Would have dropped Bail ahead of M Jones. Can't understand that - wouldn't play either of them. No point.

The Prince is very lucky to be there.

Pity about Tyson, really need him.

If Gawn is out, Kreuzer will ruinate us.

    You can't honestly tell me that Lumumba has been better value than Matt Jones in recent weeks.

    A bench containing Bail, Newton, Riley and Jamar is as bad as anything we dealt with last year. Plus Brayshaw who should have been rested a month ago, and has struggled ever since.

    I can't see that Stretch's average 9.5 possessions a game warranted another opportunity this year either.

    A half decent side would beat Carlton by ten goals. We might get them by three if we're lucky.

    So much better than the white clash jumper.

    Hope the Carlton team that killed Port with their pressure doesn't come out on Sunday.

    If Gawn is out it would be nice to see Russian play a farewell game

    hes always tried his guts out for the club. just limited athleticism

    Yes a loss will be a disaster, just like the match vs GWS at the MCG late last season.. the kind of soul crushing loss that sets a club back 12 months.

    The potential of ending on 8 wins is a nothing season?

    Even Damien Barret reckons we will win this game by 10 goals.

    Now I am really worried

    us beatuing carlton doesnt mean we had a good or bad season. they are shite and have nothing to play for. us winning wont give me any more confidence going into next year

    and we have no chance of beating Freo or GWS even if they dont give 100%

    As if Garry Lyon tipping us wasn't already a curse!

    Certainly great to see Salem back in the team... we need all the class we can get!

    We're a sneaky chance against GWS in the last round.

    I reckon next season will be great. I don't think we'll make the finals but I reckon we'll get about 10 wins. That means we'll be in the 'finals race' for a large part of the season which will be pretty exciting after the last decade or so!

    No, it isn't. But he asked for an honest opinion...

    Well it's moot I know but I can't agree.

    Matt Jones has had 33 possessions and 7 tackles compared to Lumumba 17 possessions and 6.

    Hard to mount an argument for Lumumba. He's been horrible and I don't know how he's still in the team. Perhaps Roos has gone to him and said "While I'm coach you won't be dropped". That's what he said to Rhyce Shaw.

    Bb you made a good case for Lumumba having been poor this season, particularity the point about how low his possession count is.

    Unfortunately for the dees Lumumba made an even stronger argument last week against the doggies. He was woeful, particularly in terms of how weak his tackling was.

    Have a look at StKilda's outs. They've shut up shop for the year.

    They want to finish below us so they can get Parish.

    • 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.
