The one handed tackle from DAWESY!

BAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the [censored] do we need to do to get a holding the ball!

Dusty Martin must be stopped - but who? Dunn? but he is important down back

Roo's seems to have sprinkled Pedo and Gawn with his magic dust today.

I love Salem - beautiful hands and kick! Doesn't get many but he makes them count

Ball! - martin

Good tackle Watts - more of that please

Jonesy! Suck on that Cotchin!

Are you serious! ball! one week you don't need prior and the next your allowed to take on your man and drop the ball!

Of course being an away game at the G means its a big crowd

You will have to keep the fist pumps and body slamming to a minimum then

True but Toumpas may replace Jetta as a defender

I don't mind that change. Gotta feel for Jetta though - would be pretty frustrated

Thats a bit of a surprise - hopefully he gets more than a quarter - maybe if Salem is spent at halftime JKH can come on. This puts even more pressure on Dawes.

Well that's interesting - no surprises here: "collingwood toys with their selected squad more than most, picking the sub from those named on the bench only 44.3% of the time".

Doesn't the sub have to come from the 4 man interchange? and Terlich is not on the interchange - I am not sure if that's possible.

Its amazing to think that if these comments were made 8 weeks ago the poster would have been laughed out of here. Richmond were supposed to finally cement their spot in the 8 (with their great midfield). From memory Jamar was well past it and would never get another game. Our midfield was worst in the competition (couldn't win a clearance if our life depended on it). Pedo was clogging up the list like Jamar with his 3 year contract. Jetta was also a list clogger. On another Note: I also wouldn't mind Salem replacing Byrnes and M,Jones to be the sub. Frawley is a loss - I worry about Gawn. I believe to take full advantage of him he should alternate with Jamar between ruck and FF (with Jamar doing 70% ruck work - he is better). Keep Gawn close to the goal square so he can convert. Should be few rotations between those two - stretch the Richmond defence (will be a really important combo with the loss of Frawley). Looking forward to seeing Riley. I think a few on here don't fully appreciate terlich's contribution to the team - but if he pulls out Clisby would be a great it.

Love watching Garry Lyon rip into Barrett every week - seems to share demonland's view of Barrett. http://www.afl.com.au/video/2014-05-12/eagles-flattrack-bullies-need-to-step-up

joeboy - a bit harsh If JKH is bordering on exciting then Byrnes is about as exciting as watching your grandma play bingo

Bail? i think he has earned his spot in the team - has potential as a half forward who can rotate through the middle. At least the kid tries to tackle (had 7 tackles - third most) - unlike a couple in the team. He provides important run and carry.

Geez Darcy get over it - your a man down we get it! (already creating excuses)

At least there is no jumper clash

Melbourne v Western Bulldogs at the MCG, 7.40pm NO LATE CHANGES FINAL INTERCHANGES Melbourne: Shannon Byrnes, Dom Tyson, Matt Jones Substitute: Christian Salem Western Bulldogs: Jack Macrae, Jason Tutt, Lachlan Hunter Substitute: Daniel Giansiracusa

Was this after you told him he should be in the gym and not playing video games.......jokes

I don't think Dunn was ever an 'obvious choice' - he has been starting 18 for the last 2 years - just as important as McDonald
