Dean Kent just limped off at Saints training and likely to miss this week and maybe more.

So, who will play first - Kent or AVB?

    I am neither here nor there with Richo - I am wondering what the powers that be, see as the value that he would bring, and for what role?

    Would rather try and get Balmey back.  Success seems to follow wherever the old statesman goes.  Love his " say alot but give nothing" banter with the usual press injury questions also!

    I think Goody's been copping it more for the "after match" pressor responses EG.  Not sure he even deals with the standard injury stuff during the week.  In fact i can't recall who does down there.

    You certainly haven't seen / heard any of that the from myself.  The whole pressor scenario is a complete sham/circus with pretty much the same inane questions every week.  Don't really care how Goody handles them.   What he's doing/saying within the four walls is all that matters IMV.

    Personally I don’t see the appeal. Goody doesn’t know how to set up and play at the ‘G. We need a coach who has come from a successful club who’s home ground was the same as ours.

    Richo had no issue playing the G when he met us.

    Won 3 of 4 meetings at the G.

    I think that was more to do with his opposition rather than the venue.

    Yeah - let's get Malthouse. Could be a director of coaches?

    20 or so people who contribute to the Herald Sun were asked at the start of this season who would make the top 8. Malthouse was the only person who didn’t tip Melbourne to finish in the 8. He was lambasted at the time. Maybe he’s not a crazy old coot.

    As someone said he is very much the alpha male and I cant see him fitting in and supporting - he would want to be the dominant force. Pass.

    Ha! Madhouse hates us. Had always have us outside the 8.

    Regardless, he's a crazy old coot

    It's not about having any claim to fame on the G...nor having won a bit of silverware. It's really about having a footy brain and a normal brain that knows when to do what. I for one wouldnt judge anyone per se just  because of a StKilda association. There is no stranger fish than the StKFC. But he seems a reasoned and experienced football mind that seems capable of bending like a tree. We've got to many rock -types currently.

    Hell...he has our lot sussed.

    I saw him over summer down the surf coast with his missus. He was cracking it because pedestrians were walking on the wrong side of the footpath.

    I saw him in the city the other day. He was yelling at a young yahoo on one of those new fangled scootery thingos.

    Malthouse was probably telling the tree how poplar he is.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
