There's an open training session at Domain from 4-6pm, just not sure if it's today or Saturday, since the game is Sunday I'm guessing it's today but can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance.

I love the criticism of Bail and Jones. Here are two blokes that have got the absolute best out of themselves and played AFL - unlike any of you clowns. And they are the least of out problems - they display an excellent attitude and willingness every time they play. The one thing we all hate - blokes not trying - is NEVER their crime.

This criticism is pathetic. You should be thinking about garland, dunn, nate jones, lamumba, dawes, howe - people with years on them and far more skill who regularly "don't turn up" get beaten by their opponents or have no impact on games. Who set the tone - or fail to - game after game after game.

Matt Jones and Ro Bail actually perform regardless of their dodgy "leaders"...they are let down only by a lack of natural skill.

Criticism of them is a low act. Get some effin perspective.

True. Bail was actually a key part in all 4 of our wins last year especially against Adelaide. Hasn't had a great year but I'm thankful for his service. I'm far more critical of the boys club you mentioned.

Final bench for mine Newton, Riley, Watts with Stretch as the sub.

Would love to see Riley smash a few in close.

After our last month of footy,we are going to travel to Perth and beat the top team,at a ground we haven't won at since 2004 when Peter Vardy won us the game in the rain,i was there,Brock Mclean's debut game,MORE THAN A DECADE AGO!!!!!

Stupid thread.

Last week you guys said Carlton will tank,Hogan will kick 8 !!!!!!!

You guys forget who you support

60+ flogging

Giants will hammer us next week too and put us out of our misery finally,one day we will be good again and I can't wait but be realistic.

Nothing to play for

I like the positivity of this post. Those seven words make all the difference.

Hard to argue with any of this.

Still, it always adds the perspective that our list is way, way under skilled and until these blokes stop getting games, we'll remain a bottom club.

I actually am now looking forward to this match because we have got rid of a few of our flaws.

Firstly we have a left-footed defender playing in Salem which means we can play through the left wing with a bit more confidence - yes I know he played last week, but why he played the first half up forward is beyond belief - sorry that's a comment, not a negativity Roosy.

Secondly we have a back-up ruckman in Spencer which means if Gawny gets tired, it's not end game for us - we can compete with Sandi.

Thirdly the loss of Fyfe makes it pretty easy to figure out tagging matchups with Viney ideal for Neale and Vince ideal for Mundy.

Given it is Jonesy's 200th, I'd expect all our blokes to be up for the clash, so hopefully we are highly competitive for much of the match.

Melbourne has never beaten a Ross Lyon coached team

Good luck. I'll be enjoying a few cold beers after golf.

Looks like it's going to be wet too.

Might've eased a bit by Sunday arvo.

Is this a record?

John Ralph's tipped margin in the Hun is 136 points (and he can only find it in himself to go 88 for Tiges over Dons and 77 Hawks over Lions). Does anyone ever go triple figures in tipping??

Cummon Dees, rub his nose in it.

p.s. Bearing in mind the coaches recent comments, is JR perhaps a Melbourne supporter?

sorry: 134. I does him a disservice

It will be 4th week in a row we are at least 8 goals to 1 down. What a joy.

now at least Roos will have someone other than himself and the team to blame !!!

I think he's been pretty fair with us this year too.

They don't get injured.

Best advice I ever got is " 90% of success is turning up "

Jon Ralph is a pretty ordinary writer and I can't remember him breaking a single story earlier than anyone else. He's a lightweight, but he's in good company. There aren't many good football writers left.

Bench is Watts, Newton, Grimes and Stretch.

Would've liked to see Riley get a call up as his effort is non-negotiable, but looks okay otherwise. Stretch as the sub.

Of course it will be wet as we picked a tall lumbering side.

I laid out a tenner on this as well. It might be all of the positive vibes that has got me feeling like we are a sneaky chance.

This is what you do to me Demonland. You have got my hopes up now.

I just hope that we at least put in some effort, because I really don't want to see a 100+ loss that will put a veil of negativity on my weekend. Again.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield.
