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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
