    looks a bit like Darren Lehmann here 

    Outside of Tulip, Fowler, Hardeman, Big Carl, Henry Coles, Peter Giles, Greg Wells and that champion Phil Carmen, Bakes was easily my favourite player of that era.

    Would rathered Harmes for Milkshake! Spargo extremely lucky

    Think you should throw in Hunt and Hibberd 

    can only think each had specific goals or run with roles to shut down specific players. Not sure that held with our pour conversion into scores or the ease the ball came out of our 50

    still think this side should beat the blues

    go dees do it Saturday just for me!

    My initial response was FMD ……. but  I took a deep breath and reflected on last weekend.  It was perhaps the best game of footy for the season, huge stakes between two top teams, enormous pressure and some important breaks went against us.  We lost by only a few points, with lots of upside to the level we know that we can play at (eg. goal kicking and delivery to our forwards).  I’m okay with no changes in those circumstances.

    Dees by 29 points after some wasteful kicking for goal. I am not a praying man but I am praying that we are seeking an extra goal kicking forward to play beside BB, Fritta and JVR next year.!!!!

    What's the chances of a shock Weid comeback at Milkshake's expense ?

     

    Surely Goodwin is not that foolish? In the eyes of so many supporters and members, he'd lose his job.

    Maybe goody thought a sneaky late change of the Weid in is better than Thurs night, in case Sam reads Demonland?!

    Putting aside the “one week at a time”…..

    Obviously we need to win out last two games to finish 2nd. In addition we need the Swans to beat Collingwood this Sunday, the other factor is percentage. 
    Sydney play Collingwood and the Saints, Saints are still a chance to play finals although it seems unlikely. I think we can beat Brisbane next week but it may not be as easy as it was after the bye. This Saturday night is our chance to put some space between our percentage and that of Sydney’s. Leigh Mathew’s said during the week he didn’t like discussing percentage with his players as he thought it detracted from the task at hand, I thought players were better than that. Break it down in it’s simplest form, aim to win each quarter by 4 goals. Cripps or no Cripps we have them covered. Time to start handing out some lessons again.

    I didn't expect it to happen either 'mania. The point I was getting at ( and I stated it explicitly later) is that I don't like the idea of going into the finals with only one tall forward. Unfortunately, unless they were going to give the kid ( JVR) a go we have no options except Weid.

    However, tonight's selection confirms that that is the way we are going

    Wouldn't matter if he did read Demonland, '64, he's already had thousands of treatises, reports, theses, intense and widespread analysis including measured advice and fault correcting suggestions (ad nauseum) from the foundation of the football club - US!

    Such extensive contributions to his onfield well-being have so far been wilfully ignored or 'placed into the too-hard basket'.

     It does not auger well, I am afraid; still, who are we to consider alternatives?

    Let’s hope if Gawn is forward more that he fixes his goal kicking. 

    Not much point in having him there to kick points. 

    Gawn has a career goalkicking record of 86 goals 78 behinds and this season has kicked 11 goals 13 behinds.  After the Swans game he was on 11 goals 9 behinds.  By comparison Petracca has kicked 16 goals 27 behinds.  Gawn's last couple of games have had some average shots, but over the season he's not far off 50/50.  If Tracc had been anywhere near that we win at least two more games, and top 2 is locked away.

    • 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 yesterday’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 and  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 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.
