    Might as well throw in Brock McLean and Jack Trengove.

    Thought Sammy Blease might be our sprint representative. Hunt must be fast.

    I think the main selection criterion is which VFL/WAFL/SANFL player is least hungover by this time in September.

    Guys a big win here could propel us into next years finals. Don't underestimate the grand final sprint. It's the race that stops a nation.

    Jordan Murdoch from Geelong can seriously run. Look out for him.

    Blease would need a rest break at the 50m mark.

    He would win a 25m sprint though

    The GF sprint would be the furthest he has run for years.

    hed need to be a Dee to our representative ?

    Why do people think Dawson is slow? He's not quick of mind but the guy is a decent stopping full back for a reason. He's not slow.

    I think it's just the fact that 'Zac Dawson' and 'lol' in the same sentence seems to make a lot of sense.

    Swab Ambrose if he finishes top 3?

    I'm sure they ran this year as a handicapped race, so Fev had a head start

    the should make it more interesting and have the players have to bounce a footy as they go and kick a goal from 40 out to finish. Miss the goal or drop the footy your out

    To maintain it's relevance the kick should be a drop kick.

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
