One of the most pleasing sights was Gus involved in everything. The only one that  has stayed back to put in the extra yards with Cross.

God I hope Trenners gets a game.

Was hoping Rick Astley would be named in the guts.

Don't reckon it'll be this week based on the Plapp report - sounds like he still has cobwebs to be blown out. You would think he'll get another run sooner or later though.

Even as I was writing this, I was thinking "now that I've said this, it's sure to be wrong" and I was right. You'd think Smith will play based on that bench.

I don't want to rush him in, but I really want to see Joel Smith named in the final 22 considering White has been dropped and we're missing a head at half-back. He might also bring in some much needed team flexibility and allow Bernie and Lewis to play in the midfield which would solve our no Viney and Tyson dilemma.

  • Dean Kent
  • Jay Kennedy-Harris
  • Josh Wagner
  • Sam Weideman

I'd take Stretch, Trenners, Wagner and Smith.

 So happy to see Trenners get picked. I know I should just care about the team winning but i just really feel like he is a servant of the club and deserves a chance to prove he can still make out at the highest level.

I'm betting he is going to have a special game. Come on Dees!

Stretch has to be dropped if we're fair dinkum about doing the hard things. 2 weeks in a row he didn't put his head over the ball when he should've.

Have to agree with the sentiment, I'd love to see him smash it.

Our midfield is going to get pantsed

Definitely a chance to get smashed, but a starting three of Petracca, Oliver and Bernie/Lewis doesn't sound too bad. We'll struggle for quality depth through there though.

No Maynard?  I was way off, then.

Great to see Jesse and Jeffy back in our forward line.  Just having Hogan back should give the boys a huge lift coming in to this game.

Vince and Lewis are both named on back flanks, but you would assume that they will spend far more time through the midfield this weekend.  For that reason you could assume that Wagner keeps his spot and Joel Smith also comes into the side.  Neither gives us a huge amount of run but they may get rotated through there with Hibberd and Hunt.

After those two it's a raffle.  I don't think Weideman plays, so it's down to Kent, JKH, Stretch and Trengove.  It's anybodies guess from those 4 players.

Edit - and underestimate our midfield at your own peril.  It's a little light on for depth, but we will still run plenty of experience and talent through there during the game.

What chance We don't have as many coming off the back of the square?

 I think any chance we have for quick entries into our f50 with Hogan back and to he it away from their mids asap might be a tactic at times on Sunday.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Facebook vid the club put up lists 4 ins and 4 outs, and doesn't mention Trengove and a couple of others included on the extended bench. It says...

In: Hogan, Kent, Garlett, Smith

Out: Tyson, Bugg, Viney, White

Stretch was really disappointing against the Swans but I thought he was very impressive against West Coast. A number of our impressive plays from that night (especially when the heat was on) started from a Billy handball from the bottom of a pack.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
