    Looks to me like Vanders or Jordon for Viney, Weideman on standby for TMac.

    Harmes named on the field just to troll everyone who made the laughable suggestion that he’d be dropped. 

    Oh come on Nasher, it was hardly laughable to question whether he had a good game last week. Just because you disagree doesn't make it a ridiculous suggestion.

    I'd go Jordon for Viney and vandenBerg the sub. But it wouldn't be ridiculous to try Melksham in Viney's role, with a greater portion of time spent in the forward line.

    Weideman the late call up if TMac doesn't make it.

    J Smith named just to frustrate me.

    I’d bring in Vanders for Viney, let him play his 50th in front of a crowd.

    Meanwhile West Coast has made a big statement by dropping Xavier O'Neill and putting Waterman, Hutchings, Rotham and West on their extended bench...

    But seriously, if Vardy plays (and I think there's a fair chance he will, to provide ruck support for Naitanui who will blow up after 15 minutes of trying to follow Gawn and Jackson around the ground), I hope we're into him from the first bounce. For whatever reason I cannot and won't forget him mocking Gawn after Ryan took mark of the year on his head in 2019.

    Also means no Barrass, Ryan or Shuey for West Coast this week.

    I know it was always going to happen, but I love that they stuck with Bowser.  Looked completely at home in his debut last weekend, and adds a valuable touch of class.

    Wasn't that long ago you thought Harmes might come out for Melksham or vandenBerg mate...

    Nah, I did actually laugh when I saw those suggestions and I did think it was ridiculous. His game was imperfect, and he’s an imperfect player, but there was a massive overreaction on here to one or two poor bits of play. He was never going to be dropped.

    So? I never said I get it right all the time, in fact I most certainly don’t. I just thought this one was a pretty easy situation to read.

    Alright mate, bit 'sharp' lately compared to the chill Nash we've always known, hope things are ok.

    Will be interesting to see what happens with TMAC. I don't think he would have gone if they were worried about him playing.

    According to Ben Gibson, T Mac hasn’t taken part in full training just yet over there but they’re confident he’ll be right.

    Can the Monday teams be fiddled around with or are Shuey and Barrass certain non inclusions?

    Shuey usually kills us.

    Not if they're not named in the emergencies.

    no Hibberd is a little surprising... will be interesting to see how the defence structures up against a more agressive forward line than that which GCS served up last week.

    Pretty sure you could arrange a training mishap   and then put up another emergency, probably be a fine but they would not be stopped

    Unfortunately I think he's finished. His past couple of games he's looked cooked.

    Then what? They have to arrange another training mishap to get them into the side.

    not convinced that Bowey is the right replacement though. Could be interesting.

    Seems Lockhart has missed his chance

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
