I wouild have Jackson and Sparrow in the side with ANB and Brown out.

ANB may well end up out-running as a tag on Tipungwuti. He has the recovery and endurance if he is quick off the mark - ie: not chasing from afar. The team is picked but I'd expect it to be variable with several players doing tasks unexpectedly. As part of this, I'd like to see Smith rotating (with someone across the game) into the forward line for some goal kicking-practice or an intercept mark and feed, for example. He'd be handy doing that if we make the finals.

From what I heard, his hammy was right this week, he was told early in the week by Goodwin that he hadn't earned his spot back.

Do you really expect the club to tell supporters and media about the reason why 22 other blokes are not in the squad? 

Lockhart is a mid- range player that has others in front of him, no commentary required.   It’s not like they are leaving Gawn out of the side. 

Turn it up.
Was in the squad for weeks in a row, didn't drop in form, all of a sudden out of the team, no mention as to why.

can count 7 players that you can argue should/shouldn't be in the team.

Perhaps. But the 7 players who could replace them are in the same boat.

Brown & Weiderman didn’t kick a goal between them & Weids is goaless for last 3 games .. what’s up with Tom Mac??? Would be good to see him get one on one with a defender as very strong plus a great kick..

Lockhart, first season last year and has only played about 20 games, some people have no idea.

Wrong.

Lockhart supporter. Keep saying the same thing though: anyone who wants an insight into selection go and closely watch the replay of our Bulldogs match. Kid isn't ready yet. Major positioning issues. But I think another pre-season and he will be a main-stay. Hibberd for Jetta (who was injured as far as I can recall) is fair. Jay can take Jetta's spot next year.

Doesn't bode well for Tmac's future

Probably better for Harmes to miss and get a clear preseason in than risk doing it again

Agree... that's why it is a mid level team at best

plenty of time to discuss in the off season which I think will start in about 24-48 hours

I must of missed the games where he dominated.  
I hope they send out of a report to why Dunkley and Corey Wagner aren’t playing.  It’s completely ridiculous they haven’t said anything.

Tomald having zero agility or the ability to take a contested mark or kick goals and then no confidence didn't bode well for his future. Take whatever we can get which will probably be nothing. The club didn't majorly err in a contractual sense (can't wait for the hindsight heroes on here to pipe up soon), but it's just an unlucky fact of nature where we now need to cut our losses. Chronically injured and never got back. Simples. All clubs cop it.

Jetta a bit stiff thought Smith would get axed. Hibberd is a good in can't complain about that.

Will probably be very stiff seeing as he hadn't played for an age.

Had to be Lockhart (if available) for Nev surely

Oh wait he is out.  Sorry been on the turps

Comparing players who haven't played a game this year, to one who has consistently played games, good move.

Lots of Lockhart supporters.

Just a battler.

Agree.

I'm surprised he's not in the side given opposition goals come overwhelmingly from smalls and mediums.

Bringing jetts back in a pretty clear sign there are not too many other options.

And I like his energy and attack on the ball carrier. But he is pretty limited and is another dee with sketchy foot skills.

Not the team line up i imagined the start of the season aiming for finals.

Will be interesting to see how we go.

We still lack some real offensive class but Brown and spargo have stood up in recent weeks.

Would love Kozzy to kick a bag today.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
