Preliminary Final Teams: Western Vultures v Melbourne

[loopy_cam]

Not sure if I won or not but I may not have a chance to post a team tomorrow so I have to post one now just in case. Russian can edit my team out later if needed.

MELBOURNE Team

B: Duffield, M. Johnson, M. Shaw
HB: D. Pearce, Hansen, Armstrong
C: Macaffer, Watson, A. Moore
HF: Waite, N. Riewoldt, J. Simpkin
F: Chapman, Westhoff, Graham
R: Hale, Myers, Zaharakis
Sub: Z. O'Brien
I/C: Maguire, Fitzpatrick, Jong

Captain: Watson
Vice-Captain: Zaharakis

Even if I did win last week I'll need a miracle to make the grand final. I wait all these weeks for Watson to come back and then Barlow and Beams go out a week later...

I don't think either of us can beat Geelong next week, so we are playing for 2nd

I wouldn't say that. I've already lost Fyfe and could still lose more players to injury this week.

Plus, there's the dreaded potential of having certain players 'rested' by their clubs during the last round if the finals picture is already set. I know too well, given my experiences last year.. I'm far from confident.

You're the favourite though!
