Whelan is a good inclusion particularly against Nth with Shaggers and Beama on the forward line. Was apparently in sparkling form for Sandy last weekend also.

As for Jamar lets hope he takes a couple of strong marks in the goal square because its unlikely he will do much more.

Ecstatic to see Whelan back. Has been a long time fav of mine and I'm looking forward to seeing him prove the doubters wrong. There is plenty left in him. It is such a relief to see the names RIVERS and WHELAN in the backline together. Would have liked to see moloney in for CJ but other than that, pretty happy.

I'm very confident this week. Can't wait!

Cj may be lucky, but I'm ok with Bails giving him an extended run to see if he's got anything to offer. I'd love him to step and show something.

Very strange that there is no Moloney still!

He must come in for CJ!

Great to see wheels back. I hope Jamar can show us something to prove he was worth resigning.

I hope Brad Miller named at CHB is just a joke.

I cant understand why Moloney is still Emerg. you would think if fit he should be in our starting line up , even off the bench.

Damn shame to see the names Miller, Jamar, C.Johnson and Robertson

However, I think we win this week. Cale Morton will do somethions special. Possibly a Hird/Lyon type display

Good one. The way you jinx us I'll expect him to smash his face on someone's knee and wreck his back, in a Hird/Lyon type display.

No change to the forward line duo where IMO we lost the game last week.

How long do we wait for real change?

Make the call Bailey. Make the call.

do you recall one of Chris Johnson's first games, against W.C in Perth where we lost a top of the ladder match by a small margin. He was sensational that day--the boy can definitely play, and I also would like to see him get a few games before we write him off

No Bate again is disappointing. Surely Moloney, if fit, is worth persisting with for a few weeks?

Bate hasn't played for four weeks, I think he'll come back through Sandy. If Moloney was dropped for disciplinary issues (and Bailey said he was omitted, not injured) then you would think he'd have to honour a commitment to Sandy before a recall.

He was definitely injured, he had a bad corky that kept re-bleeding but he told me he was probably right to smash the roos this week

I don't doubt that he had a corky, but I can't see the point in Bailey lying about why he wasn't in the team. The big question is if he wasn't injured would he have played rd 2? If the answer is no he was dropped for disciplinary reasons then he needs to front up with Sandy this weekend.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
