    There are some, umm, interesting? comments on this thread.

    Is it possible that a 10 goal win over Fremantle has gone to our heads? :rolleyes:

    We will not beat Carlton. They are too focused right now. Top 4 in their sights. Bailey shouldnt have to do much if any 'experimentation' to ensure a loss. (I have to admit though, that hoping to lose against the likes of Sydney, Richmond and North is one thing, a difficult thing to do in itself. But hoping to lose to Carlton is going to take a whole different level of commitment. Going to have to seriously bite my tongue. Hard work but it is what it is. Just get it done.)

    And we will not beat StKilda. They will make a mess of us. They will be tuning up for finals with their only home and away hitout on the MCG. They will be up and climbing through the gears. The only good thing about this game will be that the season is finally over. That's about all.

    Exactly. Or even simpler:

    We will not beat Carlton. They are 5th for a reason.

    We will not beat StKilda. They are 1st for a reason.

    The question that interests me is whether the team listed below would be a real chance of knocking off Carlton:

    FF: Wonaemirri Jurrah Maric

    CHF: Morton Bate Petterd

    C: Davey Sylvia Green

    CHB: Bruce Garland Frawley

    FB: Rivers Warnock Bennell

    Foll: Jamar McLean Grimes

    Int: Jones Moloney Martin McDonald

    Are we that far away from being competitive with a top 4 contender with the best of the 2009 list?

    Add Watts, Blease, Strauss, Scully, Trengove in the near future . . . you get the gist.

    Exciting times.

    I don't think I could physically get to the game this weekend. The idea of wanting to see Carlton fans smiling at full time makes me ill.

    Is the affect of the farewell games for wheats, whelan and robbo a concern? Suppose not even that could get us over the line against St Kilda but its a slight worry.

    No.

    That should be covered by experiementation. And St Kilda's loss to the Dons should be the pre finals spike they needed.

    I agree, Stranga, especially if St Kilda rest a few champions who may have niggles, eg Riewoldt,Hayes and Kozzi.

    I know it's highly unlikely, but another win would be such a calamity.

    Rhino thinks I'm a moron for worrying, but I can't help it.

    St.Kilda won't be resting much at all Round 22. They might want to go into the first week of the finals with as close to an unchanged line up as possible from the Round 22 line-up. They've already rested their stars.

    My only concern with the Carlton game is that they are very one dimensional. If we manage to shut down Fevola they are very capable of falling in a heap. Perhaps we should rest Jurrah and Bate as a precaution? Bring Zomer up to fill in the gap in the forward fifty and we'd be about set I think.

    I'm sure no team has thought of this plan before.

    Beleive it or not - Carlton have won games with Fevola kicking 0 goals this year.

    Their not as one dimensional as you think - given they have a midfield of goal kickers also.

    Judd, Murphy, Gibbs, Stevens, Houlihan, Simpson, etc.. will be a handful for us i'm guessing. It's not like we're playing Richmond again people.. :lol:

    I would imagine that the boys ( those left standing ) could have a red hot go and still probably fall short of a win. Thats just where we are now...next year...thats a whole new ball game ;)

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
