The Bye did a job on Adelaide a couple of weeks ago and has seemingly scared the crap out of St Kilda, but I just think Melbourne have got better depth and class and will steamroll them. Tiwi Islands in for their first of the year, whether he will have an impact isn't known yet.

Got this from the BYE FC Web Page

For those not familar with the players.

The Bye

Booze Bus - Roams all over the ground, Used to stop playmakers

Couch - Tends to rest on his laurels. Used as a resting ruck

TV - On his day can tally big scores

Holiday - Takes the brunt of the workload

Relations with the Missus - Week to week proposition prone to have off games

On its day can blow a game apart

Studying - Reads the play well, not scared to get stuck in

Long drive - Roams all over the ground, tends to break down with injury

Partying - Likes to go hard early, lacks stamina

Footy Show - Talks up teammates will influence a result.

Radio Stint - 1st game back after a lay off , (suspended for abuse)

Twitter - Keeps getting brownlow votes , high possesion winner

Family Time - Underrated, keeps plugging away

Kids Classes - when on his game can score heavily, but tends to lose interest.

Facebook - racks up the stats, plays anywhere.

Relaxation - Drifts in and out of the game, often gets caught out napping

Friends - Front runner, wont be sighted if the going gets tough.

McDonalds - inside or outside player, has many tricks, one to watch.

Physio time - Big bodied, great tackler,likes to hurt the opposition

Work experience - relies to much on teammates to help, lucky to play (Computer did a hammy at training)

Remote Communities - Team player, capable of doing anything

Tiwi Islands - Stay at home forward, goal sneak

Sub: Sin Bin - Hard and tough, needs to curb his temper

So PS3 and X-Box have been dropped?

PS3 is still playing for the seconds, he's been terrible all season.

Xbox got hit with an illness - reports of red rings around his eyes.


We beat the bye by 90 points last week, but I think this week will be much harder, and whatever the result, our percentage won't change, which is a shame.

I just hope we dont get any injuries out of this weekend.

And I reckon if I dont pay close attention to Relations with the missus this week,

I might be in some doubt for a big one next Thursday night.

 

Twitter's the danger this week. CHF - has the form on the board. Awful amount of followers.


Twitter just let it slip Bye team may not lineup as selected

Wikipedia could be a late selection. Could be the only one that has all the answers to curb Jurrah.

Late news...

Myspace was looked at for the Bye but it appears he's on his last legs.

Talk of him being traded, sold or just taken apart....

I saw their reserves play last weekend against Sandringham. Fishing was looking good for a promotion until the wet weather came in and he looked lost at sea. I see he has been placed on the long term injury list after that nasty incident that saw him literally lose his tackle. Ouch!

popular favourite, Easter Eggs, is making a late run for selection for sundays game... there are concerns over his ability not to melt when the heat is on, however.

btw this is easily the best thread on here

Had Scully been fit he would have gone head to head with Partying in the centre. No doubt he wouldn't have been looking forward to it. Partying can be a close tag for many. Many have fell victim to Partying. There's been many instances where they really feel the pinch the next day.

Scully has had a much better record lining up on Booze Bus (who rotates with Partying), and each time has come through unscathed and the clean winner.


I reckon the AFL will try and merge North with Bye to reduce the number of Melbourne based clubs.

Gold Coast have the Bye in Round 9.

It can't come quick enough for the bye.

POTENTIAL EMERGENCY SWAP FOR BYE

Radio Stint might be on the way to be dropped. Up to replace him is either Movies or A Weekend At Home. Not sure which one is the bigger threat...

Fast and the Furious (5) is a smokie to come in on the wing, but i dont think we need to worry as he will only produce 90 mins of garbage.

btw this is easily the best thread on here

Zing!

This got me thinking, what was Bye like back in the early part of the 20th Century when there were only 11 clubs. I have done some research and found this team that was going around in the 1919 season

B: Waxing moustache/Smoking a pipe/Visiting seaside

HB: Sending telegram/Radiogram/Thrashing staff

C: Playing with hoop/Penny Farthing/Fisticuffs

HF: Starching/ Cod Liver oil/ Snuff

F: Visiting a Speakeasy/Motorcar/Talkie

19th Man: Morphine

20th Man: Billie Hughes

Interesting line up by todays standards but pretty competitive back in the day.

who is going to tag Moloney this weekend? surely Bail will get this job

Moloney's got a belated sus pension, this week. Seeing eye dog 'n' all.

 

The coach of the bye Cara Van Parke

just announced he might risk a fine and

select " dirty weekend' to add some muscle to the team,as a late inclusion.

Must be concerned using this ploy to try and put us off our game plan.

That must be why there are rumours of Bucks Night being selected floating around...

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    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?
