THE LAST TIME THEY MET

[Demonland 72,217]

The last time Melbourne played against the Western Bulldogs (on 29 June) they toyed with them for 3½ before putting the brakes on and allowing the Dogs to come back and almost win.

Since then the Dishlickers have come good while the Dees seem to have gone back into their shell. Can the team regain its confidence and get up to win?

DAWES probably won't play.GAWN won't be given another go.JAMAR may get a run.TAGGERET,TYNAN and BARRY won't play a senior match thou the club did guarantee a them a go.VINEY may be rested.FRAWLEY OR GARLAND will develop an injury(bull dustitis) and can't play.SELLAR will make a return.CLISBY cannot play as he is suspended.TERLICH will be sub.PEDERSEN will get a recall.TOUMPAS will be bench.FITZY WON'T PLAY.GILLIES will play.

THESE STUPID CHANGES WON'T GIVE US A WOODEN SPOON however if we try harder sorry I meant not try,last could happen......no.1 draft pick.

Let's appoint CRAIG as the coach,popular with the slack players.......no.1 draft picks for 2014,2015 and 2016. rebuild of a rebuild x 10. FIVE points will become the 18 things

we learnt followed by a manual based on how stupid we are.

If I read Craigs post match message correctly McDonald will be out for disciplinary reasons. Davis and Jetta in?
