    Geez, we'll have quite a team in if all those blokes get through.

    Thought Bruce was 2 weeks away.

    AzzKikA is getting very excited about the prospect of Bate, Bruce and Mclean plating on Friday. Altho it might be better to leave them out until the travel to Subiaco.

    I think they will play on Friday night.

    They were all rested last week.

    My thoughts are that they were rested so they could come back for Neitz' 300th.

    Just a thought anyway. There's no way we won't put our best side out there for this game.

    This is our Grand Final on Friday.

    Going to be classic.

    I think we will beat the Pies. Quite convincingly too.

    Who will leave the team for Bruce, Bate and McLean?

    I would have thought that Bode won't play as he didn't really have an effect on the game on the W/E.

    Who else though? Brown? Frawley will be another one gawn as he is injured. Maybe Sylvia needs a run at sandy?

    I thought Dunn was okay and doesn't deserve to be dropped.

    Frawley won't play due to injury. Opens up for Bate.

    Bode may get dropped back down for Bruce.

    And I think unfortunately even though Dunn was great. If Mclean is available he will get dropped. Unfortunately.

    Agreed.

    He does deserve to play though. But I guess we can't have everyone.

    I hope Godfrey's injury is a lengthy one - I know that sounds mean but hey, he's not good enough.

    Frawley only opens up for Bate because Holland will go back onto Rocca and Bate will take his place in the forward line.

    I doubt Bruce will be fit, but if so he will replace Bode.

    They won't drop Dunn ... McLean if he comes in will replace Moloney who still looks 50%.

    Either way, there is room for the 3...

    Maybe Ferguson out instead of Bode for Bruce. Certainly agree with your comment about Moloney - can't get to the contest let alone have an impact.

    Ferguson will play before Bode this week.

    So you rate him then?

    Your one of the few. :lol:

    Not his skill, but I do rate his ethic.......

    and the very basic fact that he is still a member of our list and for that, and the fact he is still a person, I don't want him hurt

    But that is not the point, no-one here should ever want, or celebrate when, a player to be taken down by injury, no matter who that player is.

    And if you do, then that is just an appalling attitude to have.

    Besides it is up to the selection committee to not select him, not for you to cheer if he gets hurt.

    I wish he never got up.

    His ethic is great, that's all I hear from you people.

    I don't care.

    So you can be the poorest player in the world but if you try hard you get a game?

    It doesn't work like that.

    The Demons are a good football side but when we go on the park with Godfrey we're not playing 22 we're playing 21.

    Sorry if I've offended you. My apologies.

    GO DEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't rate Godfrey. Get over it. It's just my opinion.

    The kid has no skill, & whoever he 'tags' gets 3 votes.

    Stop your crying.

    Not the point she was making. Every poster on this site at one time or another has called for a player to be dropped due to lack of form, skill, hardness, commitment, whatever.

    What is unacceptable is hoping a player suffers an injury or that the injury is worse than expected.

    Oh for heavens sake read the post......

    I don't think he should be an automatic selection, but he should never be criticised for his work ethic attitude and dedication to the team, especially when some of our more decorated players have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. It is something that should be looked at and celebrated.

    But again, it should not automatically lead to selection, but this year it has because of injuries to other players. They are the facts.

    But as I have said, and you seem to have ignored, that is not the point.

    As I said it is up to the selection to committee to leave him out if they want to, and I would rather then not have to pick through the rubble of injury.

    And I simply find it reprehensible that any Melbourne supporter would wish, or celebrate, an injury of any kind one any of our players. It doesn't, or at least shouldn't, matter if he should or shouldn't be selected in the 22. And while I do realise that injury is the unfortunate downside of footy, I simply don't want any of our boys struck down. And Godfrey (or any of the other less cherished players) is definitely included.

    And I would have hoped that fairly human sentiment was universal.

    This is stupid.

    Ok, I take back my comment!

    I hope he has a long career without any injuries.

    Hopefully he will have his lengthy career in different colours ;)

    I thought I read somewhere that McLean and Bruce are still several weeks away. Not sure of that though.

    I read that about Bruce, but I haven't heard much on McLean.

    Riley in his post-match conference said McLean would probably (not sure the exact word used but that was the impression) miss just the one match.

    If you look at the performances in 2007 Godders has been one of only a handfull of regural contributors & is our no one tagger. Oppositions certainly seem to have rated him as they have all targetted him in their game plan. He is not a star or most talented but way from MFC's worst player.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
