That would make far more sense.

Would be happier to drop Tyson, Play Fritta on a wing and use Smith up back!

Not a defender at all Winger or smart HFF For mine!!

I remember Smith last year against Saints before he did his shoulder and playing pretty well on Rooey! 

Gets my nod!

Tyson very fortunate!

To be honest I think I would prefer Fritsch to Hannan up forward. To me he offers far more.

 

I feel for Bailey if he has been dropped, but Smith gives us the best chance in defence of negating WC's talls. If we win the midfield battle, they won't be getting any easy ball in there and winning one on ones may be important

I think other than the Petty selection, the FD IMO has done pretty well and we are in a Prelim after all.

Frost not playing for so long might be the other one.

Hannan is a much more dangerous player and harder at it.

Think Goodwin said today that if Melbourne win on Saturday a number of players will be pulled from the Casey game on Sunday for back up should anything go wrong during the week. 

Why on earth would you do that? The whole (uninjured) team will be available, albeit with a 6-day break, further, all will have a VFL Premiership under their belt! Stupidest idea I have ever heard! I want to see two Demon Premierships in 2018! ?

Channel 7 just confirmed Fritta got dropped for J.Smith

 

Official Smith for Fritsch:  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-09-20/preliminary-final-team

The emergencies Jay Kennedy Harris, Jayden Hunt, Fritsch and Tim Smith two of whom will go to Perth

Bad luck Bayley....   maybe back in for the Grand Final.

Sheppard out for the Eagles.

Heartbreak for the kid, but Joel is a better defender and a good intercept mark.

We need our best possible defensive set up to combat the likes of Kennedy,Darling, Rioli, Ryan and LeCras.

We've lost one of our best kicks.

In a game that will be hot on a fast track, who would you prefer kicking the ball into the forward line, Fritsch or Tyson?

Tyson isn't as bad as people make it seem. Like i said Fritsch was guilty of blazing away and not picking out a target.

Edited by MurDoc516


Can only feel for Fritz, has had an amazing year.

Hopefully Joel steps up to the plate!

The kid will spew but I suspect it's a decision based on aerial defensive skills.

 

Well. I feel a bit better knowing we have now given ourselves a plan B incase darling or JK gets off the leash. 

 

truth be told...how nice it is to be in the position to have to make heartbreaking decisions...


Well I gotta say Tim Smith AS EMERGENCY IS EVEN A BIGGER SURPRISE!!

Jeffy? Pedo?? Bigger call!?

Well there is no room for sentiment. Feel for Fritta but cest la vie...

feeling confident our pressure will pump them. All the pressure is on them really...

Very tough on Fritta, he’s had an excellent year and has done very little wrong. 

Big call from the selection committee but I’ll back Smith in.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
