Except from The Age

The Dees will be close to full strength against Fremantle with only Bernie Vince (hamstring), Jeremy Howe (hamstring), Dean Terlich, Jack Fitzpatrick and Jack Trengove (foot) sitting out the match.

Have they forgotten someone? Mr. Watts.

and viney

 

All over, was a blowing out the cobwebs session nothing more. No drills, just shots at goal and kick to kick.

How did that get past the auto censor?
 

From tomorrow night onwards Salem will become everyones top 5.

I've always thought this kid is the best kid I've seen us draft.

There are no flaws in his game, I've watched him since juniors and he has a blend of polish and toughness - a rare blend.

Freo will be a big test for him though. One of the best forward pressure teams raring to go plus he'll likely have a half decent opponent to defend against. But if he gets the defensive support and midfield options then he should excite. First game as a defender at AFL level though so I'm just cooling expectations a bit.

A Draw

After that Melb. on the up.

Id pick a win except I don't want to be disappointed

A draw ?Well if we win Ill be even happier

Just don't want to raise my expectations

 

After we lose wait for the wrist slashing on the site!

What loss??


7:10 on the east coast

Unless of course you're on that part of the east coast that doesn't have daylight savings. 6.10 for those behind the banana curtain.

Harmes (and also someone like Aidan Riley) are in a pretty heavy logjam of inside midfield/half forward types. Without Watts and Vince the numbers of outside running types are pretty low. Maybe Lumumba, Toumpas and Matt Jones as wing types. I think there's enough difference in the roles to justify the selection, not to mention that Stretch has looked very good.

yeh good point, those injuries are really highlighting our weaknesses. guys like toumpas might be able to play a role like that, good oppertunity for other to stand up. petty howe is out.

They'll have the last laugh at our faded curtains...

Let us hope that Toumpas becomes another one!

The Toump looked tidy today with everything he did but to be honest I'm surprised, if not a little disappointed, that he's still a bit of a runt amongst the group.

If he can lay a tackle and shake a loose ball to our advantage I'll be super impressed. The whole inside / outside argument is becoming invalid nowadays. Mids need to have both facets to their games and the build to accompany them.

McQ did you notice Toumpas' set shots how he waves the ball around during the run up, didn't look very orthodox.

I didn't take notice of that mate. If he slots them then who cares. Hogan looks pretty awkward as well..

Mountain View Hotel, Bridge Road Richmond is where I will be tonight, enjoying a counter as I watch us whip the Dockers! All Dees supporters welcome!

Col Garland to play forward?

Food sucks there, in my opinion. Although i love the rooftop.

I am intrigued tonight more so to see the game time that we get into players legs, hopefully we will see less skill errors but seeing as it is the first round of the NAB cup and it has been pretty clear in all the earlier rounds it will be a scrappy affair, which suggests Fremantle could well lock it in their forward half.

Is that a good place CBDees? How's the food?

I'm back visiting from the USA & not familiar with Melbourne sports bars etc.. Recommendations from anyone most appreciated.

Was thinking of the Bentleigh club as it's nearby?

Thanks

I expected a touch better at the line.. +18.5 at $1.90.

Nevertheless I've dropped a $150 on us for good measure.

I am reasonably confident we get within 3 goals with Fyfe, Sandilands out and a Roos vs Lyon game of defensive tactics.

These coaches won't let the shackles off just because it is NAB cup, they are both men of structures, discipline and defense.

  • 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.

  • 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.
