Recent form for The Bye has not been as good, with Collingwood getting up. The question is whether Melbourne can turn it around - The Bye's recent addition to their forwardline in Rollercoaster has been sensational in his debut season.

I have no doubt the blowtorch will get the Dees over the bye this week.

If there is any concern Striker, it's the spine the bye has. The concern is partying with the missus on the couch with Twitter & Facebook could be a recipe for disaster. It's something some of our players might be accustomed to and yet, have struggled to come to terms with.

We did this already.

Not funny anymore, sorry.

....wow! Read frequently but post very infrequently. Was compelled to write this time though as was astounded that a fellow Dees suppourter would say such a stupidly arrogant and pompous thing.

If you don't like it, fair enough. Just don't read it. And if you feel this way, why waste your time writing about it??? Geez...

Most importantly, why would you tear someone someone else down for making the effort and having some harmless fun.... ridiculuous.

For what its worth, I hadn't seen it before and thought it was a reasonable go.

I know these aren't usually the way they line up, but there's some interesting match ups to keep track of.

Rivers on Twitter should be interesting - a number of the boys have wanted to play on him throughout the year.

Moloney on Party Time could be a little controversial.

Trenners gets an overdue run on the Footy Show and, I'm sure people will read a lot into this, Scully is on Holiday.

Wattsy gets it on with the missus, whilst the old boy Green gets Physio and Jurrah is on the Booze Bus.

Blease looks like a really good match for Work Experience.

My money's on the bye, but I think we'll bounce back and [censored] Port.

Disagree. Any humour round here is funny given how negative the forum can be!

Take it for what it is.

Just rpfc expressing his opinion, that means the rest of us are wrong

Relations with the Missus is very elusive these days.

Come on RP give us a chuckle..

I thought mine regarding the spine was at least worth a miniscule chuckle.

I'll just assume rp skimmed my post.

Fortunately Gawn has missed this game. The last time he played a Round of Golf, he lost the frick'n plot. Poor 3Wood.

On a serious note, I can't believe Bobby Petterd has been omitted. Should be a ashamed of yourself Striker475.

we have a bye in rnd 16

Last time I missed bloody Martin too. Always end up in that situation.

Admittedly, it's freaking hard to pick a 22 right now!
