    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.

    Lions almost beat them over there, we must put up a fight, or play them into GF contention

    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.

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

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
