GAME DAY - Round 10

Hoping the likes of Brayshaw and Hogan make today's game more entertaining to watch than last years game.

 

If Collingwood win today they'll have 7 wins and they will literally have beaten the 7 bottom sides on the ladder.

They're nothing special.

Richmond and the Bulldogs are better sides and we beat them, easily. If our players remember that, and don't view the QB stage plus the big crowd and the opponent as being more meaningful than they actually are, then we are absolutely in this.

I didn't. He just hasn't been the same in the 8 games since.

That was his 200th game and he really lifted for it.

Just hope playing his old side gives him the extra motivation to lift again and continue for the season, not just a cameo game.

Hasn't hit some of the heady heights with the Pies but then he is surrounded by players who also dont rank as highly as he had around him there so I dont think you can expect "like for like" form every match playing in this list.

I still rate him though. Very highly when played in his traditional position off HB. Not sure he is suited to any mid field focussed role and woildn't rate him as highly when asked to play a role there.

The AFL ratings also has him right up there ranked 13 out of approx 120 small/medium defenders (and rising). Approx one quarter of the matches used for that rating have been with the MFC now.]

Blues skies and a huge crowd building outside of the G. Its almost like a finals type atmosphere.

Just hope the boys can get up today and experience that real winning feeling in front of a big crowd!

Cmon Dees!

Blood spilt for Danners today Demons

Do not care how you do it.

Contest by Contest

For God Sake kick goals. Just take 'em on

I think the Demonland wrist-slitting will give us enough spilled blood. We probably won't need any more.


I thought we played quite well last year.

We were fairly close near 3/4 time when the umpire for some inexplicable reason denied Bernie's goal after marking and playing on.

Then the pies kicked a goal just before the siren so it was a 2 goal swing.

We couldn't get our mojo back.

We have a better team this year so expecting a much closer result.

Could go either way.

Just finished a bike ride and will be heading to the G with Son of bjDee. Heartened by the great wins of Tiges on Friday and Scorps on Saturday. Here's hoping the Dees turn up today and give it a massive crack.

That's part of the the problem, as soon as something goes against us we go into a melt.down.

FINAL TEAMS

Collingwood vs Melbourne

Jarrod Witts OUT for Collingwood, replaced by Ben Kennedy

Subs:

Collingwood: Ben Kennedy

Melbourne: Matt Jones

oh yeah I called the ruckman late change. Now we look too tall with Fitz.

Could MFC potentially make the change of Grimes for Fitzpatrick now or is it too late?

Always seem to go in too tall!

Should throw Fitz forward now.

wow, Witts late out but Fitzy still in the side.....

I'm scared.

it would be good to see the final team before submitting your own. But unless you pull a "injury in the warm up" I think that's all we can do. We look far too tall now.

I'm scared.

Scaredypants!!!!

Ps I am too


Great to see such a good turnout for Cure MND and lets hope the boys give us a win to cure depression in long suffering Melbourne fans.

Worried that they've dropped one of their talls, yet Fitzy is still in. Feels intentional from Collingwood.

 

Not a good marking day with this wind. I reckon the dees will be competitive but it does not bode well for Hogan and his marking prowess. 2 to 4 goals the pies.

Looks like Fitz will play forward and be our second ruckman. Warming up with Gawn in the middle.

  • 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.
