MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 22

[DemonOX 8,791]

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.

Why not just give Riley a go ffs. It's not like it's gunna do us any worse.

FMD some selections are mind [censored] boggleying.

But I will be positive about it!!!!

[Demi Dee 578]

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.

I'd love us to start one game with Riley, Viney, VDB, Brayshaw and maybe Hogan in the centre. All go man on man and scare the living bejesus out of the opposition.

[DemonOX 8,791]

Tbh I am so over this fukin season its not funny.

The weekend is meant to be relaxing and enjoy watching your team but there ain't nothing relaxing about watching our team.

Come Sunday night I will have on my dressing gown of negativity and my mittens of despair

Deal with it Roosy

Hang on.... Is it Monday?

[McQueen 17,865]

I can't believe Ross Lyon persists with Zac Dawson.

Bet he'll be BOG now.

[DemonOX 8,791]

Hang on.... Is it Monday?

Feels like that most weeks McQueen.

But on a positive note hopefully it will turnaround at some stage in the future possibly maybe!

[chook fowler 19,459]

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.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

[DemonOX 8,791]

I really hope we play four quarters of footy.

Would makes nice change.

[rjay 24,996]

Zac Dawson is an excellent finals player, that's why. He hasn't let Lyon down yet.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,242]

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.

Love your passion Jaded. My advice for a good weekend - destroy your TV.

[DemonOX 8,791]

This made me laugh.

"Melbourne is also looking to end a 15-game losing streak at Domain Stadium – and win its first match at the venue since round 11, 2004, when the Demons defeated the Dockers".

Good kuc with that.

[Emerald 1,744]

I'll try to be positive.We can enjoy the majority of our weekend and the negativity wont kick in until 4:40pm Sunday afternoon.

[DemonOX 8,791]

Hopefully Melb take a leaf out of collywobbles book and perform like they have just had their arsezes kick.

We can always hope.

So potentially wet and Riley still can't get a game over M Jones, Grimes and Spencer!

Pathetic, but typical selection blunders!!

I know it's different, but... how many of us would of said that when we traveled down to Simonds Stadium earlier in the year?

Just saying...

THE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CAPS-LOCK-WORTHY JOYOUS BENCHMARKS

FOR BEING HAPPY ABOUT THE DEMONS PERFORMANCE AGAINST FREMANTLE!

Here are four big ambitions (and the number of times it has been achieved in last 5 games against Freo)

1. Kick at least one goal in each quarter. (twice - 2012 and 2013)

2. Lose by less than ten goals. (nope)

3. Have a goal-kicking accuracy of better than 40%. (once - 2013)

4. Kick 7 goals. (nope)

I propose a drinking game! For every target we reach, finish your drink.

For every target we miss by the end of the game, finish your drink, pour another, and finish that one too.

I honestly think I'm losing it.

i know the feeling

[Gorgoroth 12,974]

The only good thing is it's a 4:40 Sunday game so the weekend is over and I'm normally starting to dread Monday at this time anyway.

Taking the positives!!!

Hey let's get really ambitious:

1) a win at Domain Stadium

Followed by:

2) a win at Etihad

Giving us:

3) two wins in a row

And:

4) seven wins for the season, including:

5) Three Hoodoos broken in a fortnight!

[Gorgoroth 12,974]

4. Would equal 8 wins, not 7

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Thought it odd that OMac has been told he will play back (interview on MFC website) but is selected in forward pocket. The old red herring tactic...

[Coq au vin 755]

"Chris Dawes will mark everything in sight and every inside fifty pass will hit Jess Hogan on the [censored] as he gives Fred Fanning's long standing goal kicking record a fair shake." Dawes will have to take marks in Melbourne. He's not in the team this week.

They're all being given their last run before being shown the door.

[barneymfc 152]

spencer will be there next year will be needed as a back up at least.It takes time for the big guys to mature and he will improve next year
