Who gives a rats if we get one-week suspensions this week? We're going to lose next week anyway.

I want Mitch Robinson knocked out.

I want blood.

I want Lynden Dunn to snipe for the fun of it.

I want Bull to run over a few Carlton players a la Savage, Shaw.

I want Carlton's sub activated by the end of the first quarter.

Nice VENT, now go and have a soothing Hot Chocolate....Leave the Team Tactics to Mr Viney this week.

He has just put his balls on the line....

forgive me for them wanting to show something after last week and Carlton labelling us bruise-free earlier this year?

Point taken, but i would prefer to see scoreboard pressure....a win keeps us in the hunt for September.

I'm with the intent of your OP striker, however I'd prefer we don't lose players, but to see the boys playing with real [censored] would make me smile. We know Bull can run blokes down, we know Dunn can be a right pain in the arse, and we know Trenners and Jordie can drive a bloke into the earth with a great tackle. I'll accept all of that, but there's no reason for us to be scumbags like the mob we're about to play.

What would hurt Carlton the most is being crushed by a passionate and hard team that are willing to give anything for the red and blue. And as supporters we should except nothing less.

Correct. The Jumper that Chris Judd should have chosen, but didn't.

I also like the intent of the OP. I agree with what everyone else has said too. BUT remember Hawthorn's "unsociable football" - it just might take a couple to cross the line once or twice in order that the whole team spends most of the game just 'this' side of the line. When an opposition player lines up against Brown, Robinson, Hodge etc... and they have to wait under a high ball, there is something inside their head saying, "I might get cleaned up here. I've seen him do it before..." and there's a chance they don't go as hard. Look at half of our team as an example of this effect!

Watching Viney's full press conference i have no doubt that he has read the riot act to the players about their hunger to win the contested ball. At a bare minimum i expect to see a really hard fierce competitive effort on Saturday, regardless of whether we win or lose...

Totally agree that we will see some good contested footy.

It will be very interesting to see the changes to the team. Im tipping the dees for a win and keeping our final hopes alive,

I really wouldn't think thuggish tactics or the reading of the riot act are necessary in these circumstances. The way that events unfolded in the past week should be enough if they have pride in themselves. However, with a tough no nonsense bloke like Todd Viney at the helm I doubt we're going to see players shirking issues if they want to be in the side the following week.

I will be more interested in how the team is set up. I expect it will be a lot different to the past and further, that the uncertainty on this will cause some issues at Carlton.

While I agree with Rhino's point that this is a pretty dumb thread and that mindless violence is not the answer, secretly I hope points 1, 2 and 3 all come together in the one act. Losing Lynden Dunn for the rest of the season through suspension for knocking out Mitch Robinson would put me in a happy place.

100% correct, but we never seem to get this do we?

I don't necessarily want blood. But I get what your saying Striker. When a club comes out and calls says you play bruise free football it's embarrassing. Time for some of the playing group to step up and play some hard football. Just do it legally.

He has done nothing of the sort. He doesn't want to coach full time. He's helping out.

You are wrong.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
