Yep, if you don't really want it as a professional sportsman it's unlikely to happen anyway. Best of luck to Harley for whatever he does next.

Are they? They lost to Gold Coast and their last few weeks have been pretty ordinary, Buddy is playing injured and is well below his best, maybe they are on the slide. Melk is important and every good player out hurts of course but we do have others who deliver the ball well inside F50 - Fritsch, Oliver, Salem to name 3.

I hope Melk's "minor" hamstring isn't a 4 weeker....

Kent a chance?

Those are crazy odds, but that said I think we'll smash them, they've barely got a senior player left in the team. Would be the worst of all our epic chokes if we manage to screw this one up!

Melbourne $1.02 Gold Coast $15.00 have we ever been this short in history!?

Every eligible Demon must be there! Our best shot at finals (well since last year) on the line, hope for over 35,000

12 tackles thats a massive game from a pressure forward

No way I'd rest him this week unless he is truly injured....if May gets suspended its the perfect opportunity for him to get confidence and touch back against younger and less experienced opponents

We should pound the Suns into oblivion: young injury weakened team who can't wait for the season to end vs a hungry team with this group's first chance for finals....should be a no-contest

Finals so close now....2 more wins and we're probably safe

I reckon our midfield got right on top in that 2nd quarter we just wasted too many opportunities going forward

I reckon he's a good player once he gets his confidence up and going, you can't have too many midfielders especially when injuries hit. The question is whether he wants to move on to be guaranteed more game time at a club without our huge depth of inside mids.

Play the kids then?

Brilliant news, Gus, Trac, Clarry 3 young stars all locked away our midfield is pretty set now

It's bad, it's real bad, but it feels like we are close to being a good side for the first time in, well forever really.....now isn't the time to jump off. Somehow we have to fix our defence though because when the floodgates open there doesn't seem to be any stopping it.

How the hell did we [censored] that up

I reckon we'll go ok, we have a big bodied combative midfield that can take it up to their "superstars" (who actually aren't living up to expectations this season). As long as we don't continually bomb it to their intercept defenders as we did in round 1 (Tom Stewart killed us), we have every chance to get the win.

Max could break the all time hitout record up against Stanley and Blicavs who aren't even proper ruckmen

Having a great year first up - do we think he'll eventually develop into a player who can spend some time in midfield? Appears to have the grunt to play as more than a small forward despite his small stature.

Hibbo's last 2 weeks have been solid but unspectacular and we've still won by plenty....bad to lose him but he hasn't been burning it up in recent times

Ah Bollocks!

Geelong lost to the baby Bulldogs a couple of weeks ago then beat Sydney at the SCG: conclusion like us they are wildly inconsistent so pretty much any result is possible

Hard to see him leaving anytime soon to play with a side that looks a fair way off finals footy....Freo have an ok list but a lot of gaps still. And playing under Ross "The Floss" Lyon! The way they move the ball he'd be lucky to kick 30 goals a season!
