Trengove is done! 

Lets place some serious footy nous here! No room for sentiment when  place in the 8 is now a real posibility!

lol

Yeah. I think if they have guys on the list, even ones who can only do one thing like Trenners, then they're there for a reason. We have that many inside ballwinners in the 22 now, there just isn't room for him. But if one or two of Oliver, Jones, Viney or Tyson were to miss or get hurt, Trenners would come under serious consideration. Hasn't put a foot wrong in the twos for half a season.

As it happens this week, subi is no place for his legs. But in subsequent weeks...

    Does the club fly with Virgin or Qantas?

    Virgin, no choice.

    After he rewarded the QB mob with an unchanged side. We smash the premiers, doubling their score... and people think he'll make 4 changes.

    Cheers, I'll be over in Newcastle for work this week, returning to Perth via Melbourne on Friday morning with Virgin. Probably a fair chance I'll be on the same plane.

    IMO Gawn is the only in subject to fitness and the FD's plans to manage workloads through this 3-week patch of six-day breaks.

    If there are no injuries and we're not resting anyone, I am not sure at all who would make way for Gawn. There's no chance it's Watts (subject to injury), whilst OMac, TMac and Pedersen are all playing more than well enough. That leaves Frost - if Kennedy doesn't come in, do we need all of Frost, OMac, TMac, Pedersen and Gawn? Do we become too tall?

    Having said all this, I suspect someone will be either be injured (Jones/Watts/Hunt) or rested.

    On pure form alone, if we have to drop someone it would be ANB or Vince, but I'm not sure that's going to happen.

    Agree. Eagles are all big bodied mature types. The contested footy will be crucial... Priddis and Shuey usually tear us up. 

    We can beat them IF THE UMPS GIVE US A FAIR GO.

    There's a chance Shuey will get suspended for a bump on Dangerfield.

    Still, the point is valid and Sam Mitchell's in that midfield as well.

    A few injury concerns and Goody said in his presser he wont risk anyone off the 6 day break to Perth

    In  -      Gawn,  JKH

    Out -    Watts (hammy), Jones (quad)

    Would personally prefer to see Trengove in for Jones. Could be a like for like in and under type replacement.

    There is so much depth on the list hard call, everyone is making too much of 6 day turn around, we have just had a bye, the 3 6 day are not so bad after a bye

    Non changes question.

    How do I find out if there is an open training session in Perth? Just call the club?

    Want to take my 3 yr old daughter along. She has red hair so a big Clarry fan.

    BTW think it is harmes out Gawn in...barring forced changes

  • Quote

    Changes only made on the basis of injury, soreness or fatigue. We need to keep a winning side intact as much as possible but not risk serious injury to players with soreness. For example if Watts has hammy soreness well for gods sake rest him. We will need a strong injury free list for the remainder of the season and finals time.

    Jones and watts will both play, just taking no risks 

    If Jones has a quad strain, as reported then he will miss this week. Quads are pretty tricky & they won't risk it, he could miss 2 - 3.

    Watts had a limp after the game, he would also be doubtful particularly with a long flight ahead. The way he was walking didn't look like just a bit of tightness.

    ...so, I guess I'm not as sure that both will play.

  • Quote

    Doggies had 9 day break v our 6

     

    guessing FD and medicos know more about managing breaks, flight scheduling and Subiaco than us.

    Gawn comes in for Pedo (or to share with Cam) and so Pedo/Gawn presumably take a spot in the forward-line ahead of one of our fleet of mediums in Petracca, Harmes, Bugg or Hannan.

    We all love how Hannan is developing, but get the feeling he'll be the one squeezed. Played every game in his first season. Take a breather.

    Well yeah thats what I thought. Stick him in the exit row or put him up the front. Let him stretch out. 

    They can let him fly the plane as far as I'm concerned. Max plays!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
