Badly need some fresh legs. Try Gus at half back, he's getting exploited in the midfield anyway. Fresh runners through the middle. Try something different up forward. Keilty to hit the packs, Tim Smith as the 3rd tall who gives more at ground level than most in our side.

    In - Stretch, Lockhart, Garlett - runners, some even with speed.

    I haven't been overly enamoured with Kielty but he cant be worse than TMac, or for that matter, Weideman - equally horrible and cant mark the footy to save himself at the moment.

    Don't really care who goes out - we stink

    I’d drop Spargo who has no idea what he’s doing out there defensively. 

    I’d also pretend to “rest” at least one of Hibberd, Jones and TMac. 

    Forget pretending, Tommy Mac must go (at least Jones and Hibbard got near the ball) along with Lewis and Spargo...

    Where are all those calling for Lewis to come back into the side to add some experience. For Fu.......sake.

    He is a liability, the pity is we don't have anyone to replace him.

    Play him at CHB FFS the forward line has failed him.

    Our best at delivering inside 50 are Milkshake and Angus.  Play them high half forward.  Bring in Jeffy and Lockhart to rove, and to lock the ball in the forward 50.  Tom Mac will be persisted with but he is terrible ATM.  We really need Aaron Vandenberg and Hannan back at half forward, and Lever/May in the backline.  Frost did OK tonight, I thought.  My guess is we will not be as brutal as we would like.

    Ins:  OMac, Petty, Lockhart, Jeff, Maynard, Kielty

    Outs: Spargo, Jones, Jetta (inj), TMac (desire, but unlikely), J Wagner, Take your pick of 7-8 others.

    Wingman

    Yes, I am old and understand there has been many changes to game styles but could someone explain why the Club that produced Robbie Flower, Alan Johnson and Stan Alves in my time has no belief in the need to have a talented wingman  who can play at the MCG

    Hunt and T. McDonald to the backline for starters.  We need Hunt’s pace to defend the opposition rebound and TMac needs to freshen up and find his form again.  Hunt if not a forward.

    Jeffy gets a run in the forward line and must be demanded to tackle everything that moves.  

    Give Jones a defensive forward role in the pocket and tell him to make every ground ball a contest.  Hopefully snag a couple too.

    Lockhart back in.  I like him; things seems to ‘happen’ when the ball is in his hands.

    Weideman and Preuss stay as the talls up forward; not expecting a big bag from either, but hopefully a contest supported by Jeffy, Jones and Lockhart, will see a better outcome than today.

     

     

    Um... don’t really know after that.

    My worry is that with how much the tigers will destroy us by and how insipid we are, our performance could cost us anzac eve.

    I've watched Casey enough times to wonder why Oskar Baker isn't getting a run. We desperately need pace and I'm bamboozled as to why he wasn't given a run last season. Now's the time.

    We do have Bailey Fritsch ..... but he is, I believe, being played as a defender.

    Desperate times, season all but over, time to see who we have on our list.

    ins: Stretch, Lockhart, Jeffy, Sparrow

    TMac goes back or out, Fritsch to a wing or half forward

    outs: Lewis, Spargo, the Wagners

    Anyone for a goddamn crumbing defensive forward. FML how many times can 17 players fly for the same mark up forward and watch a lone opponent run away with the footy?

    Petraccattack, I've probably gone early but he couldn't do worse than Spargo.

    Both captains on notice also.

    For now.

    In : O Mac, Lockhart, Garlett.

    Out: Wagners, Spargo 

    O Mac surely gets back in if Jumping Jack plays. Frost to Lynch. At least with O Mac the Richmond talls will be forced to jump to mark the ball. Fritsch and Hibbo are not key defenders. Hore can go to Caddy and try to run off him, Hunt can go back to play on their mozzie fleet.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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?
