Heard tonight that Max had scans on his ankle this morning. He might not be right for Saturday.

Some encouraging news.

We have the lowest percentage in the 8 and are only in there by 1 game and peple are thinking of resting players?
Give me a spell.

This is such an important item.

We need to deliver a thumping somewhere between now and the end of the H&A. I reckon we can get hold of North this weekend.

JKH good VFL player poor AFL one

Need to give him a chance to mature. we have far too often criticized players as not being up to it, to find ourselves being proven wrong. A couple of years ago Max was not highly regarded, Jetta couldnt cut it as a forward, Frost, both Mac's, ANB, Melksham, etc... he is young and needs some games.

I think that Vince's best position isn't off the half back flank. With Hibberd, Hunt, Salem and at time Lewis I think that's plenty of half back flankers bringing the ball out of defence. When Bernie was in good form for Melbourne he was playing in the midfield and off a wing. Remember in the first couple of seasons seeing him running and receiving the handball kicking 50m goals, that's the Vince we need back. I think we should push him back into the midfield and off a wing.

I think Gawn might be given a week off. Not sure if they want to play him at 50%.

jones might also be given another week.

pederson in for Gawn. 

Expecting Goldy to come back into the team and if he hits some form he usually hits the scoreboard too.

If Magic door stays in their team I would be more open to your suggestion.

There's training right now. I'll let someone actually there start the thread but suspect what's observed will colour our views re changes.

Im very curious.

damn just as we get a reminder of how awesome Gawn is in that first quarter - a dead set Star and game changer - he rolls his ankle.  ah well, could be worse, im sure he'll be right for the Great Western flogs next week

Peedo in for Gawn.

There are four interstate games being played this Saturday (including ours),  and not one of them will be on Channel 7.

 

Well seriously why would one broadcast a Norf home game before 55 spectators?

If Jetta is out Wagner comes straight back in and Pedo for Gawn if he doesn't get up. No other changes unless Jones is ready.

Did any one see Oliver at training if so how was he looking?

Yes and he looked fine

You prefer JKH to Trengove Barney?

That must mean you have very low opinion of Trengove.

No I didn't say that.

At the moment Trenners doesn't have the speed to play AFL.

I would like to see him play if he was 100%. I just don't think he ever will reach those heights again.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
