Speaking from numerous unfortunate experiences involving Melbourne in the past several decades, let me caution those who are getting excited or carried away by West Coast’s injury woes. 

I know that we have a quality side these days but history tells us that often when teams have their backs to the wall in terms of injuries, they can still be hard to toss. The Saints of Rounds 1 to 3 are a good example and I remember a game against Hawthorn a few years back when they had a long injury list but still managed to give us a flogging. 

I hope we approach the game with a business as usual approach.

    Having access to the mindstream of a narcissist and fanatic nuffie from an opposition cheer squad is one of the downsides of social media

    OMG, that's embarrassing.

    On another note, perhaps it could be thay those mad Monday antics of Dangerfield, Hawkins, Selwood and Co are pretty close to reality.

    Just for Catman's information, I think the rest of the comp thinks the real conspiracy was that Geelong even won it last year in the first place.

    Let’s not forget the loss to the Essendon Top Up team during the Drug Saga.

    So who's the No.1 draft pick that next week's grudge match with Hawthorn will battled out for bottom spot?

    It would be like 2008 in reverse.  Hawthorn feeling Geelong taking something from the before their time is due.

    Great to see Matt Rowell get back to his stellar career start after awful injury setbacks:  "... putting together three brilliant performances. He had 28 disposals to stand almost one-out against Sydney, followed it with 22 against Essendon and then racked up 24, along with game highs in contested possessions (18), clearances (nine) and pressure acts (30) vs Geelong".

    That is an unreal set of numbers!  Reckon he will give the Brownlow a bit of a shake this year. 

    iirc mid last year someone from the club said GCS had been the hardest game.  It was at Metricon where this year's game will be.  I'm sure we won't take it lightly.

    How I would love at the hawks to pull an effort out this week. 

    I just don't want Geelong to get the number 1 pick.

    I hope they can crawl back their way on the ladder and finish 10th.

    I'm not a fan of expecting wins by certain margins because of this reason. We may end up getting a routine win but they may push us till the last quarter. Win first, everything else second.

    West Coast will try to bring us down to their level. It could be a real scrap for a while 

    I would be planning very carefully if i was Goodwin

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
