, they have been doing us a favour the last few weeks.

    I agree, Valenti would be handy against Sydney who are big on stoppages.

    Agree Jaded - seems as though I was one of the few who was disappointed at Adem's performance at critical points under pressure on Sunday. Let's find out what SV can do with a couple of games.

    Yze made a trip up to do some work with school kids. Either it's really poor planning by the club to expose kids to a bloke that isn't going to play or.....

    Or they are trying to get value for money out of his contract ;)

    I really hope they drop him. I've had enough of his selfishness and laziness. It goes against everything Bailey is trying to teach the younger players.

    Your right Jaded, he's to slow & not hungry enough for todays footy, but ATM we're short on goal kickers.

    How does Yze improve this? :unsure:

  • Quote

    I wouldnt call Yze slow... i kno he aint lightning but slow is a bit rich! I think one of his qualities is he is quick on the lead n in general play he's relatively elusive, doesnt get caught with the ball often

    I know man. But Garland has showed me anything's possible. If he plays rubbish every game for the rest of the year then we can make a finite judgement. But both Garland and DB have given me faith that anything is possible if you try to be the best you can be.

    Bode will probably play.

    Which isn't a shocking decision, may as well see if he can do a Garland.

    Frawley out, there isn't a match up for him bar O'Keefe and he will be dominant.

    I was going to say Valenti will be suited to Sydney shut down game style, but they have changed that. They are both shut down and free running, so I just want him to play. Him and Wonaeamirri could be some of our few good stories out of the year.

    Match ups.

    Warnock on Hall

    Garland on Magic

    Whelan on O'Keefe

    Whelan on O'Keefe

    O'Keefe is in red hot form and will probably make a meal of Whelan with his hard running. An in-form Bell is the perfect match-up but considering he is unavailable I expect Bartram or Bode to get the task.

  • Quote

    Barty will probably get the job, I hope he has a cracker, imagine he locks O'Keefe out of the game, his confidence will go skyhigh.

    o'keefe is a tough match up. he is very strong overhead. i dont know if either bode or bartram would get the job due to this.

    O'Keefe is decptively tall at 188cm and is way stronger than Barty. Will throw him around, if Bartram is on O'keefe I will be astonished.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
