Shut up.

Do you think Watts should be in the team head of Grimes?

    I think he thinks you should shut up.

    Your constant bagging and irrational posting of Watts makes it difficult for me to have a footy debate.

    Fwiw, both should play.

    All I want to see is Bernie do to Pendlebury what he did to Dangerfield..........win lose or draw I want to hear those toothless bogans booing.......but I will settle for them booing the umpires if we are in front and getting what a 'one eyed' supporter feels is an easy ride. :-)

    If we can control the midfield we will win....it's as simple as that......

    ......so we need to be harder, lower and relentless.

    Go Dees

    Did Roos say they expect Tyson to play?

    He's not even named in the possible INs.

    What gives??

    Ineteresting. Tyson named for Casey.

    Looks like they want him to get a run before coming back for the seniors.

    just texted as much to my mate. I want pendles repeatedly put into the ground.

    I'm tipping a win. Let's not forget who the Pies have played this year and which teams have beaten them.

    We still don't come to play each week we pick our matches and this weeks is one of them. We must be accountable and match their tackling intensity and pressure.

    Might be good to get his fitness up given his lack of run in his few games this year

    Well I do hope it is better than last year. I remember Jonsey kicking the first goal a minute in and we didnt score much else and kicked badly for the rest of the day.

    Great that Maxy has got his chance. Im looking forward to see how he goes.

    Final bench will be interesting. I expect Watts brayshaw and grimes to remain. We are very tall, Id expect spencer to get dropped because grundy and goldsack are very mobile and athletic ruckmen and Spencer struggled against Pyke a few weeks ago.

    Anyway I have given up a 8 hour penalty rate work day to go to this game, so melbourne better put on a good show.

    But also looking forward to seeing Neale Daniher and the poor celebs that have to do the ice slide.

    With Fitz and Gawn named in the starting 18 you'd think Spence is out wouldn't you?

    Interesting selection. Thought Fitzy and Howie a bit lucky. Unsure about what interchange bench ex Brayshaw tells us?

    There is much similarity between our game plan of 1865 and our game plan of 2015...Yes the 150th anniversary of everyone on the ball....the rolling maul. Scores around then were similar ..ie 3 goals for an entire match could win you a game......so far this decade the other teams have, sadly, mostly managed more goals than 3 .

    Roos plan is to exhaust the opposition players by having 100 ball ups. When this game plan doesn't work and we can't get a possession the players become DISCOMBOBULATED. I hope this clears things up for a lot of people.

    The Gawn trigger has been pulled, another bullet in Jamar's chest.

    I have a suspicion that Roos is giving both Gawn and Spencer a chance to show they can hold the no. 1 ruck spot down before the end of the year. If they show him they have what is needed it's all good, otherwise they may find themselves on the outer while we trade for another option from somewhere else. Spencer has been ok but not amazing in his games so far, now it's Gawn's chance to show that he can go one better.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
