???? as if they are going to let yesterday be Mayne's last game.... he won't be dropped for his last....

Please Not Cox

Think of it as a going away present for his service to the club.

Time for a Reefer man.

Agree but he may not get a choice. Two big head knocks, Doctor will decide.

If thats the case, I for one will be very sad... Mr Mayne deserves a fine send off...

I would be happy to put all of this year’s failings to the side if we stop Essendon from making the 8.

Let’s hope they send membership info regarding finals before they play us….

Be a Mircale for us to beat Essendon

 

[Rebuilder]

Managing Mayne in his final game of his career?

Yes, I managed to come to my senses.

Just easing him into retirement.

 

[Shannin]

Cox to do a 2018 prelim demo on the bombers . Howe to dominate. Maynard goes everywhere Stringer goes. 3 goal win

 

[magpiemaniac44]

We have a very similar scenario to Round 23, 2017. When Melbourne needed to win to make the 8, and we had a memorable win, that in my opinion gave us moment and belief for our 2018 campaign. Hopefully a similar result next week against Essendon.

Howe noble in Murphy bianco out

 

[Ligma]

I beg you guys beat the scum

Might as well accept as don't want to be Injured in Final Meaningless Game

 

[thommo_legend]

Of course mihocek gets a week but selwood gets off

 

[Jen2310]

Might as well accept as don't want to be Injured in Final Meaningless Game

wouldn't really matter given he would then have the off season to recover.

[stormskye]

Can’t see them challenging it. 100% was bannable. Think he even raises his elbow which makes the action worse

 

[JLC]

Play the Kids.

Older Players not Really Carrying or Trying to Hard.

What ever we probably get Flogged by 20+ Goals

Essendon will want a bruise free game.

Please don’t give them that.
