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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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...

    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
