Lynch's argument was that Brisbane's top liners in the midfield were at least the equal of Melbourne's or arguably better. To illustrate he asked Roos to name Melbourne's best midfielder, to which he eventually said Jones. Lynch responded with Beams being Brisbane's best. Straight off the bat you can see that he has a point. I love Jonesy but when he's named as the best midfielder you're not off to the most intimidating start.

 

Wouldnt give up Jones for Beams.

Their stats are almost identical, the difference being that Jones is a leader while Beams is not.

Lynch is kidding himself if he thinks their mids match up to ours. We have one of the best midfields in the league.

They are bottom 4 for a reason. No team with a great midfield has ever finished bottom 4.

I'm heading over for this game. If Rhys Mathieson plays for frees I will consider running onto the ground and throwing pitted kalamatas at him while beating him with a baguette.

Feeling positive after last weeks win, playing finals is looking likely and Brisbane are on the bottom of the ladder with little to play for, except draft picks.  Lions by 8 goals.

This will be Jesse's 50th game! It has taken 4 difficult years, with many obstacles.  Have huge admiration for how you have tackled and overcome them.  Congratulations on the milestone.

No, it's not the truth at all, at best it's your opinion. One obviously not shared by the medical and conditioning staff.

Well, of course its an opinion, what else would it be on this forum. Club Meds also have opinions on when someone should come back once an injury has healed. They then pass those opinions onto the selection committee about their likelihood to reinjure, level of conditioning and any residual pain.

So i guess it was just a co-incidence that all 4 players that recently returned from injury have really struggled then? Don't like the odds on tbat

Watts back in 2's

Salem in 2's

Gawn by his own admissions was average until recently

Viney played well against port and has been very average since despite his undoubted courage. Now has another foot injury caused quite possibly by compensating for the prior foot injury

Just a quick question,  if there's meaning in the voices, is it still psychosis  ??

Great opportunity for the Demons tomorrow to win heavily against one of the bottom teams who traditionally don't do that well in Melb mid winter outdoors! If we could have a big win aside from pushing us one week closer to a finals spot, could also start to build some momentum for a decent crack at winning a final.

Plus games into Jones, Hogan, Brayshaw & Vince after injuries & suspensions will be a plus. Putting pressure on Watts, Salem, Bugg & co to really fight for a spot in the team.

Re Lynch, there a good, bad & delusional  commentators, he's obviously had too much sun living up North!

Go Dees, don't screw up & we have & know how, but go out & win by ten G's tomorrow!

So just to clarify - if we win tomorrow, we definitely play finals? 

If we absolutely smack them by 12 goals...

The Eagles would have to do something similar against the Crows in Perth next week.

We need to all but seal the deal vs. the Bears. I'm not concerned that the Collingwood players will lift to farewell Buckley, but they will play as if free of him. Their list is more talented than their game-plan, and if they decide that there's no fun to be had in circle-work and choose to go direct we could be playing a dangerous, unaccountable beast.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
