I for one don't want to see White come back in. We did fine without him last week. Maybe White could play as a midfielder/wingman, but I'd prefer to let Jamar and PJ take responsibility.

I'm expecting Bell to make the team because of the Dogs' smallish forward line.

Out: Davey, McLean

In: McDonald, Frawley

I hope Martin gets another game, though I can't think of an immediate match up for him. I heard Frawley played well for Sandy on the weekend so he gets a go on one of the Dog's numerous midsized forwards.

He's gotta be in with a chance. Cyril's fading badly, so if Aussie can finish the season well, the judges might have his good form at the front of their minds when they vote.

Watts. I'm more certain of it with each day.

9. Yay, Gold next year!

Garland, from Miller and PJ. Dunn's making a late-season run at it though.

I didn't mind this when it happened with Sylvia earlier in the year, but on reflection, I'm not a fan of this type of punishment. In my opinion it punishes the team more than the individual.

I tend to agree, except in our situation I don't think it really matters. What's more important is that a message is sent not just to Aaron but to the whole group that whatever Davey did is unacceptable, so that when we need players in the team and not serving suspension for discipline it doesn't happen.

I want Watts, which is good because I also have a feeling we'll take him.

Jared Rivers, so that when one is injured, the other one can play... or Brock for the same reason

I concur. 2 x Rivers means 1 x Rivers playing each week.

Well it's not just dependent on our progess but also other teams (obviously). If the Bulldogs turn into the next Geelong then a premiership may be out of the question until 2012 or something like that. But I reckon we'll be up there challenging in 4 years. Finals in 2.

We will finish 14th, Freo 15th, West Coast 16th. W.C. will take Naitanui with pick 1 to provide an able back up to Cox. Freo will take Rich with pick 2 because they could use another midfielder. So we, with pick 3, will take Watts. Which I would be happy with.

Stynesy has been fantastic. WHat is it? 1500 members since he's taken over. Farkin brilliant

Yeh almost 29,000 now.

I just wish there were more people there to witness it.

He went to Mitch Clark when he was forward, but he seemed to move further up the ground later in the game. Seems to be very mobile for someone 198cm and 100kg or thereabouts. A defence with Warnock, Garland, Martin and Rivers sounds good to me.

Loved seeing Wonna's dad there. Stynes ought to go to as many matches as is possible.

Definitely his best game so far, and was one of our best, but his kicking still leaves a lot to be desired I reckon. I thought a few times he missed the target when he shouldn't have. Consistency is definitely what we need from CJ now.

6 - Green

5 - Miller

4 - Sylvia

3 - CJ

2 - Wheatley

1 - PJ

Special mention to Dunn for collecting a second scalp (Black was ineffectual compared to his usual).

Sylvia's best game for the MFC IMO.

That was so symbolic of the difference in determination between PJ and Sherman. It was something that 3AW mentioned quite a bit after the game. Loved the way us in the crowd cheered it like he'd kicked a goal.

I'm really happy with the new leaderhip group. They're looking to the future with Moloney, Miller, McLean and Davey. And about time Green got in there. I do feel a bit sorry for Robbo though. You can't use the 'he's out for the year' argument because so are Rivers and Moloney, but I don't disagree with the decision to drop him.

Hope he goes to Brown, would be a good lesson first up.

Despite what people think about Sam, the Footy Show needs him.

People forget that what Sam's been doing this year has been happening for the show's entirety. It seems to be that non-watchers who heard about the mannequin skit have attacked him.

Billy was good, but Sam's better. Besides which, his return should bring back Street Talk.

Green - captain

McLean - vice captain

Miller

Rivers

Then one of McDonald/Bruce/Jones/Grimes (i.e. go with experience or youth)

Besides I have not seen J. Brown play in the flesh....ever!

I know, it's about time they came here. Even more reason to come to the G. Either you see Melbourne pull off a stunning upset win, or you see Jonathon Brown go ballistic.

Still at the mercy of Demetriou though.
