It was pretty much confirmed for me when he went off last week but I just wanted to know when a late change has to be announced/confirmed. 

Team sheets are due in xxx (I think around 30 minutes) before the game starts. That's the last time for a change save for a "fresh" injury after submission. (Travis Boak was withdrawn yesterday during the warm up for example. Interesting ... he suffered back spasms which one would think could be described as a pre existing injury.)

The official team sheets have to be in 90 minutes before the bounce, so I guess we'll hear officially sometime around 11.40ish.

@Supermercado

Can't be McGovern, we've heard of him. Will be some bloke who has played three games as a defender now kicks five.

    Just wished our coach ‘all the best’ ( 3 wonder )for today, after crossing his path in East Malvern earlier this morning.

    Utterly meaningless game today....but decided to go along anyway despite being hospitalised with a fairly serious issue 2 weeks ago (after the win over Freo funnily enough)....what else have I got to do with my Sunday eh? Looking forward to see Kyle debut if nothing else!

    On a hiding to nothing today.

    We win and they’ll say we beat a Cripps less and Curnow less Carlton,  and our coach will embarrass himself with his emotional hugging and embracing of all 22 players, like he’s done with all our other mediocre wins this year.

    Lose, and we’ll rightly cop it left, right and centre.

    If we don’t win today I very much doubt I’ll bother to watch another game this year. 

    I’m actually expecting us to play out best footy of the year and hand Carlton their arses.

    Beau Maister?  Worst player since Beau Wilkes.

    If MFC put our best player at risk of exacerbating his injury in a nothing game, in a nothing season, I will be livid. 

    Not going today. Frankly can’t be bothered anymore. I didn’t miss a game voluntarily under Bailey or Neeld or Roos. But I’m exhausted from this season. Gonna watch from home where I can turn it off and do something better if things go wrong as they have all season. 

    Bring on 2020!

    Well I have no idea what will happen today. No gawn is a huge loss but I'm looking forward to see preuss get a go and see what he can do. 

    Also looking forward to seeing dunkley debut.  

    I really hope Preuss does well.  For him.  For the team.  For the sanity of all the posters on DL who have been begging for him to play.

    'Break a leg' big scary man!

    Not long now, Demons win and Dunkley kicks a couple. Good Luck Dunks, have a ripper!

    I am on the way jaded, I had a lovely morning with my granddaughters and I am think I should have stayed with them. I know how you feel.

    Yes, but why the intrigue and disruption. Why would you risk Gawn even having to try and bit fit. Should have had his feet up, figuratively speaking all week.

    At least you spared them the danger of seeing a win and getting hooked by  going with you.

    Wish him all the best. I hope I'm wrong but I always thought his role was to free up Gawn not replace him. Bit of an unfair test if supporters are expecting more.

    Preuss with support from Tom Mac and Weideman against Kreuzer... this could be instructive

    Think we may win but if we don't then the carnage may begin.

    The way the Doggies played. That is a team with spirit and s culture. Why can’t Melbourne play like that?

    The Doggies had to fight to keep the Club alive and they now really stand for something in the Western suburbs with strong community networking, interaction and planning. Now they have the facilities that go hand in hand with the fighting spirit. That is why I see what they have achieved as a model for our future home base and a clean start.

    Home base! Surely you joke.

     

    Put me in the ‘can’t be bothered’ camp for today

    First game I’ve voluntarily missed since the loss to Sydney last year when I’d just had a tooth extracted and the boss said under no circumstances was I to leave the house

    In an attempt to raise my morbid spirit, I gave myself a jolly good flogging before leaving The Manor 

    I’m a better man for it

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
