JVR needs to stop running under the ball. He can have a spell if he keeps that up 😩

    AJ might be suspended and Howes ain’t it IMO. Otherwise I’m happy for the same squad. I’m even OK if they give Howes another run given the injuries.

    AJ and Chandler might get suspended - if they are then it could be Laurie and… I have no idea who in, presumably not Billings or Woey 2.0

    Otherwise, no change unless May is returning

    I’d be giving Ollie Sestan a run.

    Not the worst suggestion. Howes I'm just not sure about.

    Against that, isn't Sestan still not quite up to it fitness-wise?

    Langford into the 22 if AJ gets suspended, beyond that no change

    Spoke to him during the preseason- he said he’s the fittest he’s ever been. I’d give him a game over Howes.

    Must have missed that. What did they do?

    I’m referring to Howes’ form but AJ made a pretty rough tackle in the last quarter. No concussion but drove head into ground. Can’t remember how they graded them last year but wouldn’t shock me if he got a week.

    Not sure about the dangerous tackles. I thought both times the GWS player had an arm free but maybe not. 

    Assuming no suspensions, Chandler may still be at risk. Howes was poor but who is better without McVee available?

    Out: Howes In: Billings 

    (Could be Adams, Sestan, Hore but doubt they’re ready. So Rivers back. Billings wing, Langdon mid/forward)

    Out: Langford In: Laurie 

    (no point having the kid as sub, he needs full games in the VFL).

    Disco and Spargo should both be in contention to get forward spots but it mighttake another week unless AJ is suspended

    I think the wind and the kickers are more to blame than JVR.

    Season starts in earnest next week.

    I was expecting a loss today but bitter that we lost a close one.

    North are stacked with talent but rarely put it together.

    This is simply a "must win" game

    OUT: AJ suspended, Howes too many pressure errors

    IN: Turner, Langford.

    Henderson to sub

    Chandler holds his spot, goes to sub when Kozzie returns.

    What's the go with Tickets for this game? Appears like the kids Junior tickets are valid in the membership App... But not the Adult... Assumed we'd get some sort of compensation for heading over there

    Also, where is the ground again!?! Been a while...

    • Haha 1

    I don't get the love for Sharp.

    Other then a run down tackle he was barely noticed. Jack Henderson showed more then him.

    Honestly, if his name was Jack Billings he'd be copping a pasting for that type of performance.

    I don't think we'll make any changes to be honest. I'd prefer not to see Sharp and especially Chandler who is just so meh for a small forward. He does nothing for me.

    I'd be looking at Kynan Brown for either of them.

    AJ 100% will be suspended for that dangerous tackle

    I didn’t think he drove the players head into the dirt, and it was not a sling, unlucky not to have gotten a free rather than give one away  but given the MFC luck and he is not a high profile player, and the MFC will not challenge. And they should. With a better solicitor mind,  not the recent fellow. 

    It's a must win next week. No excuses

    Turner is a very good mark & shot for goal. 

    How many chances do we give fritsch? No scores today & only a few marks.

    Fritsch won’t be dropped. Spargo must be half a chance, Kynan Brown also likely in the mix.

    • 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.

    • 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.
