Bbb can't do it all.

At present he really is are only tall.

Melk has been good but isn't a big man . Neither is Fritta.

WWXcan't play Weid but if we have Jackson in the ruck...Max is nit a reliable link to leave up fwd.

It's a huge gamble playing Tmac ...I'm not sure Goody will risk it.

Can Tomlinson play fwd or is he injured?

No way TMac plays before at least another Casey game IMO. If I were him I’d be mentally preparing for a tilt at a Casey flag and treat anything else as a bonus.

Agree, if we win through to the GF there is no way the FD will change the team unless there's an injury.

The chances are an injury could well appear and T-Mac could be near the top of emergencies or close to next in line (because of his versatility)

Not forgetting that we have had a number of players who have missed out on selection because of a late injury (not publicised) or for Covid reasons

And in an ideal world the MC might like him in the team (above the depth players)

If we can make it to the GF Tom could find himself in the team by default

let's say we win on Friday and Melksham has a poor to middling game.

T Mac plays VFL the following week and plays a decent but not spectacular game

Who gets picked for the PF

And just to make it more interesting Smith kicks three and has four goal assists in the VFL game

I would not be playing Mitch Brown regardless of his VFL form.

Three games this year. Averaged 8 disposals. Goal-less in two games. Two goals v Crows in a 6 goal win.

Yep there’s no point risking next year. He said the injury is a 6 month One and he’s back playing in 3 months. I know it’s all about flags and premiership medallions but we will be there abouts next year as well so better to have a fit and firing KPF as we are low in stocks and the ones we do have are not in the best health.

Depends how poor Melksham was and how T Mac feels but on face value I would play T Mac in the prelim.  very harsh on melksham but a second talls adds a lot to our structure around the ground, not just up fwd

Smith - Casey

Just last year Hibberd was out after r22 (dropped? Injured?) then missed r23 and the QF

Recalled for the PF when Smith was injured

Im 100 % sure Tmac won't be selected unless via injury.

 

Too late for such a risk and too much at stake.

 Sad.

If TMac fully fit and played 3-4 games he would obviously be in the team.

Watching him last weekend he looked slow and lacking in mobility - totally understandable after his injury!

He would need to improve nearly 50% in his next vfl game on what he showed last weekend to be considered for selection in the finals series.

The trouble with TMAC is after an injury, it takes him a good 5-6wks to get into form and is usually woeful in that time. I wish he was fit and firing though.

That is simply not true. I have posted stats on this before, You are perpetuating an urban myth.

That's your opinion.

Not everyone else's some more positive others are very positive.

Still has next weeks PF for match play with Casey Dees or Our Semi if considered ok if we don't win.

The deeper we get into the finals series the better he's going to get and I find it a reassuring thought to know we have him sitting in our back pocket

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
