The sub is obviously between Blease, Howe and Bennell... Bennell has never been successful, and Howe deserves a full game but I feel it may be him?

Thoughts?

    Small Ground...will make it interesting as our gameplan must be tweaked to play on this Dump.

    Blease for mine.

    As long as it's not Morton. Worst sub ever. Both games he's come on he's been dreadful.

    ....but any worse than when he gets a full game???

    I would be surprised if it was anyone except Blease, although Casey had a bye last week - so does that mean he is slightly out of touch and needs a full game to get into the swing of things, or just throw him in the end so play on adrenaline for half/quarter of a game (assuming no early injuries)?

    Blease has been named as the sub.

    Not a fan of small players getting sub duties

    IMO the perfect sub is Martin as he can play in most positions on the ground

    I hope the Sub Rule becomes extinct sooner rather than later

    Narrow-minded comment, in my opinion

    When you look at the makeup of a side, the majority of players are small-mid sized.

    If you are replacing an injured player, by the numbers, you're likely to have to replace a small running type.

    With the way the game is played today, if worst comes to worst, it's better to concede a bit of height than mobility around the ground.

    Stef doesn't need to start as the sub. In fact, if he starts as the sub we have no backup ruck, so Jamar gets no rest until Stef is subbed on.

    Just by being in the side, if need be, he can be moved into another position as the side adjusts when the sub comes on.

    Fairly straightforward, I'd have thought.

    The substitute rule will stay and has been a success so far.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
