Elliott, Goldsack,Wells & Greenwood all likely to be out.Maybe things turning our way. Also first time in awhile not facing a team on the rebound. Be great if Hogan played!

    Can't wait - bring it on. Go Dees.

    You'd think greenwood and Goldsack with knocks should be fine to play. Wells looks no chance and we'll wait to see on Elliot. 

    Pies playing pretty well at the moment so will be a tough game. Grundy will carve us up without a ruckman

    Goldsack more than a 'knock'. If he plays a shoulder requiring surgery will have to hamper him.Greenwood I believe is a muscle injury which typically become worse after cooling down.Might get up but doubtful. Wells & Elliott definite outs.

    Adams said that Dunn had not played in "a real successful club and was loving it at Collingwood". Dumb but shouldn't make a difference.Why say it though? Mind u, wouldn't be happy if one our blokes had done the same.Reminds me of Dawes saying that the Hawks were 'ripe for the picking'. We got smashed.

    Goldsack was in a lot of trouble. Wouldn't have played out the game if they weren't down men already.  Highly doubtful IMO

    Because Taylor Adams knows all about success. You know, with his career high ladder position being 11th.

    Wish I could be there. This should be one of the biggest QB games for a long time. Both teams aren't in the most amazing form but both have shown good patches through the year and a win is important for both teams season. A loss for either side will be big too. 

    Hope to see a sea of Red and Blue at the MCG.

    Maybe that's why Dunn loves being there, he's in his comfort zone.

    Wow, a few key Collingwood players could be out! A chance to maybe move up to sixth in our marquee game? What can go wrong? We don't ever let these kind of opportunities slip.

    Good win by the Pies today but Freo were shizen. Sandilands was a big miss. Fyfe had to do some rucking!Collingwood injuries came late. Hill was injured early on for the Dockers and had little influence. Pies have won three in a row but struggled in this and average against the Hawks & Lions. Our biggest concerns are coming off the bye and no Gawn.

    So he was stating the obvious?

    Queens birthday Facts:

    Pies

    -back from travel to WA,

    -2 huge outs, 2 more possible, 

    Dees

    - fresh after the bye

    - possible return of Hogan or even Gawn

    Both teams

    - season defining game

    - spot in the 8 on the line

    blah, blah, blah, I can see a humiliating loss.

    hope I'm very, very wrong

    How much success has Adams seen at AFL level... Gees he loves media street.

    I can see this being a very close game as there is a lot on the line for both teams.

    If we get Spencer back in the ruck I will feel a lot more confidant going into the game.

    Hopfully we get the chocolates

    Jeez, my stomach is already knotting up like game day...still 8 days to get through! 

    Must. Crush. Filth.

    Fair bit of upside for us this week.

    Pies return from Perth with injuries.

    Salem back in, which will improve our disposal.  Maybe Hogan back  too.

    Hunt should be better than last week and Tom Mac would have to be. Lewis's first half last week was diabolical and he should improve. Melksham found some form. Hannan continues to improve, Wagner too. Petracca had a poor one and will have a big crowd to lift him. 

    It is effectively an 8 point game, so a win to us could kill off the Pies.
    We are back at the G even though we haven't played well there this year, so something to prove there as well.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
