MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION

hes got you OD.. remarkably theres a logic...begrudgingly in what he says. Such is the way of Melbourne, nothing is ever straight forward....in fact its seldom forward !!!

[FC Melbourne 108]

Dunn out, McKenzie in to tag and Grimes to the backline could very well be on the cards next week.

I like the idea but we are screaming out for mids who can get the ball. Taking Grimes out of the middle and replacing him with McKenzie won't help.

If Viney and Grimes can rack up 20 each this week hopefully we may go some way towards lowering the heat on our defence. I'd then be more inclined to bring in Struass next week.

Did you watch last week? Stats don't mean much but he kicked 2 of our 4 goals! 50% of our major scores!

I think give the Byrnes out a rest this week. Unless you call for Davey out as well? We already have Kent and Blease in the team in the same role as Byrnes so we are developing some and it's not like Tapscott or Taggert are knocking the door down in the VFL.

It really shows our lack of players tm

You are correct in saying we have bugger all replacements, five players there and one has a faint chance of being AFL standard.

Bloody sad when a washed up Geelong player kicks half our score

Is anyone tipping us this wk?

Baring injury or rest I can't see Jordie getting back in the side this year.

A couple of weeks ago I thought we had a good chance but when you look at the way the lions have played the last couple of weeks against good teams I don't think we have a pray.

Less than an eight goal loss is the best I can see.

[beelzebub 23,383]

I reckon the Crocs have a good chance !!

Shite I hope we get closer than that o d.

I know the lions have been gong well but they have been inconsistent with form don't get me wrong I know we ain't killing it but I think it will be a 2-4 goal game.

[McQueen 17,867]

Don't mind the selections at all. Infact Viney to start as a sub would be the right thing to do.

Loving how Craigy is not changing up the team like Neeldy was this with making 6 changes every week.

Kent or Blease sub. Viney will start.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

I think we are a big chance in this game and the Lions know it! hoping Kent plays as sub, not sure he's up to full games yet, but viney may not have the match fitness yet

Baring injury or rest I can't see Jordie getting back in the side this year.

about time a coach realized he is next to useless at offence. Using Jordie is admitting defeat before the game even starts.

How does Byrnes get a game every week?

Why do we give a has been a game when we have numerous young guys we could be testing and giving experience?

If the guy made a meaningful contribution and helped the kids but he does bugger all.

He was one of our best players last week, I can understand people calling for him to be give the flick most of the time but not this week.

Put simply, if he hadn't played last week our score would have been two goals for four quarters. It was bad enough to get ourselves into the record book for a record low inside 50s [19] without us kicking our lowest score as well!

Is anyone tipping us this wk?

me. not confident at all with it though.

[Gippsland Dee 367]

Viney coming in for Nicho is defintely an upgrade for this wk. Hopefully Viney stays fit for th rest of the season

Is it just me or is anyone else happy Moloney's missing?

Don't think I could handle another BOG in the same year.

That says way more about our team that it does about Byrnes.

We truly are a basket case

Does being tempted count?

I reckon we're in with a shot this week. Paddle Pops will have to be below par though.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Full House of Jacks!

Full House + 1

I believe this is the first time all 5 Jacks have been in the same 22 (?)

[jazza 1,323]

last time we played them , we had enough of the pill but slaughtered it going through the middle

was hoping this time were better prepared to handle the corridor a bit better

The most amazing thing about our pre-season training in Darwin was how badly our marketing people managed the photo opportunities. Who was the genius who thought it would be a good idea to have a photo with players sitting in and on an army tank when the club was being investigated for alleged tanking?

Technically we were "tanking" then................... Just saying

Is anyone tipping us this wk?

I am

I do every week and have furious debate with fellow demon supporter who thinks tipping is about winning.

it does explain why he is near the top and I am near the bottom on the pubs ladder

I continue to tip the most advantageous results to get us near the top so far this strategy is not working
