Changes v Sydney Swans

Featured Replies

Blease expected to be fit and will play

Grimes being referred to as definitely playing

Language regarding Jordie McKenzie sounds like he is available - same for Joel MacDonald

Could be a very interesting team selection this week. There is no way there will be more than 2 changes after a win.

Grimes in for Dunn

Hopefully they don't drop Nicho (can't believe I just typed that but he was really good - even his kicking was good) and bring in Jordie.

 

Calling Brock McLean slow is hardly vitriol.

Slow is underrated. It's the players with quick minds with the peripheral vision and the quick hands out of packs who are the really 'fast' players.

Agreed, speed isn't everything. I reckon Sam Mitchell is the best ball user in th AFL, and he's definitely slow across the ground.

The difference is Mitchell is explosive over a couple of metres and with his hands.

greg Williams, couldn't run out of sight on a foggy night

2 brownlows quick hands


Magner is too slow for AFL footy.

You've got to be kidding, you didn't watch his two 20+ possession games? Had at least at least one chase down tackle.

You don't have to be quick to win a clearance, you have to be smart, and get to the right position!

Looks like Grimes will be back in. OUT Byrnes

And if blease is injured I'd be hoping they would be smart enough to bring in Magner.

Looks like Craig is going to play Barry and Davis at some stage, hence his press conference about having a look at MFC listed players who haven't played afl.

Dan bell must of been a superstar, he was fast at running but slow with the ball

Davis deserves a run but I think they will leave Barry for next year, I would like to see Taggert though. Coming off illness last week he was slow to get into the game but had a good last Q.

 

As a matter of interest, what did this say before you edited it?

I'm guessing you're making a "bold prediction" that Melbourne will beat Sydney this weekend by 6 points. But what does the "I have just come back from" mean?

Time travel often can adversely affect the synapses, causing a disconnect between the hands (typing) and the brain (thinking).

there is enough teachers on this site to decipher that tim


Am a physiotherapist, and have seen lots of Lisfranc injuries over many years, to footballers largely. The treatment is just graduated progression, with anti-inflammatory support. Not corticosteroids though......there lies a slippery slope. MC is back running, and for all the right reasons, his fitness for next season is much more important than this.

Thanks Webber.

Sounds promising.

Cheers

“He’s been training fully for six weeks now, and he’s had two weeks of full contact training and hasn’t had a hiccup, so he’s in some really good nick

Sounds positive about Grimes. It would be good to have him back in the midfield.

Definitely don't think Sammy Blease will play. He was flying around the track today but then tackled Magner and hobbled off looking very upset.

His face always looks like that after physical exercise.

This whole event is news to magner. He recalls looking around at one stage because he thought he heard someone behind him but only saw Sam Blease limping away looking sheepish.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
