Gutsy calls by Pyke to drop Eddie and Hinkley to drop Dixon.

Also a gutsy call a few weeks for Teague to drop McGovern for being unfit, not to return until he is.  Big call for a coach wanting to win every game.  Good on him for setting standards early.

Good examples of difficult calls to maintain the integrity of selection decisions and set behavioural standards; Walk-the-Talk.

The ever classy Betts:  “Yes a bit disappointed on being dropped,” Betts said.  “But at the same time super excited that this kid gets another run at AFL level, turn it on little brother.”

    I think I want the tigs to beat the pies. 

    If there can be some miracle performed so the suns can beat essendon this week that would be great, but it won't happen. 

    I reckon Carlton can beat the crows.

    Richmond looking unbeatable.

    2 very high quality talls and the resting ruck. Following that up with remarkable skill when the ball hits the deck.

    Tigers coming good at the right time of year, will be flag favourites after tonight if they weren’t already

    Is Buckley the Right Guy?

    Yeah, at least for another couple years.

    Injuries + loss of confidence = sound familiar?

    Collingwood board on Bigfooty is in meltdown atm.

    There is a huge disconnect between Grundy and their mids atm. They are quite literally struggling in the same areas we are.

    Yep, and with a game plan that is closest in style to ours of any team.

    But hold on, i thought the pies, cats, west coast slow, chip it around, cross to the fat side  and maintain possession model is unbeatable and  where the game is heading and Goody has failed to keep up with premiership winning trend in footy.

    I'm confused. Perhaps that's the not the case after all.

    Commentator watch:  Mr Ling was able to say ‘lowered the eyes’ three times in about 20 seconds.  A pumpkin that love the sounds that his farty breath makes.  Severn team are ‘boisterous briahhhn, creepy Bruce and special comments from the peanut brigade.

    Every time De Geoy goes near the ball he looks for a free kick. Arms flapping and head flying back

    I am very angry that Eddie has been allowed to stay in the Media unscathed, after his King Kong comments, twice...

    It really stinks

    “They’re a couple of good looking boys, Eddie’s kids” - Bruce going full creepy ped. 

    I didn’t year that but a couple of comments later were ...... well, quite creepy.

    Sad really.  Gone on far too long.  Was one of my favorites early on.

    • 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.

    • 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.
