As much as people want change........( why I have no idea)

NO CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Please)

Why wouldn't you want change if you think that someone you rate in your best 22 is fit enough to return from injury?

In: Bartram

Out: Evans

(Please)

Because I'm not convinced he's ready yet. Otherwise, Yes.

Okay, but it's pretty clear why others might want a change, isn't it? You'd even want a change if you thought Bartram was fit.

Anyhow, go Dees.

I believe you were pretty adamant we would lose by 5 goals last week too...

Big step forward if we can win this one.

You are correct I predicted a loss,

Do no know about the "adamant " part.

Suggests I was ranting we had no hope.

Only my feeling rpfc that is what the site is about I thought.

I think the opponent is a big step up from Essendon.

They fixed up the bombers when Essendon was at full strength and playing well.

Even with their losses they look to good for this Dees team.

As I said I "hope I am wrong" .

I will get no joy at the MCG on monday enduring another Pies victory believe me.

Yep, Petterd/Bate/Evans emergencies for mine.

Jetta will surely play. Usually he's on the fringe but last week was close to his best game for the club. He was terrific.

I think so too, he is a goer.

On the disrespect aspect of resting Swan, personally i don't think its a big deal. In Collingwood's eyes if they lose big deal. Will still finish top 2 and get home finals. Looks like the top 4 will all be Victorian anyway so even 3 or 4 wouldn't matter.

Swan has been average lately, poor for his standards and the bigger picture is having him ready at the right time. They are probably better off finishing 8th and having him fit than top and missing the final series.

Leon Davis in the back pocket is interesting to me. Any ideas who we can play on him to exploit his lack of defence?

Surely Bennell would have him for speed but maybe petterd as he should to be strong overhead. Not too many other options i could see for the pies to put Davis on.

Only possible change should be Bartram for Evans.

Jones, Gawn and Jetta shouldn't be chances to be dropped. Bate and Petterd shouldn't be even remotely considered for selection.

I'd go with an unchanged line up, but I feel the FD loves Bartram a lot, and maybe will be wary of Brad Dick, who will surely play his one good game for the year against us.

I've got a feeling Petterd will get a game based on his excellent work as a defensive forward the last timr he played against the pies.

Got a feeling he would do quite well again too.

Did anyone see Lloyd's breakdown of the 10 best players in the match on The Game Plan?

He said normally we had 4 of the best 10, but this week we have 6 of the best 10.

But he had Trengove listed at 7 behind blokes like Sidebottom!

Funny, cos I've also had a feeling all week that this will be a match where Trengove really announces himself as a future (or even current) star.

Look for him to have a big big impact on Monday's match.

Thought you'd be better than that.

Bate might have played well against them too. So we play him as well?

Heck, Newton probably played well once, the next time we play that side too we should pick him.

Petterd is not in form. One good game for Casey does not change that. We had a functioning forward line last week, why in hell would we change that to include a player who doesn't deserve his spot?

Bartram has claims to come in, but I don't think that Bate or Petterd would add much, in their current form, to a forward line that manufactured 26 scoring shots from 45 Inside 50s.

I don't like the notion of 'Petterd played well last year, so he should come in.'

To me that just screams "I place way too much importance on games against Collingwood because I am willing to restrain logic and think that form has an 18 month use-by date."

Nicholson or Evans make way for Batram.

Just got a feeling in my bones titan! No rhyme or reason for it.

I know he's been out of form, and he definitely doesn't deserve a game over any of the guys from last week.

We'll see.

Kinda hope I'm wrong, because when players get dropped like he did, I really like to see them have to work their arse off to get back in the side.

If I was picking the side it'd be unchanged.

I dont quite understand why go to Arizona. If its for altitude training that suggests that Swann is lacking or able to top up on his aerobic capacity - which I dont think is at issue - is it? If its for injury recovery then high altitude isnt likely to make much difference and the trip over even in business class isnt helpful - lets hope the temptations of the drink trolley prevail.

Nah. Think Swan and his mates might be goin over to do a little community service or maybe some low altitude training instead! (see link below).....

If Bartram is 100%, he plays, and Evans will be the likely omission. A 90% Bartram should not be selected, and if this is the case, no change.

The clowns that said Jetta should come out for Petterd; I'm convinced you don't watch the game sometimes! He was very, very good last week. Look at it this way, what will Petterd bring to the team that Jetta wouldn't?

No change in my opinion. I see absolutely no reason why any player deserves to be dropped from last week. Bartram has only had two weeks off, and I reckon that since the boys filled in for him so well last week, then they should get the opportunity to see if they can raise the stakes. As for Jetta, well the fact that anyone even suggests he should be dropped after last week says enough about them to know their opinion should be ignored. Ludicrous.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
