Changes vs Freo

Featured Replies

Spencer in for Gawn the obvious forced change. 

We cant afford to lose this game it would be a huge early blow to our finals chances, and Freo have started very well vs the Doggies in the game just underway in Perth.

In:  Spencer, Pedersen

Out:  Gawn, Weideman

Hannan may also get the chop for someone like Ben Kennedy.  I'd love to add Hibberd to the list as well but he needs a week or two at Casey.

 

They should be breathing fire after today.

Spencer gets his chance.

Would have loved a Casey game for Pedersen, Frost and others to push their claim, but the ridiculous VFL fixture has robbed them of that chance.

Agree along with Frost for Harmes. Frost is quicker!

Have a look at how the young Moore is going at Collingwood without Cloke.

Neither he nor Weideman are ready for the number 1 backman and nor should they be.

The Weed is the future and unless you think he will improve playing with an unco-ordinated system on a windy oval such is the VFL... we need to keep playing him

Good selection but smith before wied for me.

 

In: Frost, Pedo, Spencer if Gawn out, BenKen/Bugg

Out: OMac, Weed, Gawn, Hannan.

I know you want to keep running with the OMac theme, but deep down you know it won't happen.  Nice try.

Is Frost not a better option?

I didn't say that.  They may bring him in as the third tall, but whatever happens, it won't be at the expense of OMac.

I'd go 

out: gawn, weid

In: spencer kennedy-Harris 

Spencer for Gawn is obvious.

I'll keep my powder dry on the 'ins' until we have some feedback from Casey's 3/4 practice match today, but Hannan has struggled for the last two weeks as has Weid.  

Ins: Spencer Pedersen Kennedy Bugg

Out: Gawn Weideman Hannan Harmes


I thought Neal Bullen poor today and that chip back into the square dropable alone!!

Harmes also not the answer. Stick with Hannan and Weeds

Bring in Spencil, Frost, Kennedy and Bugg

Think about it... everyone says we played well etc etc

next week we play Freo

The replacements are not match fit (practice matches in the VFL are not quite the same)

So .. why change unless forced ... Spencer in

Time to show faith

Brayshaw for Harmes, Bugg for Hannan, Frost for either Weideman or Smith, Pencil for Max.

 

Spencer and Pedo for Gawn and Weid.

The rest can go again and try to kick straight.


I'll like to free up vince to go forward/mid. We desperately need some class up there. Really don't think vince is suited down back 

Bring in Wagner or hibberd if ready

I can't recall too many games where a player is virtually unsighted and you start to look at the team sheets to check if they are actually playing. Sam Weiderman had one of those today. Needs to go back to Casey for a bit.

Gawn and Hogan are arguably our two most important players and we won't have either of them next week, it's a worry no matter who we play.

  • 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.
