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.

So you rate him then?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My what?????????????

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 ;)

Your one of the few. :lol:

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
