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

    ❌ Lions missing Gardiner and … otherwise at full strength

    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.

    Agree 100%

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
