Changes next week v the Roos

Featured Replies

 

At half-time I would have dropped Kent…..and Salem….and Jamar…….and probably Roos too.

 

Only change is probably putting the sub vest on Riley and starting Salem. This 22 deserves a big crack at Norf after today.

Watch the game next time maybe.

 

Any injuries? (apart from a few of the boys' hearing after Roosy's spray at half time)

I'd like to see more speed moving forward and if Roos could work his magic one more time I'd like to see Blease get a go. If not next week, in the next couple.


Just don't think Riley has the fitness for AFL yet and we've seen Salem struggle to run out games and lose impact. North are hard working and fit.

So whilst swapping them might be an option I'd rather keep Salem as a gun impact player and drop Riley for whomever is next in line which I hope means JKH again.

Or if we don't want to go youthful I'd really be a fan of trying Terlich as a defensive forward. He has match fitness, speed and courage. Would be much better suited to the job than Riley and if he fails he's decent enough down back we can move him there and throw Howe or someone else forward.

Would probably start rotating Salem/Riley/JKH for the rest of the season, as starting 22, substitute, and week off.

Salem has an X factor that is needed in the senior side ... the ideal way to rest the bloke is to make him the sub when applicable. He's too good a talent to be playing 2nds footy. As a sub right now, he becomes quite a weapon.

Unless there's an injury, I wouldn't expect any changes. If there is an injury, maybe JKH or Toumpas could come in. Either could start the game and be subbed off for Salem - or vice-versa.

Out: heart attack

In: a 10 goal win over those North Melbourne pricks

I'd still settle for a heart-attack, if it means we win.

Were you there?

Great win....hope all went...I did!

Need a couple of changes..

In: Kennedy- Harris , Terlich

Out: Riley, Salem ( REST)

This will definitely not happen.

The only possible change that I can see (barring injuries) is JKH in for Riley.

I cant believe anyone would say Salem out.

He made 2 crucial smothers and kicked the winning goal. No. Just no.

In: Kennedy-Harris

Out: Riley

The defence was fantastic last night and Terlich may just have to wait abit

With no real preseason I still don't think that Riley is match hardened. I would not sub him - he needs more time playing time not less - so either play him ( not sub) or drop him.

Out Riley , Bail, in Michie, Blease.


I'm a little gun shy regarding definitive statements after declaring their was no chance of terlich getting dropped so I'll just say I don't think either Salem or bail will be dropped. Salem for obvious reasons and bail because he works so damn hard and xall me crazy but i reckon roos thinks two way gut running is kind of important (which is one reason I rate mat Jones)

We won and noone set the world on fire at Casey

No change, make them knock the door down

I agree with some others on Riley's fitness. I also think Salem is much more of a weapon as a sub at the moment as he has struggled to impact games for extended periods thus far but always does a couple of crucial things when he comes on late in the game.

I would keep JKH at Casey for one more week, swap Riley and Michie and leave Salem as sub.

 

I'd still settle for a heart-attack, if it means we win.

I guess you have never had one DD

My advise don't have one

We need some class moving forward, someone who isn't afraid to back their foot skills and hit a target. I'm inclined to say bring Toumpas in. He is often described as being one of Casey's best without racking up the possessions which tells me he is damaging with his disposal.

I like Bail this year, he has heart. But i'd consider:

OUT: Bail, Riley

IN: Toumpas, JKH

Blease is close, but he's coming from a long way back for me so where everybody else has to earn it, I want to see Sammy earn it most of the year. No more inconsistency.

  • 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?

    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.

    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.

    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?
