Shocking team selections.

ANB and Melksham stay in after having 0 influence on the scoreboard and also defensive pressure.

Hibbered missing after ankle soreness. There was whispers before the game last week he would potentially miss due to his ankle. They play him on Walter's and he kicks 3 goals and wins them the game. We had a fit Lockhart and Jetta ready to go.

Hope we get absolutely smashed.

Agree with all of that except the last sentence

How does Spargo get back in?

Must have played a blinder in a scratch match somewhere in last few days. Got me beat. We have a shocking/pathetic forward line HOWEVER we have played well at the Gabba so there is some hope, maybe.

How the hell does ANB get a game. It is a joke of a side.

They have made 8 changes and not many sides win when making 8 changes but GWS will put that to the sword on saturday. Pile up your fridge and get ready for the Goodwin thread.

ANB you can forgive being first game back, Melky.... not so much even with the  tagged role he played last week.

Yep and I’m going to the game so that will be fun. 
 

I know I’m lucky to be able to go to a game by bloody hell its the first time in a long time I’m not looking forward to it or excited to be going. 
 

Sad but true.

Changes are very beige granted they probably right some things that didn’t work last time. 

Gee TMac is on the outer. Hoping Nev can show them what it means to play every game like its your last.

It is obvious to me that he is injured.

Dropping Preuss and Bedford is the right call.

Replacing Preuss with Brown rather than TMac is justifiable but questionable. Have to query where TMac is at.

Replacing Bedford with Spargo is fair enough, it's not like Hannan was in any better form when he was in the side.

I love Neville and am glad to see him back but there is no reasonable way he should be in front of Lockhart based on 2020 output. It doesn't make sense for us to be naming Lockhart as an emergency if he's injured or unfit. I do not understand the Lockhart omission and continue to disagree with it.

I'm happy with the selections. It's not an inspiring lineup but the players currently out of the team were all given chances and didn't perform. Swapping all of our forwards every week doesn't help anyone, so I'm glad to see slightly more continuity.

I envy you for being able to go demonox. Even if there are games here next year I doubt we will be able to go.

He has to have some sort of injury.

Does Nev go to Greene 'titan'??? he's got the physical strength and game smarts, Greene is not lightning.

Surely we wouldn't play Hunt or Salem on him.

Maybe Smith but I hope not.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
