TAB have us at $1.55. This is pretty short.

I thought Brisbane would start fav, they are at $2.45.

Lay down a pineapple on the Lions and you'll be able to drown your sorrows after the match courtesy of TAB.

    Im concerned about brisbanes speed, it will be a good battle of the inside mids but on the outside they have a clear advantage

    Saying that our talls at either end of the ground are far better than theirs.

    Brisbane are poo. The only people in the world who think we won't beat them are MFC supporters, that's why we're short priced favourites.

    They are poo everywhere except their midfield.

    And their midfield is stronger than ours. if we're going to win we're going to have to limit the influence of Beams, Hanley and Rockliff.

    Viney to Beams, Vince to Hanley and Jones to Rockliff?

    I see $2.45 as value. So yes, I have backed the Lions.

    Brisbane were good for 3 quarters against a quality side last week.

    MFC couldn't get over the line against a second rate - and depleted - Essendon side.

    How we are $1.55 favorites is beyond me.

    ...and this year, they're poo. Like, really really crap.

    I don't think you people understand.

    I understand that it's natural to expect the worst as an MFC supporter. I know we might lose. I know we're not travelling well. Just don't get the surprise at us being favourites, they're the worst side in the competition, playing away.

    I think that we 'people' saw them take it right up to Freo and, to a lesser extent, Sydney.

    Essendon were in the same boat last week and we all know the result.

    We are susceptible to strong midfields and small forwardlines which Brisbane definitely possess.

    Not sure what you've been smoking, Nasher. But, fact is this past three weeks Bne have been rather good, against top opposition. Just haven't been able to sustain it for four quarters.

    I certainly expect Melb to win. But, then again, I'm one of those sad people who expects Melb to win EVERY game...!

    Happens every year. We drop easy games. A nobody steps up and annihilates us. Cloke kicks 7.0 Daniher kicks 5.0. We are mentally weak and pathetic as a footy team.

    This is their only game for the year at the G. They'll be pumped.

    I still have vivid memories of the Swans beating us at the G after losing 24 in a row. There is a cancer within this club that we can't eradicate.

    As coach Id be watching those that don't give 4 qtrs and not playing them for the rest of the year and to be delisted at years end. Sick of it really.

    • 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.
