    Maybe hope their bathwater is tastier than ours?

    There's certainly a lot more of it!

    Need height down back but not sure we’ve got any that will actually stop them. It would be Adams for Howes and he’d have to play on Naughton and let Disco intercept. We probably just go Disco on Naughton and hope Howes and Rivers can offer some chop out.

    Can’t do much for the midfield. Not sure there’s any need to swap the starting small forwards. JVR isn’t going well but not sure this is a Jeffo game.

    I’d go Lindsay sub again and have Sharp at Casey because he needs full games.

    Baptism of fire for Adams to go up against Darcy/Naughton

    True, would be a tough first game but there are no easy ones left and it’d be good to see what he’s got, with T Mac, Turner and Howes to help him

    I don’t there is any chance Petty goes back after playing so well up fwd. He was our focal point all game

    The last time Dees and Dogs met after thumping wins in their previous games...

    I agree, Petty has played forward all year and probably won't be shifted. English is also in fair form and will make it harder for Gawn to float back.

    True

    Would big Campbell be a chance?

    Backline is a concern without May and an in-form Lever. But agree with previous comments, probably not the game to bring in Adams.

    Well that cancels out half the team. Not sure we can field a team in the next few weeks

    Just Lindsay in for Sharp.

    Best of luck Disco and T Mac, you’re gonna need it!

    Looking forward to us returning to the ‘G after two weeks at that soulless stadium which I refuse to set foot in. Will be there in full voice - win, lose or draw.

    Thank God this game is at the MCG. That drops at least 8 goals off what the Dogs can score.

    Tommy Mac on Darcy, Turner on Naughton.

    If Darcy gets off the leash, swing Petty back onto him. He's got the height.

    Not convinced we're gonna win this one.

    This, perhaps?...

    Who knows with selection ? It’s a lottery

    Their forward weapons

    Darcy. Prefer Petty to play back on him but Goody will keep him forward, so it’s probably Tmcd

    Naughton. Probably Turner

    West. McVee.

    Midfield. Bont. Libba. Richards. Kennedy. Sanders. Williams

    Versus

    Oliver Trac jv7 Kozzzzy Langdon Langford Windsor

    Big matchup in midfield

    Defence. Runners. Dale. JJ. Freijah

    Need to stop Dale we let too many HBF run and run and kick and run etc etc

    Chandler Sparrow Fritsch need to tighten up on their rebound

    Defence. Talls. Lobb Busslinger O’Donnell Cleary

    Can JVR and Petty and Melksham have any influence ?

    Miscellaneous. Bramble McNeil Poulter. Vdm. Dogs weakness or strength is also their 20-23. Dees can identify this also.

    I’m happy to take you on. I’m betting we win 1 perhaps 2 of the last 3

    • 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.
