GAME DAY

Last time this year and the big question is whether the news of the possible appointment of Paul Roos will have an effect in the mindset of the players and turn what would otherwise be a non event into a game worth attending.

Also - good luck to Flash on a great career somewhat diminished by injury in the latter years.

 

I feel there is nothing that could make the MFC current team perform well.

But I would live to be proven wrong.

Can anybody calculate the required winning margin of GWS over the Suns to be able to pass us and leave us in last place

Now that would really finish the year on a great note and slightly improve our draft!

There are a few variables in the equation, the margin in our own game being one.

If we lost and held the margin to 8 goals (which is the line bet) and the GWSGs squeaked home (against the 7+ goal line) the Spoon result would be close to a dead-heat.


Anyone give us a sniff?

yep I do

Boys will be filled with purpose after their little chat with Mr Roos, thinking we will really come to play

especially Wattsy and Sylvia
 

Hoping for a win to take into preseason and 2 wins against the Doggies in an awful year.

Even though it's Sheeds' last game,they won't win and give us pick 1.

Against all reason, I still harbor an irrational man-love for Neville Jetta. Here's hoping he kicks 10 goals and has 50 possessions today. That way, he might just stay on our list next year.

I've spent Nev's whole career wanting more than anything for him to light up. As an MFC supporter, to have a kid who works really hard, is tough as nails turn and made entirely of the right stuff turn out to be no good just seems cruel, but alas, that's what we've got with him sadly.

Players will want to impress today. If Roos was at the 'G last night then he may well be watching closely at Etihad.

I am now expecting a hard fought close game.

A win would rock.

He will probably end up sub - if he has a really good game and we struggle to secure a small forward in the draft/trade then he just might keep his spot.

Really expected big things fro him this year but is walking on very thin ice. Who knows what we would be saying about him if he didn't get that 3 week suspension (just when his form was good).

Actually on paper our team looks capable of winning [but then again, that has been the tease all season]!

Not once this season (aside from GWS) have I thought our side looked capable of winning. The list is putrid


expect a bit more spring in their step today. I think the workrate and second efforts might up tempo.

its so much between the ears who really knows what outcome possible .

Think theyll try to go out with respect and not a whimper now.

go dees

A comment from a true believer.

However I no longer this team can achieve anything.

I still can not understand how the team won two games.

With the lead that the Suns have over GWS at the moment, no matter what the result for us today our ladder position will remain second last.


No changes to either side. Tappy the sub.

I don't get why they listed that interchange for Melbourne? Do they change it from Fridays?

Sunday, September 1

Western Bulldogs v Melbourne at Etihad Stadium, 4.40pm

NO LATE CHANGES

FINAL INTERCHANGES

Western Bulldogs: Jarrad Grant, Matthew Boyd, Easton Wood

Substitute: Koby Stevens

Melbourne: Jimmy Toumpas, Colin Sylvia, Matt Jones

Substitute: Luke Tapscott

Really hope Jimmy Toumpas, Dean Kent and Jack Trengove continue good form, would love them to have good games today and momentum going into huge pre seasons under the Roos program

Fridays is just something to get it down on paper. The 22 don't have to start in their allotted positions. Pre-game the interchange must be the commencing bench for the start of the match.

 

NC on fox.

Geez he speaks well without feeling like u r being sold a second hand car.

Will be a loss to the MFC if he leaves.

Thanks - Sylvia should start on the ground (need all the big senior bodies out there from the bounce)

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
