They can't continue to drop Michie and bring him up every 2nd week and expect to make an impact. Give him 6 games in a row to see what he can offer. Im a fan of his and he has been unfairly treated.

I only know one person who has taken more deliberate shots to the head than Joel Selwood and that was a girl from Brighton.

It's the midfield stupid. N Jones, Vince, Tyson, Cross, Viney and Brayshaw with two first rucks will make sure we get our hands on the ball regularly. We won't get smashed. We're missing a heap of

It's a shocking bench, let's be honest. The upside is that at full strength that entire group of seven would be at Casey.

I don't think we can play Spencer with Gawn, I don't really want to see what Terlich looks like at AFL level when he's not even coming off VFL form, so of the remaining five I'd drop Riley who gives us nothing.

That leaves us with Bail, M Jones, MIchie and ANB, any of whom could be the sub tbh.

The 3.20 pm was the killer for me.

Puts the game finish time at close to 6 pm on the shortest day of the year which means that if I stay to the end I'll be driving home on that dark godforsaken stretch of highway in a foul mood.

Still, I hope the boys can hear me cheering them on from the loungeroom while I watch the game on Foxtel.

Was considering going down to Simonds for the first time in my life... until I saw the time slot.

According to CH10 news the game is sold out, as it is Enrights 300th.....even more reason to avoid the place!

Spot on.

You know we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel when Dean Terlich has to be named on an extended bench.

Oh god.

10 goal loss (at least) coming up.

What shocking depth we have.

You write this almost as if our lack of depth is surprising to you.

We were always going to be in this position with a few injuries.

I like Riley, Spencer and Dawes in although not from all of a pure football management perspective.

And i think that's what you'll find. Good thinking by Roos to do it.

We have a few young blokes in there and old heads don't go astray metaphorically speaking

Given what the bench is I'd go with Riley as sub, M. Jones, Spencer & Terlich as emergencies with Spencer the carry over player.

I was initially calling for Michie to be dropped, but instead I reckon give him this game to rotate through midfield & half back. If he has another shocker he'll be VFL bound for the rest of the year.

Stretch in first 18 is notable

I reckon Stretch looks at home in the seniors. He goes missing a bit but once around the ball, his efforts are good and he doesn't seem rushed at all.

Michie I'm afraid doesn't impact with his possessions, doesn't tackle much and lacks a yard of pace. A limited footballer IMO.

You my full support chook for whatever it is worth

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
