    Not messing about there. Interesting if Bedford is the sub ahead of Rivers, and Mitch Brown is the tall emergency.

    Whether posters think he is ready or not it is bloody exciting to have Salem back. When I think of him I think of his first quarter of the GF...what a player!

    Wow 5 changesย 

    Rivers did need a break I thinkย 

    14 disposals last week, so I like the idea of a rest rather than dropped through poor form. Heโ€™s been pretty good all year.ย

    Been a long time since we made 5 changes but other than Thommo for May, the incomers all improve the side

    Thought they might have been a touch conservative with Salem and had him come back via Casey....

    Not surprised by Rivers, not changing a winning team probably has kept him in ....

    Gotta feel for Bedford. I thought he was very good when he had opportunities last week.ย

    I am astounded Salem is in. 5 mins in first game the ten weeks on the side lines with a knee injury a large part of which would involve no running. Hope to God they have this right as he is our best kick and we have sorely missed him the last 10 weeks.ย

    Excellent. Last week was not good enoughย 

    changes were needed. Bedford a little stiff but he is still learningย

    Ben Brown slightly lucky, wouldn't want another game with a handful of touches and no goals. Equally, need better entry into the forward line.

    The teams looks so much better.ย ย 

    Mitch Brown lurking in the emergencies - better play well Brown and T Mac!

    Swap May with Tommo and thatโ€™s our best 22 right there.ย 

    Spot on. But I do have a soft spot for Hibberd in defence.

    Was very happy he was in the PF 22 when May went down

    He was the most like for like and his form hasnโ€™t been as good as Bowey

    Hunt plays a different role to Rivers and you wouldnโ€™t have Salem or Rivers then playing that role; Hunt has played it well this year.

    I called it a few weeks ago on a FB group that I thought Rivers would be the most logical replacementโ€ฆ.itโ€™s stiff, but thatโ€™s what this team has gotten to nowย

    I like the boldness of the changes. Great to see Salem straight back in. I hope Rivers is the medi-sub. Last week we were caught out with replacing our best defender with midfield back up. I know we didn't know May was gonna fall but I couldn't help but wonder how the game would've been different if we had Tomlinson as the sub.ย  As a general rule it would be good to see us play it safe and have a defender as the medi-sub.

    Very happy with this. Not concerned about Salo as he completed the entire pre-season and by all accounts most of our training sessions are as hard as the real thing anyway. Roll on Saturday night.ย

    Salem is a HBF. If he is right to play he should play for Melbourne.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayโ€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andย  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
