I’ve had some bad doses of man flu as well.

But if Clarry is training as reported (away from the group), it can’t be that bad.

That’s what I thought as well. Did I also hear that he actually showed up to training as well? I mean if you have the flu, you ain’t getting out of bed, let alone  rocking up to training.

    It's a home game so should have GA access on your membership.

    One can just tolerate the GA seating allocated to members, but if you get up for a coffee or snack, or even go outside of the ground for a cigar (and your chauffeur delivering the cheese platter from the the boot of the Roller in the car park), whatever seat you initially chose will be gone and those selected by no-one will be the only vacancies. It would be most acceptable if in future football seasons the MFC demanded first-level frontal seats for Members GA (instead of FA) entry. We could all get together, then, and swap French bries, camemberts and other acceptable nibbles for the upwardly mobile citizens without flaw.

    You show excellent taste Deemania and obviously understand the laws governing the status of the riff raff.

    You would be a fine citizen of Romsey.

    Great looking team on paper this week really should win pretty easily (assuming Gawn and Oliver are ok)

    McDonald dropped?

    Must mean Petty is going forward again. 
    I guess no Lynch for the Tigers and Lever back is allowing us to do that. 
     

    My guess is also that Gawn will play most of the game at FF. Lowers the risk with the knee injury and gives us a proper focal point up forward.

    Good to see Jordon in the 22.

    An interesting group to choose a new sub from:  Laurie, Schache, Dunstan, D. Turner...

    Thought the same thing Jaded. Petty, JVR and Max must be the tall forwards. I like it. Lots of marking strength in that group.

    Good opportunity for JVR to take control of the forward line. 

    Will be interesting to see how he goes about it. 

    Good luck young fella.

    If McDonald can't hold down a spot with BBB out he must just about be heading for the exit. Not sure of his contract status, 1 year?

    Weird....Thursday TMac named in team and Schache can't make squad

    Saturday... no TMac and Schache named as emergency

    Perhaps TMac’s back is stuffed from copping a knee in it last week

    God Tom Sparrow is a cat with nine lives..

    Dropping Tmac was the right choice. It had to be done and I think unfortunately for him he just spends his days at Casey unless we're smacked with injuries.

    Don’t quite understand that logic, we are playing tall forwards made up of 2nd year player in van rooyen, a resting ruck and a unproven key back swinging fwd. All over a dedicated key fwd who kicked 4 goals only 2 games ago. Sure Tmac isn’t the bees knees but that lineup is asking for trouble.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
