Really hope that all the keyboard heroes on this site who enjoy calling Clarry fat, lazy, unmotivated and so forth when they know absolutely stuff all, sit the [censored] down and shut the [censored] up.

Jaded where have you been, missed your input!

    Fair bit of chat on this thread that the Eagle's match is danger game. I reckon the only sense in which it's a danger game is the fallout of a loss.

    This is the first time all season I've been confident of win.

    They can have as many crisis meetings as they like but that won't change the fact they are clearly not fit enough and are coming off a six-day break (after having to fly from Melbourne, after a late Sunday arvo game, and arriving back in Perth midnight Sunday night

    I think we will:

    • look to attack and be aggressive with our ball movement from the get-go

    • really look to spread them and use the width of Optus oval

    • do so by using short kicks to switch and hit up players leading at the ball carrier

    • control the tempo with short kicks until we can 'press go' and then go forward quickly

    • use the corridor more than we have been

    • use lots of long forward handballs

    • kick our highest score thus far

    • win by 64 points

    If we don't win the fall out will be vicious.

    So many things in our favour and the fact we're playing on a Sat night is an added bonus.

    I think Oliver is replaceable but prefer him playing. I wonder if Culley is seen as a possible replacement?

    Like for like in my book, but I think Laurie probably has earned the call up.

    Goodwin said before round 1 he still has work to do to get back to his best, I think this is all part of that journey, good news is it sounds like him and the club are on the same page these days.

    I hope the media and the football world can just leave Oliver alone this week, and get on with the business of the games and players involved.

    I'm sure there'll be plenty to talk about. Hopefully one of those things is 3 in a row for the Dees.

    Assuming this is a joke? It is the same time/same day every week. Which is a Thursday. At 6.30pm

    I enjoyed watching prime Clarry. Chill out Jaded.

    Happy for people to discuss replacements for Clarry while he is out but please respect his privacy regarding the mental health stuff and leave it at that.

    I find the notion that we should be lying about a mental health issue puzzling. Not sure who that helps.

    If it was a joke then I would have made it funnier, and FYI I checked after I wrote (which I should have done before), and the AFL site tells me it's actually 6:20 (so there!)

    • 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.
