An article in today's Age on the North Melbourne win and Brown's bag of goals states " North's final round opposition comes in the form of pitiful Melbourne. The medal is Brown's to lose"

I just hope we pick a side that is passionate enough to show some fight and pride and provide some glimmer of hope for we long suffering supporters.

We  won"t! Just watch Oscar if fit line up on him!

Fred Fannings record of 18 goals is there for the taking!!

    For those that are going to Blundstone, prepare for 25 minute waiting time for a beer or pie and 15 minute waiting times to take a leak. I shudder to think of the waiting time for the ladies...

    A disgrace of an AFL venue.

    Also be prepared to wait 25 minutes for Melbourne to score a goal each Qtr so co-ordinate your movements.

    put spargo on brown and we can all back brown to win the coleman.

    Not a bad idea.

    Was also hoping we'd rest Gawn this week and give little Charlie the gig on Goldstein.

    Is our 186 defeat in danger of getting beaten? 

    If it is, Goodwin should clear out his office and say his farewells.

    Oscar McDonald should play.

    Will give Sideshow Bob an escort to each of his 20 marks, and gives us a tall to stand the mark for each of the 15 goals he kicks.

     

    Sounds like Max will play (?WTF??!!).

    Chandler is out with a broken finger (how many times did Goody have to slam it in the locker, do you reckon?)

    SHould play Preuss and OMAc.  Play Max forward, Omac on McFlopper and Frosty on Norton.

    Presumably O'Mac and Petty come back in for ... whoever. We need some height, and they're the only ones left standing. One goes forward, one goes back, take your pick.

    Preuss ... maybe, he's been so underwhelming. Depends on Max.

    Rather see Spargo in the team at CHBack than have OMac back in the team...anywhere at all!

    Dont rest Max its the last game of the season, it would mean a lot to not get destroyed.

    Insanity. 

    Rest the f$&@ out of Gawn (and Lever). 

    Further to this, if Max does play and sustains a serious hamstring injury, Goodwin gets the sack immediately.

    Salem and Hibbo both in the rehab group today apparently. Could just be a light run given the time of year of course, but Salem surely in big doubt.

    Out 

    1. Inept Coaching
    2. Inept selections
    3. Players that clearly are not and never will be up to it ( That accounts for about 7 )

    In 

    1. Man on man footy
    2. Selections that include TALLS
    3. Inspirational Captaincy
    4.  Gut busting running and tough footy

    Who ever is still standing..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Get ready for a 10 goal loss, or more. The Kangas will murder us, for sure.

    I reckon they will think they have it won already and could be vulnerable....

    Footy can become that way, '...anyone who is fit...' gets a guernsey; sad really. I cannot remember (ever) feeling this way about a footy season - '...so this nightmare year is over...'

    If the MFC turns a corner with form and game readiness, I will renew membership after the 5th round of the 2020 fixture.

    What I'd really like to see is players who dominate at Casey play in the seniors in the same positions in which they dominate the seconds. In other words, I'd like to see what ANB and JKH might do as proper on-ballers rather than being played in different positions. I'm not sure who else, but I've never understood why they aren't given that opportunity or, conversely, why they don't play at Casey in the role they are expected to play in the seniors.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
