That's a stronger team than I expected. Looks like the older guys rested: Lewis, Gawn, Vanders, Jetta, Hibberd

I took the liberty to change the positions around for the starting 18, left the bench as named.

The backline without May, Hibberd, Jetta and Lewis seems pretty weak, but there's enough in the midfield and forward line to put in a decent contest.

I noticed that - I took it straight from the article.  It looks like they did it for the first few and then gave up and just stuck any old names in there.

Fritsch should get number 2 and play on the wing...  :)

 

 

In 100 year from now when the majority of games are played in 38 degree temperature, they'll look back at this thread and laugh their heads off.

But they will be playing JLT’s on Heard Island in summer by then.

The AFL are probably beholden to their broadcast partners and therefore this is not an option for them.

If the AFL is beholden to the broadcasters, they're not partners. As I've said before, "broadcast partner" is a horrible expression. It is blatantly a false statement. "Broadcast overlord" is much more realistic.

Gawn, Jetta, Vanders and Hibberd are listed as emergencies on the AFL website teams

Still looks like a good side even with the 4 outs. J.Wagner must lift last chance to impress the selectors. I think we will by 12 points even though the tigs have a strong list.

The “outs” and how they appear to be tracking:-

1. Stephen May (hamstring) — due to return to full training shortly. 
2. Nathan Jones (hamstring /ba ck tightness) — should be fit to start the season. 
6. Jordan Lewis — rested? 
7. Jack Viney (ankle surgery) — should be fit to start the season.
8. Jake Lever (ACL surgery) — hopefully will be back training with the main group in about a month. 
12. Toby Bedford — not selected.
16.  Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) — available to play Round 1 but more likely in the VFL. 
18. Jake Melksham hamstring) — due to return to full training shortly. 
19. Mitch Hannan (knee) — return in the middle of the first half of the season. 
27. Aaron Nietschke (ACL surgery) — season 
35. Oskar Baker — not selected.
37. Kade Chandler — not selected.
38. Tim Smith — left training early on Thursday. 
43. Guy Walker (shoulder surgery) — return date not available.
46. Austin Bradtke — not selected.

You can add

11. Max Gawn - emergency - rested

14. Michael Hibberd - emergency - rested

22. Aaron vandenBerg - emergency - rested

39. Neville Jetta - emergency - rested

They better have stringent drug testing then.

I'm not convinced the so called "emergencies" aren't playing! Waiting for confirmation from MFC of final selection.

65 pints! That's heroic! I usually pass out after 15.

The biggest challenge will not be driving up the highway or standing in the heat, but it will be avoiding the Richmond fans who are up and about again. Just say over and over again to yourself ""this is just a practice game, this is just a practice game, and it does not count.."

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
