Well done to Stretch for retaining his spot as a starter.

My bench would be ANB, Michie, M Jones (Riley)

    Stretch in first 18 is notable

    '

    I had him in my starting 18 for this week

    Didnt have Dawes in though

    Last time I went to Geelong we won ...after the siren.

    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!

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

    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

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    Me too!

    Always wondered who the other supporter there was....

    Its pathetic they allow about 100 opposition supporters in.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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

    • 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.
