    Why not? Give him every chance to play. He is obviously very close 

    He is the best defender in the Competition

    "Why fly him up then?"

    May will be in the coaches box again.

    Not concerned about this. Tommo was good last week and probably unlucky to be dropped.

    Happy for May to take all the time he needs to be 100%

    Grundy is the main man tonight. Lot of teams have to get used to him in the forward line.

    Thanks very much for you help mate. Only tickets we could get are top their but above you guys at least, gate 8.

     

    By red time in the last they'll all have left so I can bring kids down the bottom 😂

    Given you’re at the game, I’ve got the pork belly on for you.

    You really think that the Lions coaching dept will be in a mad panic when they see Tomlinson run out instead of May?

    Every coach will tell you that late changes have zero impact on the opposition's game plan.

    Every coach would plan for and around May. Him not playing will change their plans.

    They were never going to risk him. I thought it was laughable that they’ll let our third most important player, aged 30, only have a week off with a calf strain. 
    If we win tonight I also don’t think they’ll risk him next week. It’s a very very long season.

    Don’t agree. 

    He will play when he is ready, whether we win this week or not, whether we’re flying or struggling. 

    For one, next week he can hold Buddy goalless for a third straight match.

    I wonder if they looked back on that final to see what Brisbane did and what we did wrong.

    Also wonder if they had a look to see what port did right to thrash them last week

    Don't worry folks. Tommo is an able replacement. Our system will hold firm.

    Goody spoke of that during the week.

    I mean of course they won’t risk him if he isn’t right. But I think if we win and he is right to go they might still choose to give him one more week just to be extra extra cautious.

    Such a nice feeling knowing we’ve got Tommo as a replacement.

    The club’s depth is going to pay dividends come finals.

    When May is ready to go, he will play.

    Next week Lance is going to play..

    I’m nervous. Not going to lie. 
    Brisbane are a hell of a lot better than they showed last week. They are also a much much better team than the Dogs.

    If we are as good as we think we are, we win this in a canter.

    • 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.
