Think not picking JVR for this game and relentlessly picking Melksham is an indictment on our selection panel. Yet it doesn’t surprise me. Goodwin has his favourites.

    INS – Melksham, Turner
    OUTS – Oliver (personal), Fullarton (omitted)

    Fascinating. No JVR - who gives Maxy a chop out?

    Happy with the ins,

    Jvr needs another couple good weeks against decent opposition.

    Now with mcvee back it frees up rivers or Windsor to shift mid. Id get Caleb to the wing and Langford to play majority clarry minutes in the guts

    Let’s hope that’s the last we see of Fullarton

    Would prefer Turner back to intercept and Petty fwd/ruck

    Petty I'd assume, he's actually not a zero in there.

    Well one change makes sense. Assuming Disco back and Rivers into the pivot from Clarry.

    The other one? Fritsch and Melksham in the same forwardline and no back up ruck/forward in JVR, Johnson or Campbell. It’s not like they can build form at Casey with no game.

    • Shocked 1

    It would have been good to see JVR build on his 5 goals but that'll have to wait until next week because Casey have a bye.

    I don't know how playing a 33 year old who isn't in stellar form himself over our most promising key forward makes sense.

    Don’t think JVR and Melk were really competing for the same spot.

    With our new game plan, I think we need Melk with his great kicking and fast ball movement.

    But I am surprised we are going so short up front

    Also Tom Mac.


    Turner forward or back?

    Not a fan of a single key forward and Eagles have a tall forward line.

    Rivers presumably gets full midfield minutes

    Not if we play Turner forward?

    Absolutely staggered that JvR wasn't selected. Wtf

    I’m surprised too

    possible though we didn’t rate AJ and JVR dominating in a 120 pt smashing. JVR has been poor all year. I don’t him earning his place over a couple of weeks

    Would have picked AJ though

    Disco

    I know I'm being impatient but teams aren't available for view on the MFC or AFL app, nor any other games except for tonight. Anyone else having the same problem?

    im not sure the teams are final. The AFL site still has "Full teams to be announced". Some clubs with TBC etc.

    Surprised Fritta still in the side, not really.

    Surprised Melk in the side, not really.

    Surprised no proper back up for Maxy, not really.

    Not really surprised by any selection or non selection really. SSDW.

    True but then it’s just old mates May and Tom at the back against the tall Eagles

    I can hear a hamstring popping already

    Max has had a 9 day break, settle down people!!

    I’m sure one of Petty, Turner & Tmac will give him a chop out

    Wish they could give Laurie a go, would’ve been a good chance with Clarrie out 35 poss last week & 2 goals all be it against very ordinary opposition

    Wishing clarry all the best.

    Thought we’d get Turner and Laurie in. Little perplexed but go team

    • 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.
