Simpson confident he'll play.

I get the impression West Coast will err on the side of risk, as they are despearte to start 3-0 before a tough encounter V Geelong at Simmonds.

I disagree BBP why risk him when they can win this game with one leg in the air.

This the ideal week to rest players who are 95% ready

They can win this game by 10+ goals without too much effort

As Roos said, the most basic philosophy is you need to kick more points than your opponent. That does not mean you need to score 10, 15, 20 goals. Do people not remember Sydney's premiership and flyi

LW I thought you had demanded a new name for Pedo as it brings back inappropriate memories for some in the religious orders?

We were not expecting to win this ever with our best team, it would obviously have been wonderful if we did, but it isnt going to happen. Best we can hope for is a good showing by the team doing the things Roo's has been teaching them and working on their game plan, etc using this as a practice match, which could be advantageous given we seem to play better in practice matches than real games.

You don't think we did on the weekend? Or you just don't trust us against better opposition?

Four quarters against the Saints is once thing, doing it against a team that can punish quickly is another. I want to see us competing for longer against teams like that.

FWIW I think the style Roos wants us to play will suit us more on the G anyway, but we will be working with no forward line again so we need to play smart, competitively, and unlike last week, take our chances.

I know what I've indulged in so am retiring for the night. Having a brazillian tomorrow. A prayer or 2 might be helpful Lord.

Should make things easier to find

Will be a litmus test for this "new" Melbourne. Lets see how the Roos inspired list handle a caning.

Im serious. Will they wilt of old or keep to their task even whilst being turned into fertliser.

Im intrigued.

Funny how this season still runs to a familiar course.

It will be turn over capital city on Sunday. The Dogs are a more polished side than we are and the Eagles pressured them heavily by hunting in packs, forcing the Dogs into dishing the ball out to a team mate with no chance of clearing it.

Imagine how our boys will fair?

Eagles by at least 12 goals.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    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
