They only have one tall. I assume frost gets Mihocek. May to Elliott. Omac is surely surplus to needs this week. Hire hopefully late in for Omac. Although I suspect Lever a chance to miss.

    Winnable game may be lost at selection. I hope not, it would be great to beat Collingwood as they run to the finals.

    And yet people get called all sorts of things when you criticize the Club here. I just assume they do not realise you can love the jumper, the team and the player and at the same time hve little or no respect for the Club based on 55 years of failure and mismanagement

    You can’t build a players trade worth playing them in the twos...

    I wonder if they'll try Wills (a mid) up fwd - 192cm

    Magden also 192. a defender they might play fwd as they have Roughhead, Scharenberg and Howe down back

    So I reckon O Mac will take one of those 2 donkeys.  talk about your mouth watering match ups!

    Easy peasy!  We are going all out for a Casey finals berth.

    Hore helps Casey's cause!

    but ..........................!

    The only reasonable explanation I can think of for OMac getting a game along with Frost, Lever and May is that one of them is going to play forward/ruck.

    That does not sit well with me.

    Hore should be playing, OMac shouldn't, and we should still be able to find someone to relieve Gawn.

    Given the weather forecast, Collingwood’s form and our form the clubs bottom line is going to take a massive hit tomorrow hard to see more than 35,000 there. As we seemed to have learned nothing this year and wet weather footy on the cards I am predicting another easy loss coming up.

    Are we trying to have the slowest and oldest wingers in the comp - maybe ever?

    YEP and a natural inside on baller in the back line

    Is Goodwin trying to Destroy Brayshaws' career?

    Hopefully Hore will be a late in. This is a huge opportunity for our mob to show they can play wet weather football. In the wet it becomes a commitment game. This is not coming as a second half surprise. We all know what it's going to be like. In some senses the wet is a leveller. The game is not as quick although skills still count (gulp!) as Richmond showed last week. Bring the right attitude and we could surprise. 

    Hallelujah! I still believe!

    May, Lever, OMac and Frost all named against a short Collingwood forward line, in the wet. Surely there'll be at least one late change?

    My guess is May will play forward and Hore in for OMac.

    I legit cannot in the world find a simple Match up for McDonald.  

    The only reason I can think of is that we are now officially tanking for Noah Anderson. 

    It's an absolute joke that Omac continues to get a game. Yet to find a supporter who thinks he deserves hit spot.

    Then you have the problem as you"ve stated, who the F*** does he match up on?

    • 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.
