If Dill has any balls he will request a re jig of the fixture next week

It's not as if Essendrugs situation is going to change

Sir WYL just asking when did you get your overdue, and much deserved "gong"? People like yourself will no doubt help lift the tone of debate here on Demonland

    Welcome to the Aristocrosy Sir WYL. Make the most of it as I believe Tony may be in a spot of bother! I fear we may be facing the rule of the mob come next week.

    Well, according to Tony's good mate Kevin Andrews, the best thing for this country is a pairing of Abbott and Gillard :)

    The AFL should advise Essendon boycotting the NAB Challenge will result in a "bringing the game into disrepute" charge with fines and sanctions (draft picks).

    If Essendon are out of the picture it's simple, we play Saints and GWS figure something out.

    I would rather we play a team on the up (GWS) than the Saints.

    Easy. They just provisionally un-suspend Essendon players for 24 hours, then provisionally suspend them again. Why not ... everything else about Essendon and drugs is a joke. :rolleyes:

    Who has said we would have to? If we did though it wouldn't concern me too much as traveling and performing is one of the things we need to get better at - after all, teams like Freo, Eagles, Crows etc do it on a regular basis and manage ok.

    Honestly, how are Essendon getting away with this.

    They've been holding the AFL to ransom for 2 years on this - and all after they administered their players with [censored] drugs!!!

    Maybe 2 games is enough for us. There has been a push to reduce the preseason games and this might end up working in our favour.

    Would it be out of the question to play the Saints or GWS the weekend before round 1?

    Or as someone mentioned, a triangular series between the 3 clubs on the last weekend of Feb.

    maybe, but I'm not sure Roos and Co would be all that happy about having 2 weeks off before round 1?

    Given that we're not a particularly good footy team, I would've thought we'd need all the 'practise' we can get?

    We also don't need our best players injured before the season starts. Anyway, just saying that maybe 2 full scale games is enough and many have talked about lessening the load.

    It could well be to our advantage to have a couple of games then a hit up against a lesser opponent to fine tune.

    I say that we get on the front foot.

    Boycott it on account of not wanting to play against drug cheats.

    Would make for an interesting stance, and statement. Might put the cat amongst the kittens....I like it :)

    Im not sure its going to be too much of a problem really.

    The tribunal is due back feb 16 for a couple of days.

    Im sure it wont take them a whole month to release their verdict.

    Infact im sure we will have it well before the start of the preseason games.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
