Good to see the selection committee have made a statement dropping an underperforming senior player...oh wait they dropped a kid and let senior blokes continue to coast and set the poor standard!

This club is weak. Nothing changes. 

If you know it all what would you have done?

    I too am really [censored] off at the moment and decided not to attend on Saturday. However, @Moonshadow , pleaded with me to go because he has no friends and is uncomfortable being alone.

    Anyway, for some reason, a sliver of optimism has been ignited and I think we have some chance. My main concern is who is going to kick goals to give us a winning score. I really hoped Preuss would be back as he appears to be good for a couple himself but, more importantly, gives us some structure.

    Dropping Weid won't make much difference because he's given us [censored] all this year. We urgently need TMac to regain some form and god help us could we find a crumber.

    I've said it before but I would like to see Jones playing forward pocket.

    Truth be told, I'm more uncomfortable sitting next to you than surrounded by people. However, your 'get-up' seems to create a large number of vacant seats in the area, so it's less crowded and easier to spread out. I'm ok with what you wear, others are not. Each to their own!

    I would play OMac forward, and agree with Bitters - Jones to the forward line.

    Surely spending 4 quarters back at Casey was all that Oscar and Wags needed to develop their skills and regain their confidence. Obviously an easy selection decision.

    Oh dear. Just when you thought things could not get any worse. Fifth loss for the year on our home turf. How’s the “cauldron” looking Goody?

    Need oMac back for Roughead so Frost can play on Mitchell Lewis and/or McEvoy resting.

    I’m actually a fan of the changes. 

    Harmes and Stretch on the Wing. 

    Salem in the middle

    Fritsch and Tmac back forward

    Hunt running off half back

    My biggest concern is the weather. Looks like it is now forecasted to rain during the afternoon.

    Good god.. how we continue to put games into a [censored] spud in McDonald is just mind boggling.. Should have given Keilty or Petty a shot. 

    Our season is finished and we have this useless [censored] coming back into the team.. 

    Riveting selections.

    Any hope I had for a win has vanished with this team selection. 

    Really confusing stuff once again.

    It’s not like we have a strong list of players who could have come in. Bar a player debuting, it was always going to be ‘meh’.

    in hindsight, the club completely overrated the list and got rid of some decent depth. I would have much preferred the inclusions of Bugg, Tyson or Kent. 

    ET.  of the kids we took in,  we won't know for at least another 12 months,  the way they're shaping.

    I actually like the types we took,  relative to the picks we had to use.

    IMO,  its the previous two drafts, that left us wanting for run and dash.

    Not so much. Anything to help get Fritsch back up the ground where he belongs is a step in the right direction IMV. Also, Fritsch forward frees up Petracca to do some of the on-ball heavy lifting.

    Of course, best laid plans ...

    Which half-forward do you think is keeping Fritta out of the F50,  'b181'.?

    Off on a tangent, but Collingwood are so stacked right now they're dropping Varcoe despite him being a gun. Really wish we'd gotten him for Clarke, instead of Lamumba. He'd be a handy player to have in the team covering the ground. Exact player we need.

    I would have persisted with Weideman, but it's easy to understand the logic.

    Win and no-one will be complaining.

    Yeah but if he was playing for us right now John, he would be a spud. Just ask any Geelong supporter. Downhill skier of the highest order.

    I think Bitters might stiffen the backline.

    With Preuss unavailable, would like to have seen Keilty debut; see if he could have made an impact as. Forward/Ruck.

    Maybe if we swap the forward line with the backline?

    Yup.  Seemed an obvious selection.

    • 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.
