    Looking at the team named and at our injury list i rhink that this team is just about the best we could muster this week.

    Given all the adversity and the fact that the game is at Kardinia Park (it is not a stadium in any way, shape or form) The team goes there with nothing to lose and I would expect them to concentrate on doing the small things right from minute to minute during the game regardless of the scores and the game situation.

    Not expecting a miracle, but will be disapointed if we drop our pants all together.

    Last week during the game Hogan came off numerous times getting extensive work on his hammy. Id rather him miss a week then play and injure it and miss 3 or 4. With the bye next week it gives him 2 weeks rest.

    I hope the players arent going into the game with the mindset they used to have when they knew they wouldnt win and they just hoped to compete.

    At least we are going in with 2 known ruckman who actually play that position.

    I'm not gonna bother looking at the score much.

    I reckon we have picked a damage side.

    Damage them if we can catch them and good job too

    The only positive il take out of this game is that its another game into the likes of Viney Toumpas Brayshaw Tyson Stretch ANB.

    Theres our future right there.

    That's about it. Can't remember ever being less enthusiastic about a game. I know and the club knows we're not going to win.

    All a bit depressing really.

    Short memory.

    We named much worse teams last season (nevermind the Neeld years)

    Good Lord.

    Have been away from the Interweb for the best part of 24 hours only to be greeted by what is clearly to most pitiful looking line up this year.

    We, are, fugged.

    Wow really excited this week!!! We have our C Grade team playing, our B graders are injured.

    I just sit here and wonder why clubs like the Eagles can reignite every 2 years and our misery of a club takes 10.

    Hey Jacko.....don't talk hope to me until this club can manage to drag itself out of the bottom 4 and actually string together at least 2 wins in a row.

    Another year another month of June where we are still irrelevant as a football team.

    This will be a bloodbath unsuitable for children.

    The only solace is that Clark isn't playing to kick what would surely be at least 6 goals against us.

  • Quote

    Surely Gawn is a better forward than Spencer though?

    IMO, they're seriously on par.

    Stop whinging. It's not PJ's fault. And bloody support your club or give it up.

    Agree! I would even include (assuming best form) Vandenberg, Grimes and Trengrove at the expense of Cross (goal should be to that he is forced out of the side by younger players demanding his spot), Toumpas (not quite there yet but improving) and JKH (also not quite there but improving).

    So 8 of my best 22 out!

    No Hogan, Salem, Garland, Kent, vandenBerg, Frost, JKH, Pedersen or Grimes. This is a bad team. We have our core midfield though (Jones, Vince, Viney, Tyson, Brayshaw, Cross, Toumpas) so I'd hope we are able to compete through the middle. I'm worried about the forward line and I'm worried about defensive match ups though.

    I'd love to see the club justify why Fitzpatrick has not been selected in the absence of Pedersen and now Hogan.

    Really?

    He's played all year in defence. He's also mainly struggled as a forward at AFL level.

    Given we've got a half-baked Dawes in the side without Frost or Pedersen, it's no surprise at all we've gone with Spencer as the other 'forward' instead of Fitzpatrick.

    Hamstring tightness.

    I would rest him...we keep our supporters interested for the rest of the season rather than just one game.

    Not if we kick 3 goals and lose by 130 points

    • 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.
