Better Ins this week. Let's see how the balance looks with more pace and smalls in the team to provide pressure.

Posted (edited)

Best selections for a while.   Exactly what we have been calling for on here.

Two small crumbers, some speed, and an outside mid who can spread.

Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run.  So many logical reasons to do this...but they...its footy

Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond  "about time"inclusion

I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

Jeffy when on song is a terrific small forward. He has surely done his penance and is at his best on the big AFL stage not at some VFL sideshow.

God I hope Frost isn't playing forward. 

Doubt it... he'll be doing Petty's job ...or rather..playing down back ?

Hard to argue with the outs, like for like position-wise, except we've exchanged a tall + small forward for two smalls.

Tyson done? Would be a shame, he has some abilities.

Paul Roos questioned the selection of the team of late... 

He hinted the selection committee didn’t know what they were doing. I agreed!

I see a common theme in the inclusions...

Might they play Jeffy deep...and Spargo high ?

Height not so important in conditions..speed and endurance is.

I don't mind this team...as such

From a personal perspective pretty disappointed Dec didn’t get in this week, at least he is an emergency though. I understand why the chose who they did, hopefully it’s s good game.

Yes! Jeffy AND Spargo in the same team. 

Great job Goody. 

Stretch makes more sense than Tyson. 

Unfortunately for Dom he is our 5th or 6th best inside mid and cannot play on the out side to save himself. 

Frost in was a must.

Good selections overall.  I think we needed to go a little smaller, especially in Darwin with the slippery conditions, but I think it makes us a more balanced side.

Interestingly, Frost has been named at FF.  Will he actually play there is another thing, but they might be using him as the pinch hitter in the ruck this week.

Aren't we forgetting that Garlett has been very underwhelming in the magoos? What happened to rewarding form at VFL level?

Inconsistent selection choices yet again imo

Somebody give Frosty Tony Campbell's super sticky footy mitts! He may be frosty but he is no lover of the pre-frost precursor dew.

Agree BUT....He had 7 tackles, maybe that is what they were looking for, forward pressure not necessarily disposals?

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
