It's hard to argue against the two outs and I'm really happy to see Bowey given a chance, and Sparrow given a game.

Harmes surely on thin ice. Would want to see a massive game from him (tagging Touk Miller, maybe?).

    Can someone confirm why the best kicker at the club can’t get a game?

    Clealry we’re not interested in giving Jackson or Rivers a clearly needed rest.

    Good to see Rivers remains in. Wouldn't make sense taking out one of our more composed players.

    If you're referring to Melksham, whilst I wasn't against us trying him it's not like he's been in any sort of form of late, and we know how damaging (in a bad way) his lack of defensive pressure can be.

    As to Jackson/Rivers, poor form doesn't always mean needs rest. Again, whilst there were arguments about both their spots, were we going to make four changes in one week?

    Pretty good changes, but it would have been great to bring in Weid for Jacko, if for no other reason than to give Jacko a break and try a few things before finals. Harmes has been pretty poor, don't want him doing anything fancy this weekend - tag Touk. That's all.

    Give them an extra couple of days off training? Not sure why rests always need to involve missing a game

    Assume JJ needs a rest. Because he’s been far better and more consistent this season than some of his teammates.

    Would have rested Dogga for the Weid

    Looking forward to seeing Bowey play his first senior game

    Best of luck young man

    Call it an omission then. Jackson could’ve been dropped rather than rested.

    Thrilled for Bowie.  From the bits I’ve seen of the VFL he looks like a beauty!

    I don’t understand the faith being shown in Harmes.

    Fair enough. Thought Melksham could have come in for him personally, but happy to see him hold his spot.

    Hoping there will be a debut announcement video up soon. They're always heart-warming.

    I thought Jacko needed a rest but obviously the club and Burgo are managing him. He needs to lift his second efforts and like the Weid, get some grippo to take those marks.  
     

    This is a must win.  Lose this and the double chance is in jeopardy.

    Good to see two young blokes coming in to give us some energy.

    Jordon has 2 tackles and 3 kicks on the weekend so his form has dropped off which is fair enough for a first year AFL player

    Harmes is very lucky

    Umpire Nathan Williamson out for this week, replaced by Mathew Nicholls of 'why did you do that?' fame.

    LJ should have been managed this week for Melk or Daw.  He hit the wall a few weeks back

    I reckon they've decided this is our best fwd line set up and to give it more weeks to gel together.  Weed coming in didn't work, now BB is struggling but I think it's best to stick with it for now.

    they don't have much up fwd but their young midfield looks full of run and talent

    if May/Petty and Lever can handle King then we should be OK

     

    ps. Cunnington is stiff being marked as 'managed' this week. Bloke lost a nut!

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 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.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
