    How must Hore be feeling after 2 or 3 very good games at Casey, to still be behind Oscar in the pecking order

    Last week was Hore's first game back after missing 3 weeks

    Mac as backup ruckman .....really. I hope Drysdale is correct and there are late changes ie Hore and Stretch. Oscar can never say he wasn't given opportunities

    I legit cannot in the world find a simple Match up for McDonald.  

    The only reason I can think of is that we are now officially tanking for Noah Anderson. 

    They’ll literally run circles around those defenders. Baffling selections.

    OMac retains his spot and no Hore. Goodwin said Collingwood have some really good smaller players so we’ll need players who can play on big and small. Watch their forwards run rings around OMac. I give up. 

    OMac can play on smalls and talls. Just very, very poorly!

    That won't get them far ET!   Might make them dizzy, though.  Cunning plan?

    I'm so over this. I can't believe Hore isn't named against a forward line with one tall.  I know May and frost can play on smalls at times. But ATM are out best two stoppers of big forwards.   Lever doesn't have an opponent as he floats and intercepts.  But to have them in back half with a slower Hibbard this year and then  McDonald is not able to take the big boys this year and is not smart enough to take the smalls is ridiculous.  I totally don't understand. Goodwin please stop treating us as complete fools.  What the hell is going on.

    Question:

    'Oscar played again after being dropped because Steven May got injured, not on the back of form at Casey. So if it weren't for Steven May's injury, Oscar would still be in the VFL and the 'myth' would be a truth. Would it not?' 

    Answer:

    Apparently not

    He's named on the bench.

    Perhaps he'll be a late out or perhaps May will spend some time forward.

    I'm thinking (preying) for late changes.

    Either that or May / O'Mac up forward. O'Mac spent a quarter up forward at Casey some weeks ago. It wasn't pretty

    It’s perplexing as to what happened to OMac really.

    He wasn’t too bad last year and seemed to be tracking ok.

    This year he has turned into a complete spud.

    Can’t have that when yr tank...er, experimenting

    Don’t see how Hore doesn’t come in for either Wagner or OMac. 

    With May, Lever, and Frost in the line up Oscar not only feels like we’re going in with poor match ups but two turnover merchants in Frost and Oscar. Hore may also have those issues but at least he’s able to take a defensive mark. 

    OMac and Frost should not be in the same team unless absolutely necessary.

    Petty.

    May forward.

    OR pending the weather they may drop OMac all together and bring in Hore. It's a very tall backline for a possibly wet and windy day.

    I'm surprised as anyone Omac is in. May forward might well be the reason.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
