I worry about:
Vanders - huge first term then rarely sighted, just don't think he's got the run in the legs this year which is understandable. Small chance of suspension but unlikely, a fine if he's unlucky. If it wasn't for the bye after next week I'd be resting him coming back from Perth

Spargo - still like a lot of what he does but isn't being clean with the ball, not overly worried about his lack of strength in tackles but his clean ball use was excellent and has gone missing to an extent. Still want him in the final because he's a long term player

Oscar - think he's pretty likely to get suspended, even if undeserving, also had a bunch of yuck moments getting caught in tackles and letting Vardy sprint off him, before some strong spoils later in the game

Pedersen (Oscar), JKH (Spargo/Vanders) both options. Bugg a chance if they want to tag a wingman and just want more running in the side. Tim Smith a small possibility.

Tyson wont be playing finals.

Viney will be in week 1

Tyson has played some excellent footy since coming back in. 

Wont be dropped.

 

Did Goody hint in his presser than some players need rest, Clarrie...?

 


Hibberd won’t play nexr week. They won’t risk his hammy. He was struggling.

Players get their rest after round 23. 

No chance O Mac is even looked at fir the darling incident. Was a terrific tackle, one motion only. 

And Garlett back in after we got 22 players buying in and not choking?? Please!!

delist.

What's the odds they look at OMac cause darling got concussed, I thought he couldn't have tackled any better but they've gone on the outcome in other cases

Absolutely no chance of a suspension for Oscar.
AVB is a chance for a week for his errant elbow to the head o (I think?) Rioli. No chance of a penalty for the tunnelling/spoiling incident. Barely even a free kick that one.

Edited by Chook

Spargo to be replaced by Bugg (may be his last chance.),Keilty could be a surprise.

Is that why Tyson played forward for a stint?

Hadn't thought that far ahead.

They wanted to see what he looked like forward, when Vines is back in.?

Dare I say it, possibly Bugg for Spargo 

I think now we are guaranteed a finals berth, I would rest Spargo.  2 weeks off from AFL. 

A week off from footy,  then a game with Casey, during the bye week.

Unless we have injuries there is no way any changes will be made. This team did it's job and every player was involved. 

As others have said above - Absolutely no way does omac get looked at for that tackle. Text book. No malice and no undue care.

vanders will be looked at and may be lucky and only get a fine.

Did anyone suggesting Bugg watch him yesterday?  Complete turnover merchant.  He would have to do considerably better to get a look in.

Tyson gets absolutely no respect. I was a former Tyson hater too but he's very handy.

No change. If anyone goes out it could be Weidemann for Garlett or someone else with some pace. You need heaps of it on the G, and you need even more against GWS.

garlett who didn't even try yesterday?

I've seen Bugg play in the AFL too many times to know he's no chance of playing at this level again.

…or someone else with some pace. Not married to Garlett. Not even married to a change.

Garlett definitely doesn't come back in, barring him killing it for the VFL before the finals I feel like he's played his last game for the seniors for the year.

Spargo and Hibberd (hammy issue?) are the only changes I would look at. All the others that came in did what was asked of them and no one else did anything to warrant being dropped. I don't get the hate on Tyson, he's actually quite a good extractor of the footy which is why it's going to be interesting to see what happens when Viney is back.

Surely the most Vanders will get for his elbow will be a fine.

 

Oscar's tackle was exactly the same as the one where Joel Smith broke his collarbone, and no one got cited there. no change unless someone has a niggle, then give them the 2 weeks rest. Would love to get hold of Geelong in the finals.

Hannan and Kent both have plenty of pace. They just aren't very good natural crumbers. We've just got to keep getting them in the right positions.

T Mc and ANB can beat their opponents with run. And Melksham on a tall or slower defender has a good combination of pace/endurance, as does Spargo and Vanders. 

We had a number of excellent forward entries to Melksham and Hannan today and some good leading from all the guys. The long kicks to Tommy Mc and Weids were bought to ground but not crumbed. If Kent and Hannan in particular can find a bit of chemistry with the talls as soon as possible that would be great. Doubt it will happen but we can hope.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
