I love the attitude... [censored] picks. I just want wins, if that means 9th place finish with pick 10 as apposed to a pick 3 I really don't care. We can just draft another Christian Salem rather than a toumpass 

Absolutely. We need more than anything else to establish a culture of winning.

We have had 55 years of not winning. Done that.

I would love it if we win enough game to make 9th.

I look forward to the posts on DL bemoaning the crows and WC losses. 

Look at our last effort to bottom out. Netted us money bags, trenners and the toump (sounds like a bad SA breakfast radio slot). All gone.

Win. Win. Win. i for one have watched enough bloody losses by my team.

Not sure if many follow the NHL around here, but here is an optimistic story for every Demonlander.

The St. Louis Blues were dead last in the NHL on January 3rd this year (that's 31 teams). This was around the halfway mark of the season. They then went on a huge run, made it into the playoffs and are now one game away from winning the Stanley Cup (series lead 3-2).

Maybe we shouldn't give up just yet?

Also [censored] the Bruins

TMac is fine - it's the midfield

Have to respectfully disagree on this one.

Did Lever get through todays training session??

[DubDee 26,191]

Man it is exciting having May and Lever in the 18. 

JKH bit stiff to miss out but he did butcher the ball. Hannan was more deserving of the chop but stays in for positional need and as he is a better player

INT: Spargo - Hibberd  -Stretch - Preuss - Weed - ANB - Garlett - Wagner

My guess: Hibberd, Weed, Garlett, ANB

out Wagner, Spargo, Stretch, Wagner

Contrary to popular opinion I don't agree with everything this FD does, I'm struggling to justify the Lever selection.  If he doesn't get seriously re-injured then I guess they're vindicated.

I like the ins. Would be happy to see Hore, Salem and may or lever back. Not sure if we should play both lever and may due to match conditioning. 

Im just happy that we no longer have to hear about Jack watts and his debut game and hear the pies people say it's our grand final.

I know that teams rarely line up as selected but I do like Salem and Baker on the wings.  Both have nice kicks, have composure and aim at targets rather random bombs. 

And add Fristch as the attacking defender and we should see a marked improvement in delivery i50 from all three.

Sorry LH, I was a bit too excited when reading it. Just popped up on the MFC site.

But, but ... all the experts on here told me he was going to Collingwood, for certain.

This deserves its own thread.

Would you like to do the honours or shall I?

Agree 100%. I hated the tanking year then and still do. That Richmond game Is in my top 3 of the worst games I have witnessed. Win as many as possible and worry about the rest in September.

Have you seen the video of Lever's rehab in the USA?

It made me cringe when I was watching the amount of force and twisting and turning he was putting on his knee - and that was in January!

[Nasher 33,617]

Final bench for mine would be Hibberd, Weideman, Garlett and Spargo. 

In: Lever, May, Hore, Salem

Out: Kennedy-Harris, O.McDonald, Stretch, J.Wagner

Goody may go with Preuss instead of Spargo, but I don’t think so.

Not sure if the link works but that's great that the boys will be leading melbourne out. I did think it was something the club should do, it's only a small think but it could give the boys just a little lift. I thought it could be done at a home game, not sure why but queens birthday is pretty special though.

Link doesnt work as the classy herald Sun have put the article  behind a paywall.

Lets profit off the death of a 40 year old woman and her grieving sons.  Brilliant!

Settle down.

Just down at Rye for the weekend and every second car in a very busy car park at woolies has demons member 2019 stickers on the back. Don’t think we we have many at the game come Monday ?

PS no snow here so not sure what we’re all going to do for the weekend? Drink?
