MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 22

Featured Replies

How the F..k do Matt Jones and Rohan Bail continue to get games.

Because we got nothing else?

Who do you suggest we play?

 
 

Good luck OMac.

Hopefully u get in and have a great first game.


I know Spencer and Gawn worked well for one game but I don't get why Roos is always obsessed with being loaded with talls.

Also interesting that Jamar was emergency for several weeks on the trot and then Spencer finally gets selected before him..

For me I would not include Jack Grimes, James Harmes, Rohan Bail in the final 22.

I read that Harmes was going to be rested with Brayshaw.

Spencer at full forward... Not sure about that that one. Lack of depth I suppose

As per the VFL report;

Jake had 19 possessions, took 12 marks and had 30 hit outs so he was probably our best player on the day. I was really happy for Jake because over his last four or five weeks hes just been there about but certainly hasnt impacted the game like he did this week. His ability to be able to play a role in the ruck and have some real dominance there and then go forward and kick four goals as well was really pleasing. He played his best game of VFL football in a long time so I couldnt have been happier for him. The challenge for him now is to try and back that up.

 

Congrats to chunk on 200 games.

Hopefully it's a great game for him and the team.

It annoys me, nothing scares me more than the thought they might offer Bail another contract, please no. I want them to pay Jones out as well.

I know he's had concussion but Toumpas not getting picked this week would surely suggest it's curtains for him, unless the docs still haven't cleared him.

I reckon they will give Jamar a farewell game against West Sydney.

Jake had 19 possessions, took 12 marks and had 30 hit outs so he was probably our best player on the day. I was really happy for Jake because over his last four or five weeks he’s just been there about but certainly hasn’t impacted the game like he did this week.

He played his best game of VFL football in a long time so I couldn’t have been happier for him. The challenge for him now is to try and back that up.

And good luck to him

I just think he is another player who, like Gawn until this year, has struggled to convert VFL form into AFL footy particularly up forward. That said I think Gawn will spend more time forward then in the ruck, leaving the duties to spencer

I love spencer up forward he will be a headache for anyone to tackle with his height and he has proven he can kick a goal or two.


Bail and Matt Jones have failed too many times. Why rest Harmes ?? He has hardly played?? Been sub a few times. Why not just use him or Brayshaw as sub.

Tired players ... amazing !! no wonder we are viewed as SOFT.

Because we got nothing else?

Who do you suggest we play?

Id rather these games go in Jay Kennedy Harris instead of Bail for example. Didn't even play last week in the 2s and he still gets named.

Unbelievable

I like it.

It screams Roos call for the players to get angry and play that way too. Big Spencil will knuckle someone/s on the weekend and duly get rubbed out.

I have the feeling this game will be rather spiteful.

About bloody time.

Dawes and Lumunba out..... good.

Hope Spencer smashes a few Dockers

Don't forget that Roos wanted us to play like maniacs last weekend and well look how we played.

Too true OX.

Maybe next week we'll be playing like psychopaths?

I'd settle for enthusiasts after the crap that's been dished up lately

 

I know I'm not allowed to be negative .... but ...FMD ..... we'll get the [censored] kicked out of us..

What a [censored] up we've become.

Jesus, I don't think I can cop much more of this - apparently since my negativity has contributed to us being the basket case we are.

My only concern with this new found Uber Confident Positivism is what happens, IF Against all odds, the Dockers manage to outscore us (not beat, to negative). Will it hurt more?

That couldn't happen now that everyone is so positive but even if they outscored us we learn would learn from it and move on. It will be character building, for ourselves and the players. I think the Melbourne Footy team are the best little players in the best little club in the best little country in the world. I might even pay for my membership in Babcock and Brown shares as I reckon they will come good too!

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

  • 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.
