Sparrow really should go out, but i'm not sure who comes in.

AWM should hopefully be better for the experience... disposal was a bit iffy at times but hopefully he cleans it up.

Turner might lose his spot if Petty is fit.

    Petty will play if he’s fit. Sorry to anyone who loves to pile on him.

    Should we consider sending Oliver to tag Merrett?

    He’ll take Turners spot I would think

    I think Petty will come in for Disco rightly or wrongly

    Would like to see AMW stay in

    Gawn missing that last quarter showed how desperate we are for a second ruck option. 
    If it was a close game, having to drag a red hot Roo out of the goal square in order to ruck, leaving Disco as the only tall, would have likely cost us the game.

    I don’t think Gawn would have come off if it was close, I actually think it was precautionary, a knock which could be strapped and fought through but the beauty of the lead

    AMW can't come out. We've got a real player on our hands with him 🙌

    I hope Turner doesn’t get dropped and is made the sub if Petty comes in. He can play at either end and provides good coverage if we have an injury to a tall. I really don’t think playing Woewodin or whomever for 15 mins is doing much so why not use it as insurance?

    When we beat north, I felt flat. Losing to Brisbane, strangely I felt a touch of hope. The win against West Coast felt just right. Looking forward to next Saturday night.

    I feel somewhat optimistic about our next game despite Essendon having a two day longer break than us between games

    Hoping there are many like-minded people as me that intend going to the game and making a lot of noise. After all it is our home game! Hope it feels like a home game for our boys (and supporters). GO DEES!

    It's a tough run home full of "8 point games".

    Need to win well next week and go to Perth full of confidence for our Freo rematch

    If we are going to make it Petty will need to play a big part

    If we manage to make the 8 and win a final, that would be a great season given the amount of young talent we’ve unearthed this season.

    I hope we don't look to rush Petty back into the side, especially considering today our forward line looked as dangerous as it has all season without him. Both Melksham and Turner deserve to hold their spots in the forward line for another week.

    Would like to see an unchanged side and Disco deserves another opportunity.

    I imagine Essendon supporters will have their chests pumping; hence we need to make them feel miserable again.

    Petty is too injured,distracted or not good enough in my view

    Team looks better without him

    He needs an attitude adjustment

    We must beat essendon. 

    Firstly because we need to keep winning to make finals

    Hate essendon and want them to lose

    Want essendon to drop down the ladder. They cannot finish in the top 4 & get a double chance

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
