Has everyone forgotten about Schache, he was the preferred tall not that long ago!

    You are better off bringing Joel Smith to play that role. He has the height and athleticism to go with him. 

    It’s an option for sure he has the defensive prowess and can work off him.

    I can't believe how many people look to smith, he will get gobbled up at AFL level (again).

    This could be a blessing in disguise, who ever comes in should get this 4 block period to nail that spot.  Hopefully they lock it in and petty can return to def, i really think we are missing him back there.

    @dees189227 had his toe jammed between the ground and another player, it caused a sprain in one of the foot ligaments.

    Wasn't McDonald picked as an emergency last week, sort of points to him getting the nod this week.

    Yep, T-Mac is next in line and he can play the role (lead up CHF) that Petty was playing

    Brown is more a deep forward (JVR's role) and Schache is there in reserve for one of the ruckman

    I’m guessing that is a polite way of saying someone stepped on his toe?

    The doc found it interesting and Jaded No more found it disastrous.

    I am leaning towards Jaded's view on this one.

    My understanding is this had nothing to do with what happened in the game and that this toe jam stuff is merely a cover.

    Apparently he got wind of the MRO crappa on Sparrow and hunted Christian down.

    Pssst....this hasn't gotten out of the four walls yet so mum's the word!

    No way. The only person who's forgotten about him is Bevo. In fact, I'm tipping him to have a career breakout game at Casey next week.

    Sounds like it is the end of the world...our third defensive tall and makeshift foward has gone down for 4 to 6. Thought Melbourne was supposed to be a top team. Currently within an injury list most teams would kill for.

    Disappointing for Petty who was finding form and starting to hit the score board too. 

    Those that have called for Melk or Smith to play a defensive forward role on Alir are on the money IMO.

    Time for Big Ben Brown to step up. van Rooyen to play Petty's role.

    • 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 return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
