Is he a late out

Just heard he could be a late withdraw on the news, who knows if there's anything in it.

    must say I thought the same but it was an 8 day break

    the pins are falling ... we really need to win the next two games (they're the easy ones)

    I might be a little left field here but I would bring in Jetta to back pocket, Hibberd to HBF and Salem into Petraccas spot in the middle or forward--basically let Salem take the role Petracca has and still cover the defence with experience.

    well fair to say, given we’re down viney, jackson,  tommo and Petracca it should no longer be classified as an easy game . Although  imo it wasn’t going to be an easy game anyway, the blues really should have crushed the doggies last week. They’re better than their  ladder position shows. Will be a good win if we can pull it off.

    Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see Trac have a week off after that corky. He looked really sore after the game. 

    Sparrow would be my tip to come in if he does end up missing, the other option is bring Baker in to take the wing role and move Gus into the guts. The good news is that the match is Sunday so we have the time to see how he recovers. 

    Trac is currently on 66 games with out a miss he will play not the type to miss from a niggle

    Corkies aren't niggles! unless you look after them, potential for serious injury prevails. Happy for him to miss this week!

    From the cocky 8-0 corner: tap Kysaiah for some of Trac's middle minutes. Bring in Bedford or Chandler to cover those lost up forward. Brayshaw can pitch in in the middle too. I know we got slaughtered in the centre-clearances last week, but Oliver, Harmes and Brayshaw should have it covered, and the extra small will balance the extra tall. Keep challenging Pickett while we're in the black.

    We'll have a better idea tomorrow when Casey plays.  That team has been announced (see Casey R 05 thread) and the only two missing names of those available for selection are Weideman and Chandler, which suggests both are in the 23 for Sunday (late changes excepted of course).

    Signs a 7year contract and going soft?

    Could we see Gus into Trac's role, TMac to the wing, given Weid and Brown are both in?

    is there confirmation that petracca isn't playing? if he isn't, sparrow would presumably be the next cab off the midfield ranks

    OUT: petracca, jackson
    IN: weideman, sparrow

    starting 22(+1)...
    B: Hibberd - May - Lever
    HB: Hunt - Petty - Salem

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
