Jomnes is out for 3-4 weeks with an abductor strain. source is from an ex player.

Probably not an abductor strain as we haven't stolen the premiership just yet.  But an adductor strain might be a possibility!

Put Vince in the midfield (to tag Mitchell) and bring in Wagner as the first of the changes.

Watching Watts cover so much ground, his final position might be the wing, with Pedo and Jesse forward.  Max in the middle and the Macdonald brothers flipping forwards like burgers out of the backline.  This would work at the back end of this year, then Weids in to replace Pedo next year as he forces his way in.

Max is a walk up start, Pedo stays in, and we replace a medium with Max.  If Jones is out, we bring in another runner - Wagner or JKH would appear first in line.

Frost out?

Even if Kennedy doesn't play, and with Gawn returning he stays in and plays on Darling as he matches him for pace/size IMO.

OMac or TMac play on Petrie at full forward and if Josh Kennedy doesn't play I'd play one of the McDonald's forward in a defensive forward type role to simply compete with McGovern every time the ball is in the air. With Pedersen to start at full-forward on Hurn in a similar type contest.

Reckon we actually match-up on them pretty well.

Need to put some time and effort into Jetta as his delivery into the forward 50 last week was unreal.

Also Mitchell, Priddis and Shuey seem to gather a million possessions each when we play them, but our mids can take it up to them, especially with Gawn back and putting it in their laps!

Sydney Swans' Josh Kennedy is no guarantee to return for Saturday night's clash with Melbourne.

This from The West Australian! Or have I missed a mid season transfer?

Frost speed too important on Subi. Absolute certainty to play. OMac might be the extremely unlucky one.

I keep reading in this thread about the concern of a "long trip to WA". I hope it's only supporters who even think that it's a concern. West Coast and Freo cope with this "long trip" every two weeks or so. If they can do it, we can do it. And we only have to do it a couple of times per season. If our team's mindset is somehow compromised by this concern then we're not yet ready to be a power club. 

Whilst not disagreeing with you fundamentally, there are a couple of other trips which we make:

Perth 2721 Kms

- Alice 2260 Kms

- Darwin 3148 Kms

I'm  more concerned about the after effects of the Darwin trip. (Not the distance of course but the conditions).

Anyone know if any other teams have three straight 6 day breaks with  a big interstate trip in the middle?

We have been shafted by the AFL schedulers, I am surprised PJ let them get away with it.

we asked for QB and the Friday night game so you can't really complain

Ideally the Friday night game would be another time but as you can see from our opposition (interstate team) and time of year (dead winter) we were not top of the pile.

Watts on a wing... powering back and fwd... fantastic.

You think PJ has the power to stop the AFL machine?

If we can win with these challenges, it proves that we are up around the mark.  No excuses any more.  When we play, we should win.  Anywhere, any competition.  That will mark the start of our next chapter, and our true entry into the premiership window.

We as supporters need to move on from feeling hard done by by the fixture.

The club requested the first part of the season games be in Victoria to help with getting members, so not travel.

Our last 3 games this year are at the G.  .

The end result is our travel is condensed into the middle of the season.

DL has long called for a bye after a NT game and we got that this year.

We can't have everything. 

On the positive side the team (players, coaches, support staff etc) really enjoy going away together - get to know each, comradeship etc.  Important things to build a team and teamwork in the wider sense.

I loved Goody's attitude to the 3 short breaks it was "bring it on". Other coaches (like Scott or Hardwick) have had a cry about similar in the past.

Answering my own question

http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-fixture-2017-release-the-winners-and-losers-from-the-draw/news-story/89f589adea09af357ed108fa70c313f6

We have the equal most six day breaks -  8.  Equal with Geelong, GWS, Hawthorn and Doggies. Not sure if any of them have three in a row, though I guess they would at some point.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
