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.

    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.."

    • 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.
