I am very interested to see how Hird approaches this game. Spent all his career as a student of Sheedy as have many of his assistants. Missed their first NAB games. I understand they are stacking their forward line with talls. Typical Sheedy tactic. I wonder also if special Sheedy style attention will be given to Jurrah and Watts or will they save it for later in the season?

The tough guy act? Don't think there are any. Lovett-Murray isn't playing, can't think of anyone else down back the might try ye ol rough up. Neagle is down there, but he'll be too busy trying to catch his breath.

    Fletcher is probably good for a trip/kick to the shin or two. Hardly intimidatory though.

    And Hurley only intimidates around Cab drivers.

    well it seems to me they are looking to win the match as much as they would a regular game, therefore whatever tactics are employed to achieve this should be appropriately respected

    I'm sure they are looking to win.

    But do they really care if Petterd tells Essendon he's not playing? No. Well, I would assume no, and I'd be surprised if indeed the FD was concerned with Ricky tweeting over a NAB Cup game.

    do you really think someone has asked for Bails for a 29 man squad and he said 'f--k it, who cares, stick Ricky in there, what does it matter' Bailey does not run things like that

    two possibilities:

    -RP is not fit (as he tweeted) and he has been inserted into the lineup simply to mess with Essendon's matchups OR

    -RP is indeed fit and the tweet is a red herring to mess with Essendon's matchups

    either way there is a deliberate ploy going on and not a drop of 'who cares' about it

    So this is the reason - you hexed us!

    Everyone calm down. RI hexed us.

    Phew! I knew that wasn't normal...

    You stop yourself next time, RI.

    With every negative comes a positive especially with AFL this time of the year. Next week we will get to see a stack of young players taking the field, I hope we get to see this either at Visy Park or Casey. With two games left in the preseason this third week is an ideal time to rest several players I wouldn't expect to see Jurrah, Green, Davey, Sylvia, Garland, Jamar, Trengove, Grimes and Rivers. In their place I am hoping to see Scully, Cook, Gawn, Aussie, McDonald, Blease, Gysberts, Tapscott, Petterd, if they are all available I would love to see us line up as

    Bartram Warnock Blease

    Strauss MacDonald Bail

    Bennell Scully Jetta

    Dunn Bate Petterd

    Tapscott Cook Aussie

    Spencer Jones Gysberts

    Moloney McDonald Gawn Howe Evans Maric

    Subs Watts Martin

    Sub Gawn and Bate or Dunn of at half time

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
