Knowing our luck it will only be 1 week and he will miss a NAB challenge match come back against us and kick 5 and be the match winner.

Wow, Werridee, you really are scarred!

    Presume nab suspensions get served in premiership season not nab, but can't be sure.

    Looks blatant and dangerous enough to draw a week, but we have to beat the team out there not look for help.

    The AFL never ceases to amaze.

    I just heard on SEN they said on top of Lynch being out, Day and Dixon are also out for round 1. Does anyone know if this is true? I don't want to sweat on who is and isn't playing, but their 3 big forwards being out could pose an issue for them.

    In that case, Ablett to play full-forward and kick 10.

    Day is set to resume through the twos this weekend but not sure about Dixon

    Our confidence is still at a very low ebb when we are sweating on players from the other side being out to help us win.

    I wonder if it will be in my life time when we don't care about the other side?

    I think this is how the tribunal usually make their decisions.

    Well, the real win for us would be Ablett sitting it out. He's usually the on who takes the game away from us. Plus they tend to fall apart without him.

    I expect Gold Coast to take this to the tribunal and risk Lynch getting 2 weeks.

    They play St Kilda in an extremely winnable game at home in round 2 so will probably wear the risk.

    They need to penalise Harley Bennell for his indiscretions, so why not have him sit out the opening round as well. In my mind, he's their most dangerous player as far as the MFC is concerned.

    This discussion about key outs for the round one match is hilarious reminiscent of the round one match against the Saints last year.

    We were a shoe-in to win due to their injury count. Everyone remember that?

    Only too well... so we obviously need even more of the oppositions best players out :)

    Yes but the difference is GC would have to be missing about 8 of their best 22 for us to go in favourites.

    At this stage, they only have Dixon and Probably Lynch out which is no where near enough for us to be confident of a win. They will likely have all their midfield in.

    On the other hand St Kilda basically gifted us a win with their massive amounts of outs last year. It was a very disappointing loss by us.

    I am reading this thread so clearly I care which opponent stars may be missing but how I long for the day when I think BORING and ignore.

    Then I will know we are good.

    I put us at about a 20% chance to beat the Gold Coast in round 1, even with a few outs. They are a significantly stronger side than us.

    If it was on the Gold Coast yes but it's at our home ground.

    We only lost to them by 8 points last year although it should have been by about 3 or 4 goals if they kicked straight.

    Lynch kicked 2 goals 2 and took 6 marks so he caused us problems.

    The players that they didn't have in that game that will probably play are Bennell, Malceski and Hallahan, while we will have Lumumba, Hogan, Garlett, Newton and Frost.

    We definitely will be the underdog but it will be a lot closer than people think.

    Our team should be a lot stronger than the side that ran out against the Saints last year.

    • 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.
