We will potentially have 11 blokes who have played less than 35 games in the team on Sunday - I love that we're blooding youth and it means less of the "scarred" types are playing, but I can't see a side with such inexperience getting up in such a big game. Happy to be proven wrong of course, but Collingwood will be desperate to get a win.

    Garlett wont get up which is disappointing. Hmmm... funny because I remember Misson saying he was an absolute definite starter for the North game.

    ... right.

    Pretty frustrating.... he is the King of making statements and then the opposite happening. Maybe he should just be quiet.....

    Like the Essendon supporters who I saw whilst waiting in the car park after the game, shoving their flags inside MFC supporters cars. Nice work.

    Sorry, it will be completely unlike Essendon supporters. Collingwood supporters will be taking things out of the cars (or just taking the cars).

    If that was my car they would be taking those flags out of somewhere and it would be my car.  Surgery may have been required...

    Sounds like Vince, Vanders (and maybe Watts) out. Most likely Brayshaw and Hunt in (along with NB if Watts doesn't get up)! Tragedy about Garlett!

    So not only is Garlett out but now Watts maybe too. On top of Vanders who was playing under an injury cloud and Brayshaw who was rushed back early.

    Ive been asking for 2 years for Dave Misson to be fired, the bloke is hopeless.

    Misson said yesterday if Garlett got through training and pulled up well saturday he would play. If he doesn't, why is that Misson's fault.

    Vanders did an ankle. Brayshaw was rushed in by the Match Committee. Watts has obviously injured a knee. Why is that Misson's fault.

    I thought his main job was to get the players fit and that seems ok, they run out games.

    The Doctors and Physios look after injuries.

    Yes he might guess wrongly as to when a player will come back, but that is not his main job, that is just fluff for the supporters.

    He said before the Kangas game that Garlett would 100% play

    Next  minutes hes missed 2 matches

    What did Misson do to Garlett and Watts?

    If I recall correctly, they did another scan and found the injury was worse than first thought.  Can't see how blame attaches to him in particular.

    Fire him for misguided information? Might as well start firing half the club.

    Source on Watts?

     

    (PS can DL add to code of conduct that where there is an injury and perhaps also a trade rumor that failure to provide the source is against the code?)

    Agree with this 100%.  Just dropping in something about another player having a possible injury but not giving the source is poor etiquette.

    I relied on Demon9's post on today's "training report" where he referred to heavy strapping on Watts' knee. Perhaps wait and see whether other Demonlanders post on the training session with more authority?

    We have gone wrong many times playing the man for years. We're not good at it. Look at how clumsy Bernie Vince looked trying to be tough last week.

    We have to just play good hard footy and stuff who is injured from the other side. Focusing on it gets us nowhere.

    What his bump on Ziebell? That was a ripper wasn't it.

    Tommy Mac was on SEN this morning saying that Watts didn't train the week of the Ess game and played poorly becasue of it. Maybe he is carrying something?

    TMac sounded very composed and articulate. Can see why he is in the leadership group. (yes I know he needs to fix his dosposal

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
