Wasn't Charlie Dixon one of the GC players we had a lot of trouble with when we played them in a practice match up there?

correct

Called. It.

I believe there's a good chance Dixon won't come good by Sunday from last weeks leg injury.

That's a big bonus especially given the form he's been in.

I heard it was a fracture in his arm but he's been playing with it for weeks.

Assuming Lynden Dunn plays on him, it would be interesting to see him test something like that out.

Really gotta respect a bloke like that who can play as well as he does with a pretty serious and painful injury like that, credit where credit's due i suppose :)

Round 1 in Rodan

Round 2 out Rodan

Round 3 in Rodan

Round 4 out Rodan

Round 5 in Rodan

Round 6 out Rodan

And Neeld doesn't have issues. can't believe McLardy is letting this play out.

OHHHHHHHH i see a bit of the "old in and out" Thats the way to satisfaction What the hell is going on there

Somewhat of a surprise to see Sellar in the side.

I thought Davey might get a run given the lack of experience factor but perhaps the coach is really playing mind games with all of us.

Davey has played too many games, it doesn't fit the pick the least experienced team possible policy we seem to have.

absolutely no point playing Sellar

Why not blood Davis?

The only reason i can think of to play sellar with Dixon out is to stretch their defence, in which case Fitz would have been a much better option.

Selectors have lost the plot

Could Sellars inclusion mean one of Garland, Frawley or Tom Mc are carrying an injury??? Sellar's inclusion guarantees we have another Key Position defender in that case.

Also, it appears that Dunn will most likely play through the middle in a run with role from some of what Royal said in the team chat. So given Garland usually plays on one of the small forwards, maybe they wanted to have the extra height in the backline to give us an advantage for when they might do the long bomb into the forward line. We are fortunate enough that Frawley and Garland can play on bigs and smalls, so maybe frawley will pick up a mid-sized forward......

In reality, who the hell really knows, apart from the footy department.

Sellar can kick, Davis can't.

Sellar is genuine key position size, Davis isn't quite.

Sellar can back up ruck, Davis can't.

Seriously I don't think we've given Sellar enough of a chance as a defender to prove himself. Give him a run there, the worst thing that happens is he struggles a bit then we can move him forward and sub out a ruck man at 3/4 time to bring Kent on.

Sellar comes in as a tall forward, they prefer him to fitzpatrick for this week. I dont mind adding two talls, it adds balance to our forward line and you can see this is the structure neeld wants going forward two key forward talls, a goal kicking ruckman, a couple of defensive smalls and a marking midsize player, i see our forward line up

Tapscott Dawes Gawn

Howe Sellar Bail

back half of the year put Clark in there, the team is drilled on the set up.

if he comes in as a forward why didn't he or Pedersen play past week. I can't see the reasoning of going from zero key forwards to two all in one week. But mark Neeld and reasoning aren't really friends.

Get Clark (back up ruck) and Hogan in and that forward line works. But currently that forward line is much too tall considering the 3 talls aren't really threats.

the sellar inclusion for this week is why the bookies have got gold coast as favourites now.

a big body, can imagine why recruiters liked him hence going in the draft early. but he is only a big body, cannot do the fundamental things that are required of a big man. id say nev jetta would outmark sellar.

The bookies had us as favourites, they set the initial odds. Weight of money then changes those odds accordingly. Gold Coast were into favouritism before the final announcement of the teams. Punters obviously thought given the form of the two teams, and the injuries we have, that Gold Coast were over the odds and worthy of betting on. Sellar's inclusion would have no bearing whatsoever on GC being favourites.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
