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!!!!

    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.

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

    Bet he'll be BOG now.

    Feels like that most weeks McQueen.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    THE ABSOLUTELY :) POSITIVELY :) CAPS-LOCK-WORTHY :);) JOYOUS BENCHMARKS

    FOR BEING HAPPY :) ABOUT THE DEMONS :lol: 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.

    :roos:

    I honestly think I'm losing it.

    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!

    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...

    "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.

    • 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.
