One sequence epitomised Joel Mac in the 2nd game on Saturday.

Granted the conditions were greasy, but he dropped an absolute sitter, then fought like hell to get it back, and broke away with the footy, bombed it forward, and in the end I think it may have led to Sylvia's goal.

Problem is, he shouldn't have dropped the mark in the first place.

OUT: whoever needs a rest IN: whoever needs a game

Strangely enough it was his dropped mark and then fight to regain the ball against 2 opponents that set up the winning goal against Brisbane, I think he gets a rough deal on here, I think his biggest

I thought that Clark was being rested. Yeah, this isn't a great start to the praccy games.

Joel McDonald plays well for 95% of the game but is prone for 5% of the game to have brainfades that cost us a goal or two. Tentative may not be the right word as his attack on the ball and man I think is good however he is definitely prone to being hesitant in his decision making at times.

I saw Adrian Anderson saying on 360 that we get some huge amount fo inclusions at half time if we want them. Did I hear that right?

That was right for last week (allowed up to 12). This week its 18 starters + 2 interchange + 2 subs. Then at half time you are allowed to swap in 4 new players.

So with this 4 new players at half time, surely the 2 subs are worthless. But it seems like the afl are just making it different for the sake of it.

My lineup would be.

Bartram - Frawley - Garland

MacDonald - McDonald - Grimes*

Nicho - Couch - Jones

Sylvia - Watts - Howe

Davey - Clark - Blease

R: Martin - Magner - Bate

I: Petterd - Tynan

S: Bail - Sellar

Swap: Green - Rivers - Moloney - Jamar

With that in mind we should see Watts deeper forward with Martin and Tom McDonald. Selection is becoming easy an fit player gets a game.

Just stated on SEN that Moloney, Clark and Grimes will all miss the Pies games due to injury. FFS!!!!!

I was annoyed I couldn't go to this game because of a wedding - but with our omissions and by the sounds of the team that the Pies will have in, we should get pumped.

Hope some youngsters get something out of it.

According to SEN, Clark pulled up with a sore knee. Not playing due to precautionary reasons. Beamer pulled up with general soreness. Trengove has a sore leg and is 1 week away, and Tappy has a sore hip and is also a week away. They also spoke about Jurrah, nothing to add here with what has already been said.

I get the feeling the Hawks game will be the full strength hit out before round one. This week will about maintaining structures, particulary defense and having a look at new and fringe players.

Isn't he also carrying some kind of injury or recovering from an op?

I wasn't actually sure myself so I thought I'd put it out there but you're right he was coming back from something, not in the injury list but he may still be unavailable.

And according to Mark Neeld our coach he said in his presser that it was Mitch Clarks turn to have a rest - nothing about an injury.

So you believe what coaching staff say about injured players......

And do you believe what SEN have to say???

I know who I'd believe out of the two.

Sorry but I do not agree with you.

Coaching staff have a reason to play down injuries and there are volumes of their recorded lies.

The media has a bent to find the truth and show they are providing the audience with the actual situation.

past records would be firmly in the "media's" favour.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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
