Should show the team the Marngrook tipping to get them fired up, suggestion of Melbourne getting anywhere close was incomprehensible. I hold some hope, when we are written off and mocked we can sometimes do ok (or follow the narrative exactly). We do always struggle on the games we are expected to win though.

    Viv's third opportunity in a row. Needs to step up this week after an improved showing last week. Gonna be tough on the fast deck at Etihad but fingers crossed for the lad.

    I think it might be the last roll of the dice for Viv. I think he needs to show something really positive to say that he deserves to be on the list. Myself? I'm not so sure he can do that.

    The question now is whether he's a handy depth player moving forward. He couldn't crack into a strong Freo team and has hardly done much better at the MFC, relatively speaking.

    If JT and the recruiting team can rustle up one or two more VDB's out of the lower tier comps, I can't see the necessity of keeping players like Viv on the list. Crash and bash with average skill execution seems to be of more value.

    Just has not shown enough and is too slow.

    I was at training so I can give an eyewitness account.During a match simulation the ball was kicked wide towards the boundary and Hogan and McDonald were both going for the mark.They both went to ground with McDonald underneath Hogan.McDonald didn't get up and called for assistance.His boot came off and was looked at then he walked off the track with just a slight limp.After about ten minutes he came back on and did a bit of light jogging and agility exercises and continued with the rest of the team.From what I could see it didn't look too bad.I was at training last week and vandenberg looked a lot worse.

    Ever considered doing pre-season training reports?

    So he's the equal of Grimes then?

    Totally irrelevant but Id like to know how many games weve actually won there since its inception.....

    We had great record until it changed it name to Etihad Stadium. Since then we've won none.

    Salem out sick, Bail in.

    Are you kidding me? Seriously?

  • Quote

    Disappointing re:Salem if true. Funnily enough he was also a late exclusion due to a virus against North at Etihad last year. Must not want to play there!!

    Anyone have a breakdown of age and game experience between the 2 sides. Apparently Dogs are the 3rd youngest club in the league, which makes their season even more remarkable.

    Can anyone provide an actual source about Salem? Can't find anything at the moment.

    • 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.
