I/C from: Petracca, O. McDonald, Neal-Bullen, Petty, C. Wagner, Lockhart, J. Wagner, Dunkley

IN: Lever, Jetta, Gawn, O. McDonald, C. Wagner, J. Wagner

OUT: Hore (injured), T. McDonald (injured)

No surprises.

Interesting interchange.  Hopefully the final 4 are Petracca, Dunkley, Lockhart and ....

Glad the Big Scary Man gets another gig. 

Finally we get our best back 6 on the park!  For the first time it frees Salem or Fritsch to spend the whole game centre/forward.

    Backline starting to look good, on paper, very good. Hope the colours dazzle.

    Preuss has a big one to deliver at full forward, but probably a good Gawn rotation point and a cuppla goals to both would be nice. The Weed had better produce ... lump in the throat for further comment.

    Interchange preferences for me: Petracca, the two Wagners, Dunkley (or Petty).

    Don't mind this lineup on paper, but as they say...

    Like the combo of Weid and Preuss as the tall forwards, hoping that Weid's mobility and Preuss' lack thereof will mean they don't fly for the same ball too often.

    Back 6 is tantalizing, forward line would surely end up having Trac, Dunkley, Lockhart and either ANB or C.Wagner (from the extended bench) running through, as it's not the most creative group of players starting there.

     

     

    Pretty much sums up our calamitous season that it takes until Rd 16 to get our preferred starting back 6 on the park

    Who will be omitted from last week?

    Petty, Lockhart, ANB or Dunkley?

    Please make it ANB.

    Back 6 is great, now we just need a 120 min 6/6/6 rule change so they won't get scored over the back all day.

    Our back six is the best we've fielded all year  ......... as good as any in the ALF,  on paper.!  BUT gee they are under-done in terms of match fitness.  Hope they can stay together and build a real sense of cohesion in the back part of  the season, and more particularly into 2020.

    I agree Hannah Gadsby is a bit overrated.

    Do you guys think this is our best backline we can produce ? When all fit would Marty Hore gets a spot in their with how good he’s playing ? I could see him only replacing Salem or Hibberd with one of them going on to a wing. Thoughts ?

    Hoping to see Petracca, ANB, Dunkkley and Lockhart on the bench (with Petty making way and joining OMac and the Wagners as emergencies).

    Just not sure we need May, Frost, Lever and Petty in the side, let alone against the Dogs (and certainly not OMac on top of that).

    Seems the right balance against a smaller Dogs team.

    Hannah lucky as he isn’t doing much, and over his career seems like one great game, two okay, one bad and two shockers, needs to find some consistency.

    That is impressive:

    -D50 speed yep/attack on opponent (frost)

    -skill/D50 pressure (Jetta)

    -intercept marking /leadership (lever)

    -pure class ... (Salem)

    -force/D50  pressure (hibbo)

    -spoil/kicks (May)

    Let’s just hope the backline gels better than our forward line!!!

    The best back line in the AFL does not excite me, the best back line with a non  existent forward line won't win you games, no great team ever had the best back line without a great forward half.

    Edited by don't make me angry

    • 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 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?
