Any whispers or inside word on who might come in this week? Preuss is a lock, given Gawn was smacked last time around. I feel Gawn will spend a large chunk of the game at FF. Anyone else interesting?

    I understand the Match Committee is checking to see if we have anyone on our list by the name of Lazarus.

    He'd be getting on a bit but we might be able to snaffle him in the mid season draft

    Think Gawn will spend more time floating across the backline which is where they will hurt us. Pruess will do the ruckwork forward of centre

    I heard there’s a broom in the cupboard that’s been in decent form, it might be a chance of getting selected.

    According to Wikipedia, Gary Lazarus kicked 206 goals in 132 games. Not bad from the back pocket!

    Not so sure on that, they only played 1 ruck last week (Vardy) with Oscar Allen the back up. We might decide to use Tim Smith to back up Gawn and then include another mobile forward option like Baker or ANB to replace Melksham.

    Sustaining really high forward pressure and locking the ball forward might be the only way to stop their forwards tearing our backline apart.

    Baker to debut...

    Confirmed?

    Preuss for Keilty 

    ANB for Melksham

    Baker it Petty for Hibberd

    We don’t really have many defenders left. I can’t see them debuting Jordan just yet. Wagner has been in good form in the VFL but we don’t necessarily want another small forward in.

    The broom has osteitis pubis so I’m going with: 

    Out: Melksham, Keilty, Hibberd

    In: ANB, Preuss, Petty

    I reckon Tim Smith to get the call up rather than Petty. Petty is built like Cale Morton.

    Fair call, I didn’t realise he was available.

    Cale Morton went to West Coast for pick 200 but was delisted shortly after so he wont play. But Tim Smith would be a good chance.

    Melksham out I would look to bring in Tim Smith and ask him to play a similar game as Melk. Run through the midfield every now and then and play high half forward.

    Hibberd out then move Fitsch back there to keep some run out of the back line. Anb to come back or maybe Ossie Baker gets a run. it may be too much of an ask to debut him in Perth against WC. it may scar him for life.

    Preuss for Keilty. Dec has had a taste and now knows the steps he needs to take. let him mature some more at Casey.

    Maybe put it in a book. "Confessions of a Corporate Box Invitee". Then there was the time the boss brought his very religious wife with him. Turned out she was more than a little saucy! I had no sooner sat down next to her ...

    I think you're mixing up events. I was talking about the football on Friday night. You seem to be referring to Scott Morrison's chances the following day.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
