Is Bowey a confirmed 'in' or are we just relying on the prognostications of Jay Clark? That's not to say Clark is wrong, but before getting too excited I'd like confirmation first.

I think it's a good idea to get some games into the "next best" after the starting 22. We may need them in September and IĀ would rather have them with some experience ofĀ the senior team game rather than coming in cold.Ā Ā

JayĀ wouldnā€™t post it if he didnā€™t know, he gets inside mailĀ

    Latest word around the footy journos is the most likely scenario we fly in and out of QLD on Saturday.

    Ā 

    Bowey for Rivers is not very like for like, as Rivers does play a shut down role.Ā 

    Bowey would be playing a similar role to either Salem or Hunt.

    So either Salem needs a rest, or they've had enough of Hunt's turnovers?Ā

    Not sure you can say Hardtack necessarily shares this view. What he is doing is sharing his age by referencing this Monty Python gem.Ā

    There are some things that are bigger than a game of football, particularly in the middle of a pandemic when families are under a lot of stress. I would completely understand and respect their choices and would certainly not hold a loss or two against them; in fact, Iā€™d be very surprised if their absence would necessarily lead to a loss in those games.

    Hell you had it easy. I was born in the sea because my dear mum wanted a water birth. But we didn't have a home, so I had to tread water until the tide came in. I've still got barnacles on my legs.

    Fortunately we moved inland to a trout farm. The water's cold but the fish are friendly

    I knew if I kept Bowey in my SuperCoach team all year it would pay off!

    Agree the players and families should be able to make this sacrifice for a week or two.Ā 

    I was away for a couple of 3 week work trips when my kids were babies. My employer did not give me a choice. Admittedly it was not during a pandemic but my wife had no support. She did it tough and we allĀ survived. Unless there are extreme circumstances I have no doubt the MFCĀ players and families will make this sacrificeĀ

    I agree Spargo has great use if the ball but he just hasnt been getting it of late.

    I would not mind him having time in the middle but hes in a slump

    Ā 

    Spargs just needs to get into the forward line alone (not necessarily inside the 50m arc, in fact, preferably not)Ā  and be seen as such in a circular waltz, ready to be seen and fed with low passes.Ā Ā Then his footy smarts, his good foot passing and his calming ease can do their work in the feeding of forwards (provided that those forwards are not static blocks of salt in the hot zone).

    No way Hunt gets dropped after last week's game, which was an improvement on his previous weeks.

    You'd imagine it will either be Rivers or Hibberd.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwinā€™s summer of love.Ā ManyĀ issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      Weā€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesā€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingĀ 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
