Id call for Melksham out but Fritta may be suspended, others will howl me down and Goodwin will never drop him so there.

    After what Cunnington did today I’m mortified about what the combination of Hickey and JPK do next week.

    We are already a bad clearance side but I can see that getting ugly quickly.

    I’d seriously look at bringing in Harmes to tag him because we can’t afford for what happened today to happen next week.

    The likes of ANB and Spargo will need a rocket too because we know Sydney will try to play keepings-off to beat our zone (like North did for much of today) so our pressure cannot slip one iota.

    We’ve beaten Sydney once at the MCG since 2001. They are officially now our number 1 bogey team and have given us all sort of problems over the last 15 years as we’ve won just twice against them.

    I guess the big question is does T Mac remain down back or does Petty come in to replace Tomlinson.

    Our midfield depth is an issue for me.

    Viney always has this foot problem.

    When Oliver is held like he was for three qrts Trac has do do it all.

    Jones is way past his midfield days.

    Jordan is good but if Trac or Oliver are injured...we are cooked.

    More games into Sparrow.

    Who else is there?

    Sparrow in for Baker (assuming Viney doesn't get up)

    Petty for Tomlinson (or do we go Majak for some X factor?)

    Chandler for Jones

    If Fritch is rubbed out, Weid in.

    * I'm not keen on going the TMac back route - this isn't a stopgap - Tomlinson will be out to mid 2022 if it's an ACL. Time to get some time into Petty for that role.

    I saw the Fritsch incident. A fend off elbow to the head.

    If the MRO charge him he’ll be missing at least 2 you’d think as the North player was hurt.

    So I expect him to miss unfortunately.

    The North player played out the game.

    If he missed the rest of the game due to concussion then yes I'd be worried.

    I would rather see Petty come in and Keep TMac forward where he has been very good.

    That helps in terms of a possible punishment.

    Do you think it was a reportable incident?

    Petty in for Tommo is a must

    Conditions will determine team structure.  If the weather is ok, Weids in for Melksham. Viney to return for baker.

    So can Tom play back and we just bring in weiderman to play forward? I'd have a bit more faith having McDonald down back than Petty.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
