I am honestly at the point where, bizarre as it sounds, I wouldn't even be particularly pumped if that happened. I would just be concerened that they will continue to back it up next week and next year. When they won down in Geelong, it should have been a turning point. Everything that came after should have matched that standard - but instead it has regressed all the way back to worst in the comp status. Playing to their potential once every 4-5 weeks and the rest being garbage is in some ways more infuriating then seeing no good at all.

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere, but according to AFL site, Brayshaw and Harmes will be rested this week, to give them a breather. Roos wants players to start playing and getting angry, he believes that they feel too sorry for themselves.

Pretty much sums up what most on here have been saying, which is why I think possibly Garland, Howe, Dunn(?), Grimes (?) as the old guard, may be moved on. Not sure about contract status of Grimes and Dunn, but you get my drift.

Dunn and Garland? I somehow doubt that they will be moved on.

That's called a 'wetdream" picket.

Seems funny resting players with 2 games left...

maybe it's the last hoorah for some of the old guard or maybe saving up for a shot at the last game of the season.

Harmes has been sub a few times but he's had 7 straight games since his debut, as a second year player I might've sent him back to the VFL or kept him as sub but I can understand the thinking with a rest.

Brayshaw effectively had the week off when hit in the opening seconds against West Coast but for the last 3 weeks he's looked particularly tired. I'm relieved they are resting him no matter how many games left. If you keep going to the well with a young guy who looks clearly tired you're asking for an injury.

He may well be OD... he might walk, but I somehow doubt that the club would be pushing him.

I agree hardtack

All the indications seems to suggest he is leaving.

Has all the hall marks of Frawley last year to me.

I think the club believes he is worth X and he has either an offer of more from another club and or he wants to go to a club that wins more than it loses.

I think the same applies to Howe.

Harmes? Meh, I can't really see why he has been given the extended run denied to Toumpas earlier in the year.

Toumpas played 8 games in a row earlier in the year.

Harmes has played 7 games total.

Resting Brayshaw in round 22? Only about six weeks too late for that one. Harmes? Meh, I can't really see why he has been given the extended run denied to Toumpas earlier in the year.

Harmes provides a bit of spark and even though he sprays it at least his confidence doesn't wane throughout a match like Toumpas' does.

Toumpas has needed extended VFL time to mature as a football. He has seriously looked like a 12-year-old playing a man's game at times.

If Brayshaw and Harmes are going out, presumedly with H as well, then you'd expect Tyson, JKH and Fitzpatrick to come in.

No point bringing Jamar in now.

Now I am about to type a negative so I hope the players are busy and don't get the vibes.

I think they i.e. the FD think this game is expendable.

Will lose any way so freshen up a few for the last game where we have a much better chance.

And end the season on a win.

The 7 game objective is achieved and no one thought we had a pray against Freo anyway.

Season ends with a win and all the negative members end the year with a positive.

I will be surprised if he is not traded or de listed. Having said that he will probably be in the side tonight.

I think you are right OD. Especially since Freo need to win to ensure a home final. No hope we'd encounter them resting.

I have kind of been thinking the same. Even put a tenner on it for the heck of it.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
