Obviously injuries, young list, losing etc make it difficult, and this post is in no way me having a crack at bailey, but by my records he has never uttered the words 'no change' when the team is announced, and this will be his 31st game in charge.

This week we are very strong, however id imagine Jamar and Bartram may come back in next week for saints game, and i think watts will come in for queens birthday game.

So which round will we go in unchanged?

My guess is round 12 v Essendon.

Id put my money on 'no change' not appearing this year.

Far too many players that we need to rotate, so we can determine who stays and who goes come seasons end.

I would consider it a major step in the non-tanking direction for us to go into round 2 next year with an unchanged lineup. Injuries aside, it would be nice to have a list of footballers that can afford a few passengers... rather than a list of passengers that are screaming out for some footballers.

There's always changes because we've got a lot of young players fighting for their spots, and their form waxes and wanes - not to mention our horrid run with injuries.

Once our best side is settled and we're playing consistently good footy, we'll start seeing fewer changes.

Have a look in the Friday papers and you'll find that 'No Change' rarely appears any more. Most teams have a change or two either in bringing a good player back or rotating through youngsters.

I couldn't really care less if we didn't have an unchanged line up at all this year, provided that the players who should be playing, are playing.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
