I think some people have it out for Dunn, he was excellent on Brennan last night.

Each week he has a new role and considering he is getting a game he is doing his job.

bingo. Playing really well on his opponents each week and did well in the ruck this week.

McIntosh, Hale, Goldstein. Martin will play.

Agree. Hale and Goldstein can be a handful going forward.

In - Rivers

Out - Bruce

well I've just watched the replay--all but the first 10 minutes. In another topic I've seen reference to poor ball handling by Bruce last Saturday. It must have been all in that first 10 minutes!

In all that I watched Bruce made 1 error. On the outer wing he passed over to Trengove with a kick that got too high

and was punched away. He made no other error by foot or hand in the 100 minutes I saw.

He was responsible for 2 goals, one, to Sylvia, when Bruce took a poor pass to him, virtually on the half volley and got it to Sylvia who kicked a nice goal in the 2nd quarter. His handling of the ball fetched an intake of breath by Tony Shaw-it was so good.

Any suggestion that he be dropped could only be made in bad faith!

B - Garland Frawley Warnock

HB - Grimes Rivers MacDonald

C - Davey Moloney Trengove

HF - Scully Green Bate

F - Petterd Sylvia Martin

R - Jamar McDonald Jones

IC - Bartram Bennell Dunn McKenzie

Rivers is in the best 22 and I think he is a better option than Garland to help the side get the 4 points on Saturday against North. It doesn't mean that Rivers is the better long term option, but I think the 4 points is important enough to justify a change.

In - Rivers

Out - Garland

Bail deserves to regain his spot but pending injury there is no obvious vacancy. He will need to be patient and show us what he's made of for the Scorp's.

The good news is our arguments have changed from why blokes should be dropped to why blokes shouldn't be dropped. What a fantastic and somewhat unique development!

No change for mine, I would love to see Rivers and Bail back, but I can't remove anyone for them to replace.

One fantastic thing that might be flying under the radar is how great it is to have almost the same 22 play together for a few weeks.

Injuries have been bad for us over the last couple of years, being unable to have the same blokes on the park has hurt us and consistency in the lineup will probably lead to a lot of improvement very quickly. Exciting!

Why don't you just put your old screen name in a signature, Y_M? You're STILL the only one bleating on about Bruce, years after you started.

As for the side I'm surprised nobody else has called for Bennell's head. Not that I WANT him gone, he was desperately unlucky on the weekend in a number of cases, but he's also probably the least "successful" in the side.

Tough beng a dee at the moment.

Why does Bail need to show us what "he's made of" when he has already shown us at AFL level already?

Fighting to get back in a successful team after injury is part of footy. Has he experienced that scenario in his career thus far???

Proving he can maintain the work rate and motivational level required at VFL level to force his way back into the red and blue is a form of 'showing us what he's made of', and a valuable lesson for a young player forging himself a reputation.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
