Garlett was good in VFL so he has at least put his hand up.

Spargo cannot be dropped on today's form though.

 

I agree with above:

Viney and Hannan in.

Tyson and Kent out. 

Simples (chipmunk squeak)

    Hannan and Viney in,hope we don't get anymore injuries though cupboard is starting to get a bit bare. Don't want our finals campaign to be derailed.

    Spargo will benefit the most from a week off, so he stays in.

    JKH made a few critical errors and it was painfully obvious most players were looking for options other than him, even when he was the open player. Other than that he was ok.

    For me it's Tyson and Kent out for:

    Viney and Hannan.

    Would also look at JKH for Garlett but JKH applies way more pressure and covers the ground. Garlett, on song, kicks goals. Tough one. 

    Do not want Bugg

    Watch the highlights and look how many goals Spargo was directly involved in ... he is a silent assassin.  So many important touches.

    With two weeks to freshen up he will play vs the Cats....  not bad playing your first final at 18 years of age!

    Spargo was far from great today

    Crumbed well, distributed well and set up a few goals. Will be playing finals on today’s effort, take it to the bank!

    It looks as if there will be two compulsory changes.

    I wouldn't be so sure. 2 weeks is a long time in footy, especially come finals.

    LOL at all the Richmond supporters having a meltdown for copping the Thursday night.

    The AFL clearly giving the viewers what they want for Friday night footy.

    Just you wait. Fast forward 12 years and we'll have won 5 premierships and it'll be the first non-finals year of his career. He'll be the reverse Jones.

    There's a job to do for sure.

    I suspect one of Tyson and Kent will get up. So for mine would be:

    Viney for JKH

    Joel Smith for either Tyson/Kent, then move Fritsch up the ground (wing or forward).

    If Garlett plays another decent game, selection could get tricky, especially as the logical out if he comes in would be Spargo - which would be a bit stiff.

    Going to throw a curve, what if Hunt passes his test and plays in VFL unscathed on Saturday? Would you put him on the short list of ins? Geelong aren't known for being a quick team and his pace could be handy against that mob.

    Could possibly be:

    Ins: Hannan, Viney, Hunt

    Out: Kent, Tyson, JKH.

    Didn't mind JKH today, but I do like hunts pace. The cat's have been a tough assignment for us, I think we need to load up with whatever weapons we have.

    What a great run from vanders to be entrenched in that side. Amazing.

    If Tyson is done then Viney and Hannan.

    JKH survives as he is serviceable and is more use than Bugg. 

    vandenFyfe is showing why I fell in love with him from that first NAB Challenge game.

    Having said that, I really doubted his body would hold up like he has but so good to see him back in the team as a vital contributor.

    He is also a big effing unit and uses the whole apartment.

    I think Spargo is underrated a little round these parts.  He had a hand in a number of goals today with his crumbing work.  As others have stated, with Kent and Tyson both going out, there is no chance that Spargo doesn't play.  

    Spargo really showed his worth for mine today especially in the second half. I know he’s probably feeling it but he’d be pretty stiff to get droppped based on today.

    Humility and Hawkins are not even close. 

    Frost should get the matchup this time.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
