I don’t think Sparrow will play wing, so I’d like to see Hunt and Rivers alternate the position.

    I think Harmes on McCluggage is a good move.  

    Rayner is also missing, he’s easily in there best 22. It’s a good test, if we beat them tomorrow, then we can beat them come finals no issue, this will be there best chance. Loose and we have some excuses.

    Harmes will either go to Neale or Lyons. Think about what kind of player Libba is and how Harmes doing a job on that type can helped us last week at the source

    He won't go to McCluggage

    Market has swung with those changes. Brissy $2.15 into $1.85 which I think is about right. They should be favs 

    really more happy to go in as underdogs

    The loss of Langdon for this game cannot be underestimated. He always provides an option as an out when a player is in trouble

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

    Poor form?? I HAVE WATCHED training and seen Casey Games. This Kid if selected will go well and deserves his spot

    I think Harmes on McCluggage is a good move.  

    Also missing Cam Rayner and Jarrod Berry, both are best 22.

    But yes, they are pretty much on par with us in terms of strength of the 22 playing. Most other clubs have more missing than this.

    not what he means. He means it would be poor form by the club to make someone be the medical sub  in their debut

    i guess morally to debut a kid as a medical sub doesn't look great

    Good and simple change. I like the way the FD have been doing ins and outs, not trying to over complicate it. Best guess is that Jordon will have first go on the wing.

    I feel like this is a big week for Weid, he has to at least start being a cog in the machine, I feel like right now he’s not sure if he belongs. 

    Kozzie as well, he’s been relatively quiet in the last month, against one of the best teams and on the big stage it would be great to see him get back to form.

    I reckon he goes to Zorko

    Harmes needs to tag Lyons, he's their go to clearance winner and accumulator. Much like Libratore the week before. Zorko and Neale will match up well with Oliver and Petracca. Sparrow and Jordon are both good defensively minded players, so they will be able to stem the flow if either of the aforementioned players start to dominate for Brisbane.  Melbourne by 17.

    True ...however Bulldogs avoided the Langdon wing big time and went down the Bradshaw wing which is why he was more involved & Langdon had a quieter game.   I trust our systems & look forward to seeing what Sparrow brings

    Soooo who’s making it to the game?

    (Would normally attend but unfortunately I’m 868km (according to Google Maps) too far away from being able to utilize the outside of the ground as part of my daily exercise for a run and sneak in a few glimpses while I listen to the radio broadcast)

    Stoked that Sparrow finally gets a run. Hope he gets in the guts and tears it apart.

    Mitch Robinson was pretty good last week. He's the one we'll need to stop.

    Upgrade that from plain white to a sourdough wholemeal Brown rye without the pickled gherkin. Thanks!

    He’s someone that you’ve got to pay a lot of respect to, I think in his case the way to stop him is the win the ball. If he gets lots of uncontested possessions he can hurt you pretty quickly, that said he’s not one that shirks from the contest either. 

    Some big match ups all over the ground, I was really annoyed we lost last year and we’re a much better side now. Really excited for this one!

    Should have won and had we, we'd have made finals.

    I've been casting my mind back to the game. Pickett missed a soda handball to Langdon in the square, Bennell missed from 10m out, then in our final foray forward Hannan had Viney open inside 50 but went long, high and to the pocket, missed, went out on the full, then Fritsch gave away 50 by not giving the ball back.

    Infuriating. Would love to win tomorrow just to feel better about last year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • 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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
