You obviously didn't watch the Richmond game. McVee was 'invisible' because he was playing on Dusty. Dusty did SFA, and hence McVee won the day. He was super impressive against the Saints too. Th

$161 for 3 people to have a reserved seat at the footy is nuts. We’ve all be fooled

That is for sure! Who are these rancid, isolated opportunists?

And lastly, I bet that when Bowey debuted you thought "who and why", and he turned out to be a gun and best 22 players.

I remember getting into an argument with a poster here (can't remember who) that slammed Boweys selection. They more or less wrote him off from the start of the year because of his build stating he would get destroyed in finals. Was one of the more odd interactions I've had on here.

I've been watching our round 23 game from last season.  The one where we were up by 66 points at half time against the Lions and playing some great footy.  If we play anywhere near that level, the Bulldogs don't stand a chance.

Assuming Melksham who trained with the main squad at training today is the sub, the team changes from that night to tomorrow night are:-

OUT: Hibberd, May, Hunt, Jackson, Viney, Fritsch, Jordon (came on as medi-sub for Jackson)

IN: McVee, Tomlinson, Hunter, Grundy, Laurie, McDonald, Chandler

I'm not going to try and mount a case either way as to which night was the better line-up because as far as I see it, it's really quite close.

The outs are better than the ins. 

We lose our premier defender and our premier forward.

There are some terrific ins in Hunter, Grundy and T Mac, but I just feel the loss of May and Fritta tip the scales to last year's round 23 squad. We saw how we functioned without May in the Sydney, Collingwood (and most of Freo) losses and it wasn't great.

They're not doing this nonsense again are they? People's ground my [censored].

Must be predicting a crowd of sub 30,000 if they're closing the top of the Ponsford.

If they opened it up for the Melb V Freo game last year where just a couple of blokes and a dog sat up there, then surely it's opened for this one.

There was one game last year - either GWS or Freo - where they opened it by mistake and went around kicking people out at quarter time.

As if the top of the Ponsford is closed for Round 1? Just seems really odd. 

Yeah layz,  it states it on the MCG website when I last checked…baffling.

A lot of negativity with regard to the Tomlinson selection but we will not know how good or bad the selection is until the game is played. We could see Tmac and Tomlinson swapping ends if the game is going against us.  

Will be watching a replay during a stop over in KSA.

Would have gone Turner myself but i back the FD to make the right decision.

And best of luck Tommo. He deserves a bit more love around here given he was in AA form until he was injured in 21. And missed out on a premiership because of it.

How could sportsbet have us as favourites?

Bulldogs must be a huge chance now that May is also out.

There will be alot of money going on the dogs today before the odds even up.

I hope they know something we dont.

Who actually cares what those parasitic blights say about us?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
