    Obviously need to replace some injuries (Hore, Petty, Tmcd) and bring back Lever and Gawn.  

    Likely ins are definitely Gawn & Lever.  Would love to give Bedford a run to show how desperately vital a small forward is. 

    Hibberd  May  Lever
    Salem Frost Lewis
    Fritsch  Viney  Brayshaw 
    Petracca  Weid  Hannan
    Bedford  Preuss Hunt
    Gawn Harmes Olive r
    Jones Lockhart Dunkley Anb

    Key missing - Jetta Melksham Tmcd Hore Vandenburg JSmith

    Zac Fisher played out the game and appeared unaffected. Low impact. Lewis cops a fine at worst despite his record.

    Agree $1000 fine at worst

    Hard to argue with that. Let's keep Preuss in.

    agreed

    (now you watch - christian always goes suspension-hunting after a pies loss...lewis to cop a week or two guaranteed)

    are we 100% sure that gawn will be right to go? will they bring jetta back despite his form looking less than ideal in the magoos?

    IN: lever, gawn, j wagner
    OUT: t mac, hore, petty

    if lewis goes then you'd expect baker would be back in or jordon may debut

    tbh i'd probably take either of those over j wagner, but they might want extra mid-size defensive coverage

    Agree with all this except Oscar. Surely Josh Wagner comes in before him.

    So delayed concussion symptoms Carlton doctors will claim, 4 weeks for Lewis?

    Gawn for Tommy and Lever for Hore the obvious ones.

    Not sure he had much of a game at Casey but I’d love to put Baker back in on the fast Etihad track and leave Fritsch at half back if Petty doesn’t get up.

    JKH?? If we have to I guess, but are we really expecting him to get another go next year?

    Yes baker back. His second half was good yesterday and I feel is better suited to AFL then VFL. 


    Could be on my own here, but I'm not sold on bringing Gawn back to play against a running team on a quick hard deck with his injury.

    IN: Lever, JKH, Baker

    OUT: TMac (inj), Petty (conc), Hore (inj)

    Try Dunkley in the middle for a couple of short stints

    Agree- Lockhart looks tired. Lack of preseason is catching up. No point in burning him out.

     

    I thought Lockhart was more involved in contests than Hannan. Id have JKH for either.

    How close is Nev to a call up? Is 1 VFL game enough? Jetta into the backline, Fritsch forward?

    Goodwin hinted at two weeks.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
