hm, interesting with 'vandemon' and grimes also up and about...

i'd expect lumumba, vandenberg would practically be auto-ins.

jkh must come under consideration given we'll need run, and lots of it.

VANDERS IN IMMEDIATELY. He is a weapon, who if he feels a bit off the pace can easily play in the forward line and get goals.

    Drug cheats are trying to tank now and send players off to surgery early. Let's humiliate them and [censored] up their culture even more

    I disagree. It means that Viney or Vince who would definitely go to Watson will go to someone else. This is great news for us, he may have been down in form but he still would have been very dangerous.

    It also means that there's one less player to tag. So our best tagger can then go to Zaharakis or whoever.

    As for odds for the game given injuries etc, knowing us and coming back from Darwin, it's still very much a danger game. I'll be happy with the 4 points (no matter how we get them)

    i must say that the news of Watson missing to me is a worry- far too often over many years we have gone down to teams that have lost leading players through injury or suspension.

    It is a mental thing.

    FCS just go out and beat up whoever is there.

    Baguley said he was faking it... Lonie hasn't taken kindly to that and is doing his best to get Baguleys suspension extended to 2 weeks lol

    Good on him I say

    Interesting Tribunal dialogue/commentary:

    “Baguley pleads guilty to intentional striking, but is seeking to have the contact downgraded from high to body contact. - He accuses Lonie of "faking it" when he went to ground after the strike.”

    “Lonie sticks to his guns when the suggestion is put to him that contact was more than "marginally" less to his neck.”

    “Adrian Anderson (for Baguley) … infers Lonie's evidence shouldn't be given the same weight as Baguley's.”

    Odd line of defence by Baguley…’played the man not the ball’ in my book. Lonie not having a bar of it! Good on him!

    Baguley will be very lucky if he gets off!

    Jobe doesn't like footy now that he cant have his drugs.

    We should put Viney on him.

    and hit him in the guts.

    Positive injury update. So:

    In: Grimes, Vanders, Lumumba

    Out: Bail, Spencer, M Jones

    FB: Jetta Dunn Garland

    HB: Cross McDonald Grimes

    C: Lumumba Jones Watts

    HF: Brayshaw Hogan Vanders

    FF: Garlett Dawes Howe

    Foll: Gawn Vince Viney

    Int: Tyson ANB Stretch Toump

    E: Fitzy, Harmes, JKH

    Leaning towards giving Howe one more week back as a true mid sized forward. Hurley will go to Hogan more than likely as I think Hooker will stay forward. Then it's a matter of having a couple of good marking options to take advantage of Gwilt and Steinberg. I'm tempted to leave Spencer in (ahead of Howe) but I think the best balance against Essendon's lack of ruckman is to ask Dawes to do a bit of time in the ruck and to put the challenge on Gawny to run out the game. It's time he shows he can do it.

    Not sure the week after the Darwin conditions we should be putting that challenge to Gawn. I'd leave Spencer as an emergency and bring him in if the weather is fine, otherwise I'd be going with Dawes or even Howe in the ruck. Make him actually do something this week.

    That is a very petty and vindictive post Biffen.

    I detect some personal financial pain in there.

    Yes depending on match ups is how we prepare tactically but if we haven't learned from the Geelong game to go into every week with a winning mindset we never will.

    • 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 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.
