What

Salem? Maybe in the return match vs the Hawks in 8 weeks time

If we come out of this game with our % still over 100 we have done well. We will beat the Pies on QB.

Oh FFS

I feel sorry for the Pies players in two weeks time.

I thought the Guardian was UK newspaper, I guess not. The strangest part about the comments section is that it seems to be respectful discussion. Mind you I havent been to the politics section yet...

We are being punished because we dont have as many members as the big clubs. The AFL should subsidize the smaller clubs so they dont have to sell home games. How the hell can we ever have a fair end even competition otherwise.

Grimes deserves a game. Perhaps his papers are stamped post 2016, but we should be playing the team that gives is the best chance to win. And this week Grimes is a better option than our tired kids. He will be hungry to play seniors, and who knows maybe he has improved in his time down at Casey?

Hogan way too low.

Calling it now we will destroy Collingwood on QB

His lovely weighted kick under pressure to the advantage of Jack Watts for our first goal was very good. He will be better than Tom.

This is good for footy. I hate Geelong and the golden run they get every year from their home ground advantage and gun recruits they get for basically nothing

Yesd and I hope Simon Goodwin turns out to be as good as Bolton or better. Bolton is doing this with a putrid list.

Oh god its great to see Geelong getting exposed

Must be scrapped immediately. We will make more money from making the finals, and we will never make it as long as we are selling games to the NT. We go there twice a season and that means another two games travelling back the week after that we lose too. Automatic 4 losses before the season even begins, 3 if we are lucky.

6 - Max Gawn 5 - Jesse Hogan 4 - Nathan Jones 3 - Neville Jetta 2 - Billy Stretch 1 - Josh Wagner

Not excited at all. The Hawks have a low % and will be looking to this game to get it much higher. Scary times.

This is the ultimate test, and the Hawks are just starting to heat up and might even get Hodge back. This is the week we will see how far we have truly come.

St Kilda are so bad.

Roos: I've got to take responsibility for not making more changes for this week. We spoke about it at match committee Then why the fark didnt you do it!!!!!!!!

Need experience vs the Hawks... Trenners and Dunn in for starters

After last weeks match Roos said there would be around 4 changes for this week going to Alice Springs. It was also obvious to anyone with a brain our that some of our kids are tired and on top of that the flu has affected multiple players. So why in gods name did we only make two changes?

Scrap this [censored] Northern Territory thing. It is absurd. We are Mebourne and have no affiliation with Darwin or Alice Springs, and i couldnt give a stuff about either place or the NT. We will never play finals as long as this continues. And no point in PJ or the club complaining about the draw either when we are the reason our draw is so bad.

20 tackles in the first half - its obvious we didnt make enough changes at selection, we are tired. A miracle we are only 20 down.

According to that moron Brad Scot, people are 'cowards' for calling out Lindsay Thomas for playing for free kicks. Cant stand Scott, he regularly uses hyperbole and passive aggressive attacks every single week for the smallest of issues. The irony is that he is the coward, nobody else. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/lindsay-thomas-draws-criticism-for-drawing-high-contact-free-kicks/news-story/4524389fc7155648048ba5dda5a3b022
