I think we need as many midfielders as possible so Bode, Bell and Valenti should play. I don't know why Carroll is named in front of Frawley who has been in the best 2 weeks in a row. I can't see a match up for Martin and we can't play 3 ruckman so White should not come in, so Newton hopefully takes the last spot on the bench.

Whether u like it or not, as I said last week, White will play..

Im hoping for:

White, Newton, Martin, Valenti..

BELL, what has he done 2 deserve a recall?? nothing, some of u guys desperately over rate him, hes done nothinbg but turn over the pill this year, he makes bad decisions and adds nothing!!

Id be astounded and aggrivated if he played, but he wont, so all is well..

IN: White, Morton

OUT: Davey, McLean (inj)

Quite simply, DB hasn't played the others much, if at all, for the whole season. Would love to see the bench that the majority of you want, but it will not happen.

It's been mentioned a couple of times that there is no match up for Martin. Could we turn this to our advantage and have him in a more offensive role? Has he played much footy in attack? I've only seen him the once which was last game.

I would say Minson is surely the match up for Martin?

They are going into this game with Street, Minson and Hudson.

Martin will be very valuable for us.

and We need white back

Whether u like it or not, as I said last week, White will play..

why?

our ruck division performed reasonably without him. we havnt dropped either ruckmen (they are both named on the ground). white didnt dominate at sandy.

he may be recalled, but i cant see a presing reason. we dont need 3 ruckmen, especially not against the dogs.

What's everyone's thoughts on the result this week?

I'll happily take a 4 goal loss at Telstra!

I'm with Dean Bailey when he said some weeks ago “There's no point in turning up next week if we think we can't win the game,”

Also, when we played them last we were the better team for the first quarter and should have led at the first change. The Doggies were awful in that first quarter, we pressured them and they fumbled, made simple mistakes and looked at stages like amateurs. The big difference with them now is their confidence is up. Yes we did capitulate and that is part and parcel of a young team.

I remain optimistic cos I firmly believe we have the best coach & coaches, the best CEO, the best President, the best Football Operations man and some of the best young talent coming through of any team and when they learn to turn it on look out!

Dees by 3 in a nail biter (would be more but for umpiring gifts)

IMO WHITE won't play as 2 other ruckmen are selected as starters.

BODE has been given the last 4 games and I think he'll go back to the magoos for more development.

Can't imagine MARTIN and VALENTI missing out ofter only 1 game back. They need game time.

CARROLL is probably only named as a backline emergency this time.

I think BELL makes it in as a stronger body against hard bodied opposition.

The bench may be BELL, MARTIN, VALENTI, NEWTON as most of you have already suggested.

Bode needs to be delisted. He is rubbish and will never make the grade.

Looking forward to Morton returning. Hopefully his confidence is up and he has a great game.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
