We’ve done that a few times over the journey. I remember a game were we played 18 short. 

Who were the 4 'guns' on the bench?

    So Vanders in for Harmes, who has an ear infection, according to one of the MFC instagram pages.

    I wouldn’t call either slow - maybe not express but hardly slow

    I guess a lot of Demonlanders are going to be happy seeing vandenBerg in the team.

    Disappointing IMO for Sparrow that he's missed out on a midfield spot, but let's see how vandenBerg goes.

    OUT: Harmes (EAR INFECTION)
    IN: Aaron vandenBerg 

     

    Curious how AVB will go, if Nate was fit, wonder who would have gotten in

    AVB is going to be useful if the Hawks go the bash, as expected. Aaron will have an opportunity, despite the possibly poor weather conditions, to be a presence and a pillar of strength. He does contribute to making us a better team and has recently been playing really well after recovery. Best wishes for a good game, Aaron.

    Given their injuries, anything less than a 60 point win should be considered a failure tomorrow.

    vandenBerg would be handy in a final against Geelong if they try their usual physical stuff. This is getting some miles into his fragile legs in preparation for a full-tilt run at a flag.

    Don't hate it, although it does nothing to improve our conversion rate up forward.

    Maybe Harmes had the ear infection as early as last week?

    His entire game was summed up in his first 'possession' I reckon. Tried to pick it up around his bootlaces, missed it, kicked it by accident (almost out on the full), fell over.

    Has carried it for a few weeks now. 'Ear infection' is underselling it, he's needing an operation but is hoping to put it off til post-season.

    That’s quite an infection

    Would have been a good opportunity to give Bowey or Bedford a game.

    Yeah, watched the vfl game on Kayo.

    Didn't think AVB was outstanding but was pretty physical as usual.

    Maybe the wet weather swung it his way. Feel for Sparrow.

    Bowey is getting better every game and Bedford will be a great player for us too at some point.

    Jones didn't play, so maybe that's why he's not coming in.
