Fritsch forward to replace Tom.

Gawn back in his usual brilliance. 2 weeks for a sprained ankle is about right.

Keep Preuss in. He’s a great mark and a long kick. He had a good game today.

Lever to the backline to replace Hore. 

Maynard or Jordon in for potential and development. They did well at Casey. The Wagners are just no good.

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

    Spoke to him before game today. He hopes to be available for selection this week.

    Gawn to replace TMac is probably fine, although we don't want to be too tall at Marvel against the Dogs.

    I can't see a good argument for OMac getting Petty's spot, the more so if Lever comes in for Hore. I'd like more run, whether that's JKH or J Wagner.

    i would like to see ANB replaced, his 15 disposals at a 54% efficiency rate was again poor. he needs to go back to casey and learn to dispose of the ball and kick straight. It will be good to have lever in next week, though something needs to be done about the way Frost, May and Lever play together. Frost often goes for the mark and or the punch and too often has had May crashing into the the pack to punch the ball, which often takes out half of our back line players and allows the opposition to run into goal.

    Saw the Lewis bump again. 

    Late got him flush in the head. Probably low impact but it was intentional. Think that might be a week still but not expert in all the BS rules

    We manged to keep the ball locked in our fwd 50 for most of the first half and ANB we great with his run, chase and pressure. No way he goes out. I think it'll be injury replacement only, if Gawn is ready then he'll bully English and it should be a big advantage. Lever will be back as well. I think they'll also bring in omac for petty, so the same team structure is kept

    Who says Petty will miss? Lots of players play a week following a concussion.

    I like Frost forward idea

    Fast, defensive run covers the switch

    Will hopefully have Preuss forward 

    Frosty is up there among my favourite players  Graeme YM 

    Love his enthusiasm  and the excitement he brings

    However, my heart could do without the “excitement “ of Frostball kicking for goal

    Well, where do we start?

    Jake Lever replaces Marty Hore (collar bone) ✅

    Max Gawn replaces Tom McDonald (knee) ✅

    Oscar McDonald replaces Harry Petty (concussion) ✅

    Was Petty’s Concussion that severe?

    I dunno

    Torp from 60 would be good

    Nev only played a half, so I doubt they will bring him in

    Would be a decent chance to miss anyway with Lever coming back in. Don't need 4 tall defenders against the Doggies IMO.

    Lever is back

    Because Frost was sooooooooo good as a forward last time we tried?

    Yeah, nah.

    Don’t disagree but with Hore a definite out I think Lever will play a sweeper role. Frost and May can both play small and I think Petty has showed enough to be given as much experience as possible at the top level.

    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

    won't play jetta. he only got a 1/4 in the magoos

    Definitely not against Petty playing, but on a quick deck against a 'smaller' quicker team I would guess the selection committee would be looking at changing up the mix of talls anyway.

    Yep, because they are morons.

    You’re probably right. I guess winning is not really a motivator for me at this stage of the season. I look forward to seeing the kids develop and getting something positive out of this horrible year.

    • 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.

      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?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
