    Final interchange to be: Jetta, Martin, Maric, Petterd.

    Maric or Jetta to be sub, no chance for it to be Martin or Petterd again.

    My choice for sub: Maric.

    May be Jetta though, because he'd be more of a game changer with his pressure and tackling.

    Although... If Maric were able to take advantage of a fatigued opponent and get more of the footy, with more time to use it, he could be really damaging.

    It will be interesting to see.

    (the game within a game!)

    Hahahaha if you're joking - that's gold, and if you're not - it's still an appropriate response!

    Bloody Ryan Ferguson...

    Petterd would be stiff to find the green jersey again I suppose. Jetta might give that bit of energy through the characteristics you mention. And yes you were right....here's your set of steak knives. :)

    Agree a game within a game..but I doubt Clarkson would be worried about it. He'd have plans for each of the three candidates.

    PS. I will say this, the sub has created extra interest for AFL followers.

    It creates a distinct advantage for a team that doesn't suffer an injury forcing the use of the substitute, when playing against a team that does.

    Hardwick & the Tigers may beg to differ (they say hi !) ! (Re: Jack Riewoldt)

    Overall though, you would be right in most cases. Limiting rotations for one team and not the other through injury (particularly early in a game) would have to have a telling effect.

    On top of all that, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the players do lay an official complaint through the AFLPA regarding the sub and that it should be reviewed.

    Particularly if Green kicks 5 on him :)

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
