Great game. Love seeing McDonald down back think he's a better defender than forward. Bedford showed a bit. Trac and Clarry will tie for the brownlow. Benny Brown was huge and Brayshaw proved me wrong he can play back alright. Looking the goods.

6 Petracca 5 Oliver 4 Brayshaw 3 Viney 2 Brown 1 Langdon

Scott's been alright. In: Zanker Out: Gillard

I've now added every player that is on a list including Sheppard and Jones who have retired.

They have gone for the extra midfielder I don't really like it. It means Brayshaw plays down back. I wasn't overly impressed with him down back last week. I think Dunstan will be sub. Casey possible team B: Woewodin, Turner, D.Smith HB: Baker, Tomlinson, McVee C: Rosman, Dunstan, Howes HF: Melksham, van Rooyen, Chandler F: Moniz-Wakefield, Weideman, M.Brown FOLL: Daw, Laurie, Bedford IC: White, Zaharakis, Buntine, Lonie EMERG: Reid, Munro, Grey

The problem I have with the voting is I only know the 4 Melbourne players in Heath, Hanks, Zanker and McNamara. The opposition players I have no idea of.

Possible Melbourne line up B: J.Smith, May, Lever HB: Salem, Tomlinson, Bowey C: Langdon, Petracca, Brayshaw HF: Neal-Bullen, McDonald, Pickett F: Fritsch, B.Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Harmes, Hunt, Jackson, Sparrow SUB: Jordon EMERG: Weideman, Chandler, Dunstan Possible Casey line up B: Buntine, Turner, D.Smith HB: Baker, White, Reid C: Zaharakis, Dunstan, Howes HF: Melksham, van Rooyen, Chandler F: Lonie, Weideman, M.Brown FOLL: Daw, Jordon, Munro IC: Laurie, Rosman, Woewodin, Bedford EMERG: McVee, Moniz-Wakefield, Grey I think Turner maybe injured if so Buntine goes to full back, McVee to the back pocket. I'll be going to the practice match on Thursday so I will try and keep everyone up to date.

With the additions of Lonie, Zaharakis and Ried we will have a really strong team. B: Buntine, Turner, D.Smith HB: Hunt, White, McVee C: Zaharakis, Dunstan, Howes HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Melksham F: Lonie, Weideman, M.Brown FOLL: Daw, Reid, Munro IC: Bedford, Laurie, Rosman, Woewodin EMERG: Moniz-Wakefield, Baker, Grey

5 Bannon 4 Mithen 3 Hanks 2 Paxman 1 Lampard

The game we had to have after a soft win against Freo. A wins a win but we have to play better to win the premiership. The tackling game of Carlton and Adelaide has found us out a little bit.

What a win record breaking stuff. If that doesn't give you confidence nothing will. We are definitely a flag threat now. Adelaide seem to be the only threat if we can stop Phillips and Marinoff we can definitely win the flag.

5 D.Pearce 4 Mithen 3 West 2 Hore 1 Harris

No change we are playing too well to make changes.

WERRIDEE'S best 23 B: J.Smith, May, Lever HB: Salem, Tomlinson, Hibberd C: Langdon, Petracca, Brayshaw HF: Neal-Bullen, McDonald, Pickett F: Fritsch, B.Brown, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Harmes, Bowey, Jackson, Sparrow SUB: Jordon Don't think they will risk Rivers for round 1 round 2 more likely for him. Casey B: Buntine, Turner, D.Smith HB: Hunt, White, Baker C: Howes, Dunstan, Rosman HF: Melksham, van Rooyen, Chandler F: Bedford, Weideman, M.Brown FOLL: Daw, Laurie, Munro IC: Woewodin, Moniz-Wakefield, Grey, Freeman

It would have been daylight robbery but [censored] were the umpires disgusting. Should be sent to the bush all of them. Commonsense umpiring is all I ask for and it wasn't seen tonight. DISGRACEFUL

Just when you thought the umpiring couldn't get any worse. The Petracca 50 happens. They are pretty little petals these poor excuses for umpires. Time for Gil to get common sense umpiring. We have been terrible but the difference has been the umpiring. How may 50's have we given away. I thought there couldn't be a worse umpiring game than the Bulldogs game I have now seen it. Carlton aren't that good the umpires have allowed them be great.

The umpiring has been deplorable. The only thing that's been worse is our skill level. Glad we had this game now. Been too good for too long. Stop drinking their bathwater. Hunt has made sure he won't get a game for a long time has had an absolute stinker. Smith and Baker are not up to it.
