For what it's worth (and I don't think it's worth much), Nathan Brown on SEN just said Melbourne 40+ at $13 is the week's best bet. He said Melbourne will win and win comfortably. Told the guys, "I know you're going to laugh at me, and I know they don't have Hogan and Lewis, but they're going to win, and they're going to win well."

That might be the first time I've heard a bookie talk like that about Melbourne in about 15 years.

EDIT: And just like that it's slashed $3 off the price, down to $10.

Rubbish post. He had 1 clanger on the weekend, went at 83% DE, and didn't concede a goal. He reads the play beautifully

Tim Smith coming in doesn't spell the end for Pedersen. Run an eye over the Casey reports - Pedersen is still working into it after a limited pre-season. I don't know why we need to be so melodramatic

Some people are being harsh on Brayshaw.  After his run of head knocks last year he said it took a while before he stopped being anxious going for the ball.  If I recall correctly he worked with

My biggest fear is Dangerfield simply roving to Gawn, this needs to be stopped where possible.

Tap it to the side he's not on.

Emg: Tom Bugg, Cameron Pedersen, Jake Spencer
In: Kent, T.Smith, Vince
Out: Hogan (suspended), Lewis (suspended), Brayshaw

Brayshaw looked a bit worse for wear after the forehead cut last week so not surprised he is out.

Good selections, let's see how we do.

Surprised for Brayshaw, not sure it's just about him having an off game last week, perhaps they're playing it safe with the head knock or other injury issues.

Brayshaw was omitted and likely playing VFL instead. Hopefully he can find some form then return to the seniors and have an impact. He's really struggled with injury and form this last 12 months after a good debut year.

Genuine pressure for spots now even with our injuries and suspensions. Gus was good against St Kilda but a bit down last week and Kent is such a damaging player when on song. Needed to find room for him somewhere

Jetta has been superb.  It's going to be fascinating to see the make up of defence when Hibberd, Frost, Wagner and J.Smith are all available.

....might have to start calling us The Smiths.

Dean kent is back, you beauty,  Still underrated by most,  hard as nails, fast, raking left foot kick, coming off a breakout 25 goal season.

Always found him a bit selfish around goals though. Let's hope he's worked on that shortcoming over the summer.

Goody giving everyone a go, to see what they can do and good on him, while we are winning it is really good team management to boost up the experience as well...

Really loving this success, with constant interest week to week.

Certainly beats the 'shuffling the deck chairs' feeling of the past umpteen seasons

Brayshaw deserves to be dropped. Was not mentally switched all game. Turnovers and that dropped chest mark in the square! Don't get me started

hell be back, better than ever

first times we've had actual competition for spots since I can remember.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
