WERRIDEE

My predicted team B: Buntine, D.Turner, Adams HB: Hibberd, J.Smith, D.Smith C: Howes, Dunstan, Burgoyne HF: Sestan, van Rooyen, K.Turner F: Moniz-Wakefield, Schache, Jefferson FOLL: Verrall, Jordon, Goonan IC: Farris-White, Steele, Baldi, Peters, Valentine, McRae

Does anybody else do it? Decided instead of buying my daughter a junior membership she really isn't interested in football anyway, I pledged $10 per win as a bronze member. That's at as much as a junior membership maybe even more depending on how many games we win.

Collingwood are going to be right up there again I predicted them to finish 3rd but Geelong are just a team without Stewart he's like May to our team. Not sold on Carlton or Richmond both will struggle to make the 8 even though at the start of the year I had higher expectations on Richmond.

Interesting that Melksham is the sub had no pre season. Hope he's fit enough.

I thought he was still injured with a hammy?

I have Jordon as the sub and Hibberd as the stand by.

How they may line up Melbourne B: Lever, Tomlinson, Rivers HB: Brayshaw, Petty, Bowey C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, McDonald, Neal-Bullen F: Grundy, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Harmes, Pickett IC: McVee, Laurie, Sparrow, Chandler SUB: Jordon Bulldogs B: Bruce, Jones, Daniel HB: Dale, Keath, Richards C: B.Smith, Macrae, Treloar HF: Scott, Naughton, Johannisen F: Ugle-Hagan, Lobb, Darcy FOLL: English, Bontempelli, Liberatore IC: Duryea, Williams, Hannan, Baker SUB: Khamis Key Match Ups Lever V Ugle-Hagan I think Lever will get the job on Ugle-Hagan I think that will be a good match up. Lever didn't play against the dogs last time and Ugle-Hagan kicked 5. Tomlinson V Lobb I think this will be Tomlinson's best match up a lumbering ruckman. Lobb will tear us apart or do nothing no in between. Petty V Naughton Petty is no May but I think he could do the job on him. If he can keep him to a couple of goals he's done his job. Rivers V Darcy This is a mismatch Darcy is an up and coming star but Rivers can play above his height and beat him at ground level. The club has chosen system over structure down back. Spargo V Daniel Spargo has to shut him down has been damaging in the past McDonald V Keath McDonald really has to be on his game. Keath has iffy form and could be a weak link. Brown has to lift after an ordinary game against Richmond. An inform Jones could probably keep him in check but a brain fading Jones could give Brown some opportunites. McDonald has a good record on Jones. Bruce V Grundy\Gawn Bruce like Tomlinson is a shock selection I expect like Tomlinson to take the resting ruck. Hopefully both Gawn and Grundy can be too nimble for him. Harmes V Bontempelli It doesn't happen much these days but I hope Harmes gets a tagging job on the Bont that's when Harmes plays his best football. Prediction The Dees by 12 points I had the Dees by 30 until May went out of the side.

Footscray V Casey Possible line ups B: Adams, D.Turner, D.Smith HB: Buntine, J.Smith, Freeman C: Howes, Munro, Burgoyne HF: Sestan, van Rooyen, Moniz-Wakefield F: Melksham, Schache, Jefferson FOLL: Verrall, Goonan, Woewodin IC: K.Turner, Farris-White, Valentine, Baldi, 23rd man

Are Casey playing a game this week and who against?

I'm expecting the same team that demolished Richmond. Will Woewodin be sub or will they use Schache or Disco?

Just joined watch out I'm tough to beat. My secret is tipping Melbourne all the time.

You would think he would have played the practice match then I think they will give the young guns a go either Laurie or Woewodin.

I'll do my week best 44 Viney won't play and I think Fritsch should play. B: Lever, May, Bowey HB: Brayshaw, Petty, Rivers C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, McDonald, Neal-Bullen F: Grundy, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Harmes, Pickett IC: McVee, Sparrow, Fritsch, Chandler SUB: Laurie EMERG: Woewodin, Schache, D.Turner Reserves B: D.Smith, D.Turner, J.Smith HB: Hibberd, Tomlinson, Buntine C: Howes, Jordon, Burgoyne HF: Sestan, van Rooyen, K.Turner F: Moniz-Wakefield, Schache, Jefferson FOLL: Verrall, Munro, Woewodin IC: Farris-White, Valentine, Baldi, Goonan Not sure if Melksham and Adams are fit enough so I left them out.

Gawn Oliver Petracca May Neitz

So out of the Casey players the players that played last week were Sheridan, Grass, Baldi, Cross, Freeman and Valentine So last weeks team was B: D.Smith, D.Turner, Buntine HB: Hibberd, Tomlinson, Freeman C: Howes, Jordon, Burgoyne HF: Sestan, van Rooyen, K.Turner F: Moniz-Wakefield, Schache, Jefferson FOLL: Verrall, Munro, Goonan IC: Farris-White, Steele, Grey, Sheridan, Grass, Baldi, Cross, Valentine I think Valentine kicked a goal against Richmond not Schache so Schache had 4, van Rooyen 2 and singles to Valentine, Grey, Jefferson and Verrall.

If Fritsch is out I'd bring in Chandler from the sub and make McVee the sub presuming Disco plays.

I'd play Disco Turner he can play tall and small. I'd have him ahead of the unlucky McVee.

Good news for Melbourne Demons defender Christian Salem, key pair Bayley Fritsch and Jack Viney still in R1 doubt (afl.com.au)

Did anyone see it? @picket fence maybe?

highlights sorry

Schache 5 van Rooyen 2 and singles to Verrall, Jefferson and Grey.

The replay shows Schache kicking 5, van Rooyen 2 and singles to Verrall, Jefferson and Grey.

How did the rest of the Melbourne list go? The bloke on the video said Schache kicked 5.

If they are going to use Ugle-Hagan, Naughton, Darcy and Lobb in the forward line then Disco has to come in for the unlucky McVee. My round 1 side B: Lever, May, Bowey HB: Brayshaw, Petty, Rivers C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, McDonald, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett IC: D.Turner, Grundy, Harmes, Sparow SUB: Chandler EMERG: McVee, van Rooyen, Woewodin

Another great performance by the Dees may it continue. What a champion Gawn is we will be unstoppable with him and Grundy. Hunter continuing on his good form and is was really impressed with Nibbler as well. Hard to see us change the team too much obviously Fritsch and Viney come back if fit. Can't wait to play the dogs. Team against the dogs: B: Lever, May, Bowey HB: Brayshaw, Petty, Rivers C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, McDonald, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett IC: McVee, Grundy, Harmes, Sparrow SUB: Chandler EMERG: van Rooyen, Woewodin, Laurie
