Neale and Lester are significant upgrades on Mathieson and Madden, albeit Neale might be underdone.

Brisbane are imposing, but whilst it's true they've won their last 7, all but one of them have been in Queensland, and of those all but one have been at the Gabba. They've had a great fixture run after their shocking opening month.

So yes, they've beaten Port and Richmond, but they did so at the Gabba, where they've barely left for two months. 

They're surely no less beatable than the Dogs were last week.

 

Sparrow in. Good.

They have to think the same things about our midfield. 

i very much doubt they're wondering whether harmes is playing on oliver, petracca, jordon, pickett, anb or...himself?? ?

it should be a ripper of a contest between the midfields

still think gawn and jackson gives us an advantage over them

I'm happy with that call. Really happy to see Sparrow get a game.

Interesting emergencies: Baker, Bedford, Bowey and Mitch Brown.

M Brown getting into the emergencies but B Brown not.

Must be the "B" team


I like how the changes to the team are always minimal. No more than needed.

Building consistency in team selection is a feature of recent successful teams. Get the balance right and let it continue.

Sparrow a sound selection preferable to the lite-soy latte alternative being ‘floated’ by some DL pundits. We prefer our our ‘coffee’ ? and committed. No froth.

I always find these pejorative soy posts puzzling 

M Brown is much more versatile as an emergency than B Brown.

Bide your time Ben, your opportunities will appear.

Not that I ever wish injuries or anything but when he was originally injured and they announced how long he'd be out for I'm pretty sure it was beyond our match. How come our players never come back sooner?

Um . . . Steven May.

And for the same reason, ie consistency, I suspect jj will play wing and captain Jack the inside mid role jj has been playing in vice captain jack's absence.

Minimises positional movements

Steven May came back earlier than anticipated. 

Sparrow obvious choice. Brings the added grunt and physicality required for Brisbane. 
I would’ve been miffed if Baker was named. 
 

Good result. 

Took a few mins but I got there in the end. Thought Viney was playing. Stop getting my hopes up.

 


Bowey will be the sub.

Hi Stephen!

I thought you spelled your name differently??

I was sitting at the counter of a cafe when the waiter said to the barista 'Anthony Rocca'.  When I enquired what that was I was advised - weak skinny latte.

Go Yung Sparra

I think I prefer Bb but the club has done the right thing giving Sam W another game. 

He will neef to fire BIG TIME IMO

And if so Very Well deserved!!

Viney Tomlinson Langdon from best 22. 
 

Lions missing Gardiner and … otherwise at full strength

I think Harmes on McCluggage is a good move.

Both for our sakes and his own. Brown is a known quantity, Weid apart from 2 games at the end of 2018 has barely fired a shot. Last chance, hope he rips it apart with both hands.

Get some aggression going Weid.

Hopefully he will send the Luggage to Siberia

Really? Thought he had been injured in the twos for some reason.

Baker the sub for me. It would be poor form to be the sub in your debut.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
